for anybody interested, there is a huge bazar in the konak district, city center, here you can literally buy anything! from spices to washing machines, from gum boots to bride dresses. somewhere hidden between thousands of tea rooms, cafes and little restaurants there are a few 'antique shops' they carry loads of turkish pop/traditional stuff 7", some 12" and LPs. i managed to find some strange turkish disco stuff and belly dance music. beware! i didnt find one record i would grade VG or better.
