Disko Şov – “Smokie and Grace Jones” – Issue #32, August 16, 1982 – Free Supplement to Hey Magazine – Turkish Edition
Description:
Hey was a popular Turkish weekly music, cinema, and youth magazine first published in 1970. It became well known for its coverage of Turkish and international artists, pop and rock music, and regular music charts based on record sales and radio airplay. Disko Şov was a free supplement to Hey, featuring additional music news, artist profiles, and stories about the international music scene.
This Turkish-language issue, dated August 16, 1982, is the 32nd issue of Disko Şov. The cover features the British glam rock band Smokie in a large photograph, alongside a smaller image of Jamaican-born American singer Grace Jones, known for her distinctive style. One of the main features commemorates the fifth anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death with a special profile illustrated with archival photographs. Another article, titled “A Fan of Bob Marley!..,” explores the musical vision of August Darnell, leader of Kid Creole and the Coconuts. The issue also includes a report about Shakin’ Stevens and the controversy described as “deceiving his fans.”
The “Disko Ekspres” section brings together short international music reports covering David Bowie’s family relationships, comments about Joan Baez, guitarist Michael Schenker’s career, Jay’s birthday, Paul McCartney’s busy working schedule, and Rita Marley’s work in reggae music. With its mix of rock legends, distinctive performers, archival photography, and international music news, this issue offers an appealing snapshot of early 1980s music culture in a Turkish publication.
