The Hollies – Tell Me to My Face Turkish Vintage Musical Notes Sheet Turkey

The Hollies – Tell Me to My Face – Musiki Ar-Ak Evi, Istanbul – 1960s – English

Description:

Tell Me to My Face is an English-language sheet music publication featuring the song performed by The Hollies, one of the most successful British pop and rock groups of the 1960s. The song was recorded in 1966 and appeared on the group’s album For Certain Because..., with the composition written by Allan Clarke, Graham Nash and Tony Hicks. The song is particularly interesting for its melodic and atmospheric character, while its contemporary recordings also circulated internationally. This printed musical score preserves a piece of the era’s popular music culture, when international songs were circulated not only through records and radio but also through printed sheet music.

Published in Istanbul by Musiki Ar-Ak Evi, the sheet belongs to the output of one of the notable music publishers and printing houses active in Turkey during the 1960s and 1970s. These publications made popular international music accessible to musicians and music enthusiasts who wished to perform the songs themselves.

Before the digital era, printed sheet music played an important role in domestic musical life. A popular song could be brought into the home through a piano, guitar, or another instrument, allowing families and friends to reproduce and share the music themselves. In this sense, this sheet music is not simply a printed song but a small surviving document of the social and domestic music culture of mid-20th-century Turkey.

For collectors of vintage sheet music, The Hollies memorabilia, British pop and rock music, international music ephemera, and Turkish music publishing history, this Istanbul-printed edition offers an evocative example of how British popular music was published and enjoyed in Turkey during the 1960s.
