- Telegram groups or Turkish music forums
Criteria for the "Perfect" Archive:
- Original Recordings (Orijinal Kayıtlar): Avoid modern "remixes" or "DJ Remix" versions. You want the original vinyl rips or CD transfers from the era.
- "Yüksek Kalite" (High Quality): Look for 320kbps or FLAC. Older tapes have a warm sound, but clarity matters.
- Album Art: Part of the nostalgia is the album covers. Try to find the original cover art for the metadata.
