Your Favourites from Laxmikant Pyrelal (1974)



Laxmikant Pyrelal were a duo who composed over 500 songs for Hindi films between the early '60s and the '90s. They worked with all the great Bollywood playback singers over the years. This compilation album that I picked up at a local boot sale features songs recorded between 1969 and 1974 and features great singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Mukesh and Mohd. Rafi, but its Asha Bhosle who takes my top prize with this inspired piece of musical mania:

Tracklist:

01 El Pyar Ka Naghma Hai
02 Sharafat Chhod Di Main Ne
03 Mere Dil Men Aaj Kya Hai
04 Sa Re Ga Ma Pa
05 Khilona Jan Khar
06 Bindiya Chamke Gi
07 Chabi Kho Jae
08 Hangama Ho Gaya
09 Yeh Jeevan Hai
10 Achha To Hum Chalte Hain
11 Jal Bin Machhli
12 Sawan Ka Mahina

Okay, the poorly recorded tracks have been replaced with nice clean recording which you can get HERE. My apologies to those of you who downloaded the first attempt.

Awesome video! A bit unusual to see that much booze in a Bollywood pic, nah? Wonder what the lyrics are about... DLing right now, thanks! I could imagine this show up on an upcoming Hindi Funk comp (if it's not included on one already).

Btw: I've just uploaded a few Armenian-American R'n'R wonders that you may enjoy over at my blog;

Hi Jono,
Nice to hear from you. Yes, the clip is properly wild - I hope you enjoy the rest of the lp. The Armenian stuff sounds very interesting though I've not had the chance to listen yet. But many thanks for all the Persian stuff you've been posting.
