lets start from here friends :
http://www.hifivision.com/phono-turntables/23708-must-rare-hindi-lp-records-collected.html
i guess from above listed titles that people here are wanting to know which lps could be heard and enjoyed just for the way it sounds from your system. regardless of the lyrics and vocals. so here i d remind you all about the songs we listen to while watching movies in multiplex. those multimillion rupee systems with great acoustics ensure that we sit through the song even if its a less heard/unpopular number. honestly how many times do we feel like shutting down our ears when such a song plays in hall??
now a real good system will work pretty much same or better. a good song will sound great. a song that u dont like will also be enjoyable. mostly due to fine musical naunces that your system can recreate and which however aren t noticed on lesser systems.
reason is simple- even your least likaeble song in a rdb or arr title was still conceived , enacted and recorded by maestros. the best in business guys. in every song, they put their blood and bones. every song is good at that level. whichever system recreates it will make you enjoy it.
i see that most people here are only referring to 'music' to their ears which is mostly foot stomping songs.
now let me describe a few individual songs that you absolutely must listen to. not mentioning the commoner/superhit ones.
listen to 'o babua' by ashaji. kickdrums in this song are kicka** drums. a song i didn t like for ages when i had cassette of sadma and 2 in 1 decks.
on lp this song was sooo enjoyable, musical, the details, the beats reproduced faithfully.... it spellbound me. it was a song i outright disliked before this first audition.
next up, listen to yeh hawa, yeh fazaa.. the opening song in the movie. ashaji and suresh wadkar... a song i bet most of you wont recall in mind first thing when someone says 'sadma'.
now tell me whats up on platter next.
now a few of the songs you must go down and listen to. even if you dont have the lps... -
ever heard of kenny g? especially his vocal songs where he accompanies todays best and hit artists eg. how could an angel break my heart? now multiply the fun to 10 times.ever listened to flute in real life?? live?? its spellbinding. now imagine listening to indias most coveted flute player. couple the flute with legendary lataji. add some super beatsy tabla and jhankaars of a ghunghroo.: spin a 'basant bahar' and play ' mai piya teri tu mane ya na mane'
forget songs list- this is one of this 'things to do before i die' experience. please dont wait for its lp to enjoy magic. live once before you die.
JJWS- jawan ho yaaron ye tumko hua kya. - the opening chore when you can make out every instrument joining the tune serially,clearly... this is the song that makes a blind man 'see' the stage in his room. that the song was actually shot on a stage helps.
sanam teri kasam- jaane jaan (nisha). the way your system will come alive on this yet another 'stage song'... youll feel like hugging your system in one large embrace. one of the songs to demo your system to audionoobs.
karz- paisa yeh paisa- if you dont know what terms like 'timing' and attack means, listen it here. your heartbeats will halt when kishoreda take a 'theka'.
alibaba aur 40 chor- i am hating myself for listing song that aint easy to find.
spin khatouba once. you ve listned to this one in pieces in a kishore da in the mix 10-12 yrs ago. spin this on vinyl and see what made those remix artist choose this song for their compilation. no price for guessing which one is better. my take- original=100... remix =0.1
inteqaam(1969)- do you know one sunidhi from mumbai??? chouhan??
do you know she was 13 when she won the finale of a reality singing competetion? do you know, hosted by annu kapoor- an accomplished classical singer , and grand prize awarded by latajii herself, this was a no nonsense cut throat singing competetion and no. it was not a li'l champs or a junior competetion. it was a full blown affair that had best amateur singers from india marking their presence with no seperate male-female section. sunidhi beat them all.
now do you remember what song she sang in grande finale when latajii herself was in the audience???
now do you think she chose this song at random??do you think she must ve chose the song herself without consulting her gurus and other bosses ?? do you really wonder what must have enchanted them to select that perticular song?? do you want the answer????
listen to aa jane jaan on lp. note- on LP.
muqaddar ka sikandar- pyar zindagi hai
last for today- caravan. i guess no one has listed this earlier. and i d have shot myself if i haven t mentioned this one in my very first post-
dilbar dil se pyar opens with a bell/thali kinda instrument ringing in sloe rhythm. immediately gives the feel of sitting out there in the open surrounding the belles akin to something of a desert safari night setting. further development of song entrances you there and then.
keep spinning. rafi saab sang a folk type goria kahan tera des re. want some more- piya tu ab to aaja and chadhti jawani meri chaal mastaani .. hell why should they need a description. all i can say is, cabaret by lataji. now if you wondered who sang the best ones in hindi movies.... !!!

cbs records will generally have sharp clear highs and deeps lows. totally does justice to club music. who says vinyls are only good for midrange?Hi saket,
How about sadma, I have not heard it.

ahem... !! all the tracks?? that exactly is bone of contention in this thread . which songs will u listen to even if you dont like the lyrics/singing etc etc.Just an after-thought :
Apart from the sound quality, almost all of the LPs listed till now have very good music too.
I would be happy to hear these even on short wave radio with all the crackling static.
ever since he made it big, rdb was king of hiphop in his era. paid unprecedented attention to the recording /instrumentation of it all surpassing (ahem..) previous kings- laxmi-pyare. next up after him could be bappi lahri. people like biddu, ilaiya raja... list goes on and on. in fact after 60s, when pure ragas were kind of well utilized in movies, there came this genre of music directors who used instruments to make their songs cool.Most of RDB's early 80s soundtracks sound pretty good on vinyl. My Polydor / Music India pressing of Yeh Vaada Raha is excellent
forget it man. disco dancer =usha aiyer/uthup. koi yahan aha nache nache= club burning music anywhere.Disco Dancer LP...esp the track yaad aa raha hai tera pyar has been recorded better than anything I have heard on an LP probably. Excellent Instrument clarity & vocals are as crisp as anything.
FMs Give it a try & let me know your experiences
