Tony Bennett The Very Thought Of You (1967, Hallmark label, original British pressing)
Vinyl I am listening to...
- Thread starter mahiruha
- Start date
Two very unconventional ladies - one singing in the voice of a pre-teen girl and another who mashes up her lyrics (difficult to follow her songs even when you have the lyrics in your hand!). Nevertheless, a refreshing change from the usual love ditties.

sadma, noted for first time that its penned by gulzar saab. and i discovered musicality of my system when i was awestruck while listening to yeh hawa ye faza and o babua ye mahua- 2 tracks i gave pass earlier on after my first listening on a not so hifi system long back.
next up- ali baba 40 chor and man... khatouba -listen to ashaji and u wont regret if u die the next moment.
sheesh mahal- the totally classical renditions by ghulaam ali saab. have the tape too, but that cover,unlike the lp cover, nowhere mentions what ragas each bandish is based on- evidence to how vinyls were the preferred siblings.

Recently on vinyl format have been hearing:
- SAJDA - Jagjit Singh / Lata Mangeshkar - awesome album and sounds more awesome on LP's - it's a two-disc set.
- ABBA the Album - for nostalgic reasons
A lot of nineties movies LP's are sth I have been diligently collecting and enjoying and I spent a few days last week going through them too. Mixed bag of music:
- HUNDRED DAYS
- LOOTERE
- LEKIN - too good! And the quality I have is near-mint!
- LAMHE
- ASHIQUI
- JUNOON
- PYAR DIWANA HOTA HAI ( A flop film with music by Babul Bose, and songs by Kumar Sanu - Alka Yagnik - Udit Narayan - Poornima...strictly for nineties lovers).
- PYAR KA TARANA
- YALGAAR
At the time of the release of these films, in the early nineties, when I was in college I had no clue that these LP's were also getting released simultaneously.
Of course, then there are the loveable golden oldies which are the more staple and consistent listens for me
Hoardes of Madan Mohan and Shankar-Jaikishan scores !!!

My latest purchase :
THE MANGANIYAR SEDUCTION - by Roysten Abel
THE MANGANIYAR SEDUCTION - by Roysten Abel
a) Van Halen - Divers Down. Helped me rediscover the flaming talent that was VH. Also, I had never heard the full version of VH's cover of the Roy Orbison song "Pretty Woman". What I had heard was I guess the radio edit with a shortened intro. The LP version has the full monty. Very nice.
b) Sadao Watanabe - My Dear Life. Hearing Watanabe after some 15-16 years. I didn't know he played the flute too (besides sax).
c) The Police - Synchronicity. Every Breath You Take and King Of Pain still rock after all these years!
d) Bryan Adams - Into The Fire. Certainly not his best
e) America - Alibi. Yet to give it a proper hearing.
f) Asia - Asia. Need to give it more hearing.

Stuff I played over the last weekend:
Paul McCartney & Wings - Back to the egg: An unusual record, with some new-wave influences, showing that McCartney was ready to take on the 80s wave without losing his trademark melodies and catchiness. Indian LP, but surprisingly with very nice artwork, and a black inner sleeve with credits. I haven't seen any other Indian LP with a custom inner sleeve, has anyone?
Carpenters - Horizon: Regulation Carpenters - if you like one, you'll probably like them all. This one has some of my favourites, including "Only yesterday", "Please Mr. Postman" and Solitaire. US A&M pressing, with a nice envelope-style packaging and picture inner sleeve with lyrics and a photograph.
Al Stewart - Year of the cat: Al's breakthrough album, noted mostly for the commercial success of the title track, but includes some other stellar songs like the orchestral "Lord Grenville", the Spanish-tinged "On the border", and my personal favourite, "Broadway Hotel". with its haunting violin solo.
RD Burman - Yeh Vaada Raha: A childhood favourite that I picked up recently more out of nostalgia, but most of this holds up quite well even today. Title track is the obvious best, but the others are quite nice too. Sounds suprisingly good for a Music India pressing.

Nice! Don't have any Kate on vinyl, would love to get Hounds of love.
RLJ's debut is just made for vinyl. The jazz-drum kick at the start of "Chuck E's in love" sounds beautiful.
I have a scratchy Indian pressing of this one, doesn't sound that great, but it's a fine, underrated record from Stevens' less successful period. The "Foreigner suite" is quite engaging with some good synthesizer work.
1. AC/DC - For Those About To Rock - nice golden glossy cover, and of course filled with the Aussies' hard-hitting anthems.
2. Steve Winwood - Talking Back To The Night.
I would love to pick up INXS albums in good condition.

Carpenters - Passage.
The song 'sweet sweet smile' really brings out the smile on Karen Carpenter's face too that would have been there when she had recorded the song.

1. Cher - Star
2. Don Henley - Building The Perfect Beast
3. America - Perspective (very un-America sounding album)
4. Bryan Adams - Reckless - didn't go for the concert, so comforted myself with full listen of what I consider to be his best album. Got lot's of good memories associated with this album.
