Pagla Kahin Ka (1970) - Shankar-Jaikishan

Here's a wonderful soundtrack by Shankar-Jaikishan that sounds even better after repeated listening. It starts off nicely with the peppy, latin-sounding "Log Kahen Mujhe Pagla Kahin Ka." Then comes one of Rafi's best: the soulful "Tum Mujhe Yun Bhula Na Paoge." Asha follows with - "Suno Zindagi Gati Hai." Another winner! Next up is Manna Dey's "Meri Bhains Ko Danda Kyon Mara." A fun number. Then, another great sad love song by Rafi - "Ae Mere Dil Yahan." Finally, its Lata's turn to sing "Tum Mujhe Yun Bhula Na Paoge." And beleve it or not this tops Rafi's version! Wow. Although taken from a far less than pristine Lp, I think that overall the sound quality is good. Enjoy! Although not on the album, as a bonus I've included the title music taken from my lower fidelity vcd. This jazzy, John Barryesque number opens the picture as Shammi plays sax and Prem Chopra joins in on guitar while Helen dances away as the credits are displayed. Cool!

Releasing Soon

22 more remastered Helen songs on DVD! My personal favorite is "Aaj Ki Raat" from Anamika (1973). Grain and compression artifacts on "Aaj Ki Raat" have been cleaned up with the Neat Video™ filter. I also unearthed subtitles which I added to the song! Other highlights are "Baharo Ki Kahani" from Pyar Kiya To Darna Kiya and a very interesting and obscure song from a 1958 tamil movie!

I am also going to release the Pagla Kahin Ka (1970) Vinyl Lp by Shankar-Jaikishan in mp3 format.
The movie stars Shammi Kapoor, Asha Parekh and in a rare starring role - Helen! Memorable soundtrack. Sadly, this movie is still unavailable on DVD.
