Rahul Dev Burman: Joshila (1973)

Joshila

I like 'Joshila'. Again, this is one where I was told not to expect much, it's a minor work etc... but for crying out loud, listen to 'Sona Roopa Layo Re' and tell me this isn't prime cut R.D. Burman. Crazy moogs, Asha, a groovy beat... it's ace. So is 'Kaanp Rahi Main', starting off with a scream (usually a good sign), nice and jazzy, shuffling along, sometimes cool, sometimes manic... nothing minor at all. 'Jo Baat Isharon Main' is Lata Mangeshkar at her loveliest, 'Kuchh Bhi Kar Lo' is plain good poppy fun (with the silliest of visuals), 'Dil Main Jo Naatain Hain' has an awesome intro... need I go on? You know you want this.

Track listing:
1. Kishore Kumar: Kiska Rasta Dekhay
2. Asha Bhosle: Sharma Na Yoon
3. Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar: Kuchh Bhi Kar Lo
4. Asha Bhosle: Kaanp Rahi Main
5. Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhosle: Dil Main Jo Naatain Hain
6. Lata Mangeshkar: Jo Baat Isharon Main
7. Asha Bhosle & Chorus: Sona Roopa Layo Re
8. Lata Mangeshkar: Mehfil Main Chhupane Pade

  4. No, afraid i don't. I'm aware of him, but none of the ones I've come across have seemed very interesting... which means I might have passed up on some good stuff, but there you go.

  12. Hi, I just wanted to say how great it is to have access to all this great music. I was really inspired by your blog and will be uploading my own Bollywood Lp collection as well. I like everything, but I mainly like soundrack from the 50's. So if you have any tips , or any suggestions, please, I am open to them. My first Lp , is Raj Kapoor's Awaara witch the songs will be up in a couple of days,

  13. dear 3rd floor man
    i requested this upload and i am so grateful for your generosity. this was my 1st rd burman kick. in the meantime, i lost the cassete and the songs have been on my mind for all these years. thanks for sharing.
    however, it seems that the file has been deleted. could you please help?

    p.s. don't worry about that fake letter. where would they be if they decided to track down every shareblog-owner?
