Kalyanji Anandji: 5 Rifles (1973) / Naami Chor (1975)

5 Rifles

A couple of Kalyanji Anandji EPs while I'm at it.

'5 Rifles' falls more or less into the same category as 'Hasina Maan Jaayegi' below... there are bouncy rock 'n' roll bits in 'Tera Husn Allah Allah', 'Pyar Ke Patang Ki' has a great intro; otherwise there's nothing much of interest going on.

Naami Chor

'Naami Chor' is better... 'Kahte Hain Mujhko' is a cool Kishore Kumar number featuring an ace piano and whistling break (there's a Spanish trumpet in there as well) and Asha's 'Aap Se Mujhe Aap Se Pyar Ho Hi Gaya' has a nice mid-tempo beat, plenty of instrumental details as well as being a lovely choon.

Track listing, '5 Rifles':
1. Kishore Kumar & Chorus: Jab Se Sarkar Ne
2. Kishore Kumar: Tera Husn Allah Allah
3. Kishore Kumar & Chorus: Pyar Ke Patang Ki
4. Asha Bhosle: Malmal Men Dadan

Track listing, 'Naami Chor':
1. Kishore Kumar: Kahte Hain Mujhko Raja
2. Asha Bhosle: Aap Se Mujhe Aap Se Pyar Ho Hi Gaya
3. Asha Bhosle, Mahendra Kapoor & Chorus: Aaye Hai Jo Mahfil Men - Qawwali

    This is indeed a great blog.

    Leaves me wishing that there was one out there that featured Arabic (etc) Bellydance tunes from the past. Radio Bastet is great but unfortunately she doesn't do whole albums.
