Naushad: Shabab (1954) / Laxmikant Pyarelal: Aap Beati (1976)

Shabab

An even odder pairing, perhaps, and a radical change of pace. 'Shabab' is traditional and low-key; pretty much what I expect from Naushad. There's nothing on it that really sticks out. It's pleasant enough, and 'Jogan Ban Jaoongi' is kind of nice, but in total probably not a record I'll play a lot.

Aap Beati

Laxmikant Pyarelal's 'Aap Beati' obviously has a more modern sound. But sans any of the stuff I generally look for in Bollywood soundtracks. A bit dull, to be honest.

Onwards to the good stuff...

Track listing, Shabab:
1. Mohd. Rafi & Lata Mangeshkar: Man Ki Been Matwari
2. Lata Mangeshkar: Jogan Ban Jaoongi
3. Lata Mangeshkar: Jo Main Janti Bisarat Hain Saiyan
4. Mohd. Rafi: Yehi Arman Lekar

Track listing, Aap Beati:
1. Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar & Usha Mangeshkar: Meri Dilruba
2. Kishore Kumar & Amit Kumar: Kismat Ki Baat Ka
3. Lata Mangeshkar: Zara Jaldi Jaldi Mila

  3. Hi! I am unable to unZip the Naushad with any software I have, because the folder has a character which can not appear in Windows file names - specifically, the full colon in "(1953:1968)." I can not rename the folder or devise any other workaround. Can you please post a replacement folder or something?
