Kalyanji Anandji: Ek Haseena Do Diwane (1971)

Ek Haseena Do Diwane

Another fine effort from the Shah brothers. Peppy and poppy in tone, mostly; check out 'Aaja Ya Aajane De Paas' and 'Do Qadam Tum Bhi Chalo'. And the fab Northern Soul instrumental serving as an intro to 'Yeh Nach Wach Kya Hai'; I kind of wish they'd made it into a separate track. Luckily the subsequent Rafi song is good as well.

Curiously, my copy of 'Ek Haseena Do Diwane' is pressed under licence in Barbados. And I recall reading somewhere that this soundtrack was in fact only available in/from the West Indies, initially. Very bizarre, if at all true.

Track listing:
1. Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhosle: Aaja Ya Aajane De Paas
2. Mukesh & Lata Mangeshkar: Do Qadam Tum Bhi Chalo
3. Manna Dey: Hare Rama
4. Mukesh: Do Qadam Tum Na Chale
5. Mohd. Rafi: Yeh Nach Wach Kya Hai
6. Asha Bhosle: Prem Pujarin Mang Men Bharke

  4. Thanks PC !

    Just curious, on the vinyl of "Gambler" (1971) that you have, are there any pics of RD Burman on them ?. I am told there were pics of him on the vinyl when it was released.

    If possible, can you please take a snapshot of these pics ?.

  5. Can't download!!!
    The given link "http://lix.in/-76e5a7" opens a window listing several hosting sites like DepositFiles, MegaUpload, etc, but how do we proceed from there? The download links "Click Here" against each one of them don't work. Am I missing something? Please help.
