Laxmikant Pyarelal: Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1978)

Bought this ages ago, played it once, didn't think much of it, stored it... I might not have been paying enough attention. Because listening to it now, I'm thinking 'Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki' is quite alright. Most of side one is Lata Mangeshkar, singing the title tune and several variants thereof - pretty, if maybe on the saccharine side in the long run. Side two has more variation; I like the

Sachin Dev Burman: Ishq Par Zor Nahin (1969)

More of the same... 'Ishq Par Zor Nahin' is another S.D. Burman score where credit is due his son (and to be honest, those are my favourite of his). 'Pyar Bhari Ik Baat Chalo' is a typical Pancham track, sounding like 10 different songs in one, and that's just the intro. Asha Bhosle sighs her way in about midway... top stuff! (But why are my favourite tracks from these films never on YouTube?!?)

Sachin Dev Burman: Sharmilee (1971)

It's been ages since I've posted Sachin Dev Burman, so two of his next, both excellent. They're in fact as much Rahul Dev Burman as they are S.D. though; apparently Burman sr. wasn't very fond of the 'modern' sounds increasingly being implemented into Bollywood music, so instead he called on his son to help out when songs in such a vein were required. Which they must have been on 'Sharmilee' [

Annu Malik: Mard (1985)

One for those of you who like Bollywood music as produced in the mid 80s. I don't much, although 'Mard' [review] [2] is far from the worst I've heard. Best track is 'Sun Rubia Tumse Pyar Ho Gaya', cool for it being all over the place, and admittedly 'Will You Marry Me' puts a grin on my face when I hear it – other than that, it's a soundtrack not really for me. Still have to post it though :-)

Kalyanji Anandji: Black Mail (1973)

So, back. At last. I'll gradually be re-uploading previous albums – in batches probably – if any of you have specific titles you want sooner rather than later, then drop me a line. (You'll notice unavailable titles have download links with strike-throughs, available ones don't).As you all know I was going to post 'Sholay' at this point - but for several reasons (last month's mess being one, the

Sholay is coming...

... it's just going to take a few weeks. See, the real world (day job, moving house, running a record label, family) has had its grip on me lately, and will continue to for a little while longer, leaving little time for posting Bolly soundtracks. So consider this a summer break (it's been raining for a fortnight here incidently... bah!), and Music From The Third Floor will be back with a
