Description
Over the next few weeks I will be posting some vintage Bollywood 78s from the 1940s and 1950s. Some titles are common and others are very rare. Most are on the His Master's Voice (HMV) label and pressed by the Gramophone Co. of India Ltd. Very few are on the Columbia and Hindustan labels. Our collector may have had ties to the radio business because some of the titles are promotional or have alternate labels to the commercially released singles. In addition, our collector made several attempts to categorize/organize his collection over the years, so some titles have numbered stickers on the labels. Wherever possible I have documented or photographed these.
The 78s vary in condition from EX (excellent) to VG- (poor). They were stored in the original paper sleeves, so are mostly scratch-free but need a good cleaning. These are all hard shellac 78s and not pressed on vinyl. I have not made any attempt to clean these 78s whatsoever. They will be shipped insured in new acid-free inner sleeves. UPS insures all packages for $100. You can increase this insurance to $300 for an additional $4.
That said, these titles are 70-80 years old and are not guaranteed to play. I have tested some copies and they play through with no problem. For some of the more common titles, you may prefer these 78s as display items. The labels are in excellent condition (see pics).
This lot includes titles spanning 1949 and featuring the legendary Lata Mangeshkar, along with Mohammed Rafi and Muskesh. The songs are from the Hindi romantic drama Andaz (1949) and the blockbuster tragic romance Barsaat (1949) which set Bollywood box office records of the day.
