BOLLYWOOD COLLECTORS! I go out almost weekly to quality estate sales to find QUALITY items to offer to you. Typically I look for “fun” items. Things I personally enjoy. All items are NEW or in LIKE NEW shape. It is my pleasure to unite these items with new owners/collectors. Recently I happened upon a Bollywood LP collector.

For sale is a highly sought-after, original 1984 Indian FIRST pressing of the Lava Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Featuring legendary music by Rahul Dev Burman and timeless lyrics by Anand Bakshi, this classic HMV/EMI release is a must-have for vintage Bollywood collectors, DJs, and sampling enthusiasts.

This specific copy carries incredible diaspora history, FEATURING an authentic, vintage shop sticker from the ICONIC ABC Music Shop in Southall, UK, where it was originally imported and sold in the 1980s.

Catalog Number: ECLP. 5949

MATRIX/ Runout (Stamped in Dead Wax): 2XJW 6243 T1 | 34 293

Country of Manufacture: India (The Gramophone Company of India Ltd. Dum Dum Factory)

Condition Grading:

Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+) to Excellent (EX)

Visual: The vinyl is beautiful and visually clean, retaining its original high-gloss sheen. Label faces are pristine with minimal spindle wear.

Dead Wax Identifiers: Features the authentic, physically stamped identifiers 2XJW 6243 T1 and 34 293 in the runout groove. The highly desirable "T1" stamper suffix confirms this as a VERY early lacquer cutting from the master tapes at the Dum Dum pressing facility—offering the truest audio dynamics.

Audio: Fully play-tested! The record plays exceptionally well with NO skips. Audio is crisp and smooth, providing an excellent listening or archiving experience.

Sleeve Condition: Good Plus (G+) to Very Good (VG) The original jacket remains bright and structurally sound, showing expected vintage shelf wear, minor corner scuffs, and slight creasing around the openings consistent with its 40+ year age.

FEATURES a beautiful piece of physical music history with an original 1980s ABC Music Shop (Southall, UK) retail import sticker affixed to the back.

Note: The original, generic inner paper sleeve is missing and has been safely replaced with a brand-new, clean white paper inlay to ensure the vinyl stays protected from dust and scuffs.

Environment: Kept safely in a clean, smoke-free, and climate-controlled home.

Look over the many photos to see all angles and any flaws. NO STOCK PHOTOS. I have never trusted them. What you see is what you get with no surprises.

The entire package will be placed in a dedicated cardboard LP mailer, sandwiched tightly between rigid corrugated cardboard stiffeners to prevent any bending or twisting in the mail.

Also please note that what I charge for shipping is what I pay. No lower cost item with higher shipping games. I find that very not cool indeed. Shipped in a BOX with proper padding. I will use the safer ground advantage over media mail.
