Thanks, Sri. The errors are due to conflicting information, like album covers showing different from web sources.

We can sort by an easy method, i.e. year of release of film.

Thanks for Flurry of Uploads.

Uploading few more. Song courtsey for 2 songs: Mohammed(mohd2004)

Just remembered a lovely song from 1950 which is not in my compilation:

"Jaatey Ho Toh Jaao, Hum Bhi Yahaan Vaadon Ke Sahaarey Jee Lengey"
("KHEL" - Music Sajjad Hussain)

If someone has it in good quality, please upload. Thanks!

Initially I'd thought I'd compile 200 of my favourite songs of Lata-ji. Then it went up to 250. Now it's around 275. Bet it goes up to 300, just about right for 20 audio CDS. After my hard-drive crash experience, I've now saved a few copies of this compilation on DVD disks! But uploading the whole lot is gonna be a real job!

A sprinkling of duets have been included in this compilation, representing Lata-ji's musical collaboration with the great male artistes of that era. The duets were chosen for different reasons. The duet with Rafi-sahab from "BIRHA KI RAAT" was one of their early duets, an "innocent" uncomplicated tune representative of the times, as a precursor to three decades of fruitful collaboration. The duets with Karan Dewan, Talat-sahab, Mukesh-ji and Kishore-da I consider particularly melodious and memorable landmarks of HFM. The one duet (coming up later) with Manna Dey, was incidental, for it was predominantly in Lata-ji's voice. I could not resist including an ethereal duet with Hemant-da (also coming up). I intend to add the beautiful duet with Mahendra Kapoor from "Adventures of Robin Hood".

Many of the songs, and particularly most from 1960 onwards, come under the definition of "easily-available songs". Even earlier songs, such as the classic 'Yeh Zindagi Usiki Hai" can be found on any compilation of Lata-ji's best songs, just as "Aayega Aaneywala" from "MAHAL". Such songs are being uploaded in this thread only for chronological continuity, and my apologies for uploading such popular songs.

Music companies often include only one song from a movie in each compilation. But I've gone by the quality of the songs, and in instances such as "BARSAAT", "AAH", "YASMIN", etc. there were several lovely songs of Lata-ji in the same movie, hence I've included them.

To be even safer you should have the DVD backups at different geographic locations. Mera pata bhej doon??

Drat it, I'd have thought you'd want some more insurance and a more accessible place. (I see a whole lot of HFers claiming to be nearer Connecticut than Michigan!) Haaye re meri kismat!!

But do slow down the pace, there's a dear. (Now I see a whole lot of HFers wanting to beat me up!!)

U ji, why dont you stream these (at 24 AAC mind!! ) for a pre determined 45 mins / hour each day?

Great minds think alike. (Fools seldom differ! ). I was in fact planning a program in two parts, with one song for each year. Maybe, after the uploads.
