I didn't know Vidyapati was a Bhijpuri film. Lata's Mere Naina Sawan Bhado from that film is an absolute beauty, so are the songs from Madmast.

All the songs of this movie recorded in the voice of suraiya, were under
his guidance and baton. The piano used in these songs profusely is played
by him.

I have been looking for Humne Kisi Ki aankhon mein and Mera pyar mujhe lauta do since long. I have - Mera Pyar mujhe lauta do - but it is rerecorded version and not the original which I used to hear in early 60s. Talat Saheb's voice is not the same. Also the side music is slightly different.

Request you to please share these songs.

With sincere regards,

Rajan

Dear RajanCS,

Here is a decent quality "Meraa Pyaar Mujhe Loutaa Do". I do not know if it is the rerecorded version. But Talat's voice sounds like his usual voice.

Thanks for the instrumental album image. I have several tracks from this album and they are very good.

Exon

Please upload the songs of Vidyapati (1964), except Mosey Roothh Gayo Banwari, Morey Naina Sawan Bhadon and Jay Gange Maan. In particular, I am looking for Kakhan Harab Dukh Mor Bholanath by Dhananjay Bhattacharya. Haven't heard this beautiful bhajan for ages.

Thanks in anticipation

Pradeep

Pradeep,

I am also looking for other songs from this movie; I have only those three songs.

Exon

The only other song I do have, buried somewhere among my cassettes back home, is the radio recording of the above bhajan from one of the Vividh Bharti programmes I used to hear several years back on the radio. On my last couple of visits back home I tried to locate it but without success. The last I heard it, was several years back, and have been yearning to hear it again. Hope someone will be able to upload the digital version.
