Begam Para in Life

So here it is...

She looks like a brunette haired Marlyn Monroe!

Another super rare treat!

In the next day or two I will be post something that has only been heard of but not seen. Before it was the rare scan of Madubala from the magazine Theatre Arts 1952 but this time around it's something even older! It is Begam Para's 1951 scan from Life. She is not on the cover though, contrary to what as been written on the Internet. So everyone hold on for this rare delight!

More Records!

Got some more lps, so here they are:

1. Andaz
2. Amne Samne - Gate fold cover with a really cool picture of Mithun inside smoking.
3. Carvan
4. Charanjit Singh's Instrumental Songs
5. Dada - Has two awesome songs on this one "Dil Ke Tukde Tukde" and "Gaddi Jandi Aaye"
6. Dafaa 302 - Ok album with nothing much to offer besides the one song "Aap Kya Lenge"
7. Darling Darling - The songs on the cover and LP don't match, on the LP they are in a different order from the one listed on the cover and on a cover they forgot to write down one of the songs.
8. Deewaangee - Don't like this album, plan to sell it.
9. Des Pardes - Don't like this album either, none of the songs do it for me.
10. Dhongee - Love the cover, passed up on it the first time and then went back to switch it with another record and really glad I did, cuz It has some cool song s in it. My favorite is "One Two Three"
11. Dil Aur Deewaar - very risque picture on this cover its of a African woman that is nude from the waist up with Prem Chopra standing in front of it.
12. Do Raaste - I was surprised when I put this one on because on the vinyl the music is overpowered by the vocals. And in the movie I don't remember it being like that.
13. Duniya Meri Jeb Mein - Good record to listen to a few times.
14. Dushmun - Way to much dialogue in this LP, it has only four songs that aren't quite long so they use the dialogue has filler, its really annoying cuz it takes sooo long to get to the actual song.
15. Film Hits 1974 - If anyone gets there hands on this one they shouldn't let it go cuz the pictures on this are too good to pass up. This album has very vibrant pictures on it which are very rare and unseen.
16. Ganwaar - Got really cheap so I cant complain about it.
17. Khandaan - Only like one song the rest are too slow for me.
18. Parchiyiaan - Probably haven't heard this one but its really good, I got it for the cover alone (no pic in collage) which is a bright hot pink and the songs are good too. This was the first album in which R.D. Burman did the music for a full Punjabi song.
19. Parvarish - Really cool sleeve in this one which is more like two posters because its two sheets of paper with pictures on both sides, so four pictures in total.
20. Purab Aur Pachchim - the single one but I so badly want the double one!
21. Pyar Hi Pyar - Pakistani pressing
22. Rafoo Chakkar - Malaysian pressing
23. Sawan Badon - Covers in really bad condition for this one, its from India.
24. Sweeet Melodies - This one was a let down, I thought it would have some cool funky tracks but instead it had very slow sad types of songs.
25. Teesri Manzil - Awesome score, but then again everyone already knew that.
