Lata-ji: "Abhi tho main jawaan hoon" (Film: AFSANA), music by Husnlal Bhagatram.

For old-timers, this song has a special appeal. It used to be the prelude to one of the programs of Radio Ceylon. But the line "Abhi tho main jawaan hoon" is, in my opinion, the copyright of Mallika Pukhraj!

Unniji,

As far as I could tell by the wave form, the song was digitized at a high volume, so most of the distortions would vanish if you adjusted the volume of your mixer. At another forum, someone was kind enough to go into the detail of transferring from audio tapes, if I get a hold of that information, I'll post it here... I am sure the forum has a place for such information.

Some of your recent Asha uploads too show this kind of a sound wave.

Also it's a good idea to record a couple of seconds of silence before and after the song, this helps with noise reduction at a later stage... here... let me try and get my hand on those guidelines.

The second version of "Tere Bachpan Ko" was less distorted. I can do the stereo thing myself, so that wasn't a problem, I just didn't know how to get rid of the distortions. Thanks a lot for all this attention to detail. Now if I can somehow convince you about the importance of posting the song lenght too

Yesterday on "Abhi to main jawan hoon" they showed the full "Teri pyari pyari soorat ko", I would love to have the song with the last stanza... something about dil mein teer... (hopefully someday I'll learn to transfer from video cassette to the computer), right now I wouldn't even know if someone uploaded the full version unless they said so or posted the song length, and I just can't go about downloading all the songs and checking for myself!

Anyways ... maybe its not so important to have "full" songs after all, this music is surely becoming a mania )
