Exonji,

Thanks for uploading the Asha-Shammi song. Heard it for the first time.

It reminds me of Dil Pukare Aare Aare duet of Rafi and Lata from Jewel Thief. The tunes sound similar.

Thanks a lot.

Rajan

P.s. I listened this song for the second time now. Initially during slow alap, I remembered Nanhi Kali Sone chali. Then for a short time I felt I was getting a hint of Tum Na Jaane Kis Jahan mein. Then a line reminded of Jewel Thief number. - Rajan

Singapore (1960)

Here is another great musical from the team of Shammi and Shankar & Jaikishan. I have all eight songs from the original CD I am uploading here. I am also uploading seven extended versions of the songs. Some of these came from DVD rips and others were contributed by the Forum members. I may have changed the bit rates to 192 Kb/s from the original uploaded ones. Please accept my apologies in advance if this bothers you. I generally clean these songs if it is necessary and try to reduce background noise if it exists. It probably was not the case with these. When you are working with multitudes of songs it is difficult to keep tabs on which ones were worked on.

Now for details of the songs and the songs themselves ...

Thanks for Singapore tracks! SP ji, I find Padmini and Shammi rather a rare couple onscreen. Is this the only movie they starred together or are there more?

[vdsachin]

Thank You for the Singapore album Swarnapriya Ji

I believe that is the case. The Eagle Films banner made many movies with Shammi. Two years earlier, Shammi was teamed with Padmini's younger sister Ragini in "Mujrim", produced by the same banner. Padmini, a great dancer, passed away this past year after living in US for a long time. She ran a dance school there and may have been in diamonds business as well.

Cheers,

I may have changed the bit rates to 192 Kb/s from the original uploaded ones.

Changing the bitrate upwards does not make a difference, except for larger files.

Unfortunately, it does make one big difference apart from increasing the file size: converting an existing mp3 from one bitrate to another actually *worsens* the audio quality. The sound quality of an mp3 depends on the settings at which the *original* conversion was done: i.e, when the song was first ripped from its original format (tape, CD, DVD, etc) and converted to mp3. Any re-conversion of the mp3 - regardless of the bitrate of the reconversion- necessarily increases the loss incurred in the original conversion.

If we are stuck with a low-res mp3 version of a song, just leave it alone. The only way to get a high-res version is to find the original recording (or, if possible, a version in a non-lossy/not-so-lossy format like wav or Apple Lossless) and freshly encode it in mp3 setting a higher bitrate.

Warm regards,
Abhay
