digging on india

Digging for records is pretty much my favorite drug, and I'd like to think I'm pretty good at it, but the real truth is - its just not hard. Get up early, go to flea markets, dig through every record at the thrift store, check out garage sales and estate sales - and you'd be hard-pressed not to find some great rare records for nickels on the dollar. You've got to be careful though, because at a certain point the quest for records can consume you; working in record stores, I've seen the type. They are invariably quite sad, old, white and lonely.

Anyway, the whole point is, these guys love to brag about what they've got, but are loathe to mention where they found it. Sharing is caring, so that's what I'm going to do - talk about where I dig up this black gold.

So that makes it a little strange that the first post of this nature is going to feature a record someone else found for me, but aha! I told them where to go. Turns out, I've got digging spots in places I've never even been, so when my good friend Jake told me he was going to Mumbai, I dug up this:


I believe I found it on a thread over at Soul Strut, a forum about records. Turns out, it was a pretty worthwhile venture. Jake ended up bringing back a couple hundred Bollywood (picture sleeve!) 45's that he bought for ridiculously cheap. He was kind enough to pass on a couple of 45's and this:


It's a stone cold bollywood classic, featuring RD Burman, Asha Bhosle and more. Download link here:

Thanks again Jake!
