2. Hanumaanji : Original and Best (Most heard song)

After test video, learned a thing of two (like whatsapp etc does not allow long videos and use much audio and video compression). Also found that they sound terrible on mobile phones and even worse without earphone. Portability at the cost of fidelity. Recorded many rarities for dear ones since 2022 but Hanumaanji ka video sabse pehle. The original and best. It is also the most heard song since childhood.

Kaun sa gaana sabse jyada baar suna hai? Ye Hanumaanji ka jo jab hum chote the moradabad mein to pass mein gandhi ashram mein ye roj bajta tha. Hari Om Sharan ki awaj mein. Original recording 1977 ki hai.Us samay hum bhi ek cassette le aaye jo pirated cassette tha -T-Series ka. Gulshan.kumar jo shady practices ke liye famous tha wo HMV ke gaane apne label per release kar raha tha. Baad mein jab T-series bohat badi company ho gayi tab 1991 mein unhone Hari Om Sharan se dobara recording karwayi apne liye. Per usmein wo baat ny thi kyoki HMV ki recording ke samay Hari Om Sharan sadhu ki tarah tapasya karke aaya tha, baad mein wo artist cum businessman jyada tha.

Bajrangbali.ki kripa hamesha bani rahe har bhale aadmi.per. Jai Bajrang Bali. Ye record 10-12 saal pehle.liya tha. 40 saal purana record tha, Peeche cover per chai giri hai our hisaab juda hai, jo India mein bohat common baat hai. Record ander se naya hai. Kai logo ne Hari Om Sharan copy karke gaya per utne famous ny hue, kuch to aisa lagta hai ki mafia our goons gaane baith gaye hai.

Another important thing - when i was a student, people who collect records (specially of foreign artists) were willing to pay Rs 500 to 1000 for europe etc made records but they would not pay even Rs 50 for same record if made in India. I found that they were right because in 90% cases foreign made records used to sound far superior than their India made counterparts. What about Indian Artists and Indian Movies records which were manufactured in India only ? To obatin best sound from them - decent system is needed. First step is to get a decent turntable with decent cartridge (needle). My current turntable (AT LP120) is not a decent turntable but comes with various options. So best i can do is change cartridge with a superior one. So while playing Hanumaanji record, I replaced the cartridge comes with this turntable (Elliptical) with microline. Elliptical costs around $50 (Rs 4 to 5 thound) and microline costs around $350 (Rs 25 to 40 thousand). Good cartridges (Audiophile grade) start from Rs 8 lakh and onwards.
