1960's Old Hindi Songs Vinyl Records
This collection gathers Hindi film soundtrack LPs from the 1960s — the decade when the film song settled into its most elegant form and the long-playing record became the way Indian households heard it. Alongside true sixties titles you will find golden-age soundtracks from the forties and fifties that were pressed and repressed on LP through this period, so the shelf runs deeper than the decade on the label.
Composers and films in this collection
Browse the racks and the great names of the era turn up quickly. Naushad's scores for the Mehboob Khan classics Andaz and Anmol Ghadi — the Dilip Kumar–Raj Kapoor pairing on the former, Noor Jehan's voice on the latter — appear here in their Indian LP editions. Ravi's work is well represented through Bharosa and the 1968 hit Ankhen, while Roshan's Bahu Begum carries the Muslim-social sound at its most refined. Shankar–Jaikishan surface through Beti Bete and the early RK Films favourite Boot Polish, and C. Ramchandra's irrepressible Albela songs remain some of the most danceable sides of the period. Madan Mohan collectors should watch for Man-Mauji. Behind nearly all of it are the voices of Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle and Mukesh.
Why 1960s pressings matter to collectors
Most Hindi film LPs of this era were pressed by The Gramophone Company of India on the HMV and Odeon imprints, largely out of the Dum Dum plant in Calcutta. These pressings are prized for their warm, full-bodied mono and early stereo cuts, heavy vinyl and distinctive flipback sleeves. Because print runs were modest and records were played hard in Indian homes, clean copies have grown genuinely scarce — which is exactly why collectors worldwide hunt sixties Bollywood on vinyl rather than settling for digital transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these original pressings?
Most LPs in this collection are original Indian pressings on HMV, Odeon and related Gramophone Company of India imprints. Where a record is a later repress or reissue, we say so in the listing. Given the era, expect vintage vinyl with vintage character rather than mint modern reissues.
How much do 1960s Bollywood LPs cost?
Prices vary widely with rarity, demand and condition. A common soundtrack in played condition sits at the affordable end, while scarce titles, first pressings and clean copies with intact original sleeves command significantly more. Each listing shows its own grade and price, so you can judge value directly.
Do you ship 1960s records internationally?
Yes. We ship from India to collectors worldwide, with records packed in rigid mailers designed for vinyl. Sixty-year-old records travel well when packed properly, and we have been sending them to buyers across Europe, the US and Asia for years.
