This is from an e-mail sent to me by Preeti Ranjan Panda describing his latest acquisitions. It contains a very helpful list of cassettes brought out by HMV and other companies. It describes the various combinations of films which are available on cassets and other related trivia... Sami ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HMV seems to have added a lot more 'Rare Gems' and 'Anmol Rattan' series to its repertoire. I bought quite a few 'Rare Gems' tapes (All 2 volume.) I didn't see too many additions to the 'Golden Collection' series. (Probably doesn't make much sense, now that they are releasing so many 10-volume 'Anmol Rattan' collections.) I found 'Anmol Rattan' series for Hemant/Manna/ Asha/Rafi-Lata duets/hazaar others...(I think 20 vols are devoted to Lata solos :-) but picked only one (due to lack of space.) 'Rare Gems' are definitely worth buying - chances of duplication are thin (at least for me it was that way.) I found a 4-vol collection titled 'Greatest Hits from 1932 to 1942' which was nice, but unfortunately I had about 1/3 of the songs so didn't buy.
