"The Soul of Bobby" is an extremely rare vinyl record of the year 1973. The movie "BOBBY" was released under the banner of R.K. Films and the movie was a grand success at the box office that took the nation by storm. One of a kind, teenage love story with the audience-shocking skimpy outfits of Dimple Kapadia and a boyish faced Rishi Kapoor. An absolute unique presentation from the house of Raj Kapoor. His passion for his films, his film's music and everything related can be minutely seen in this movie.
The music composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal did a wonderful job by fusing world music into the Indianized genre. The proof is the movie soundtrack.
The most interesting part; the movie's background score. The music composer duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal did an exceptionally wonderful job on the movie's background score. Raj Kapoor was such a great connoisseur of music that he decided to release a whole separate record that carried only the background score. This idea was materialized into "THE SOUL OF BOBBY".

Only limited copies of this record were pressed making it a real rare find. The ones who spent those extra few bucks buying it are truly delirious today. I was lucky enough to find a copy for myself which I ripped, re-mastered and cleaned sonically for the listening pleasure of everybody. I also made a little YouTube montage just to give a little glimpse of the beauty of this music which you can find posted below. Indeed a great piece of art ! Try to get your hands on this one, you will never part with it. Enjoy some great music from the house of Raj Kapoor.
