Harshi's stream of consciousness
 
Picture

Kalyanji-Anandji were better known as the Funk brothers of India. Having a completely different approach in music direction, they composed some of the best Spy music/Funk scores during the 1970s and 1980s for Hindi Cinema. They were heavily influenced by Lalo Schifrin. Here's an example of Sleaze Funk from the movie Bombay 405 Miles. The single was published on a rare 45 with Side-B containing a really funky groove or I must say Turkish Funk groove from around 1979-80 by an artist called Baris Manckow. Never heard of that guy before. However, the track seems to be really rare since I did not find much information on Google. Also, the artist seems to be gone from people's minds too. No info on him either. Here we are, with my very first vinyl rip. 
Currently I am using Audacity and Sony Sound Forge to rip and edit the records. If you have any suggestions regarding the quality of the sound or anything related, please let me know. I am still learning. Thanks!

Another triumph!

Actually came across Bombay 405 awhile back on "Music From the 3rd Floor" I believe. Nothing beats Kalyanji-Anandji in prime form!

As for your Turkish song, I'm relatively certain the artist in question is actually Bariş Manço. He looms quite large in the pantheon of Anatolian Rock.

I'm far from an expert, but I'd wager the track in question is a later era re-recording of Vur Ha Vur from his classic 2023 LP from 1975. Actually the vocal take sounds pretty much the same, so maybe just the instrumentation was recut?
