The first ever Sinhala LP produced in Sri Lanka, first released in 1971. Re-produced in 2018 due to popular demand, with the intention of bringing back the original songs and sounds of the 1960’s & 70’s. Contains original tracks re-mastered using original master tapes preserved since 1969.
Due to the non-availability of a good quality recording on spool tape, this re-production excludes the famous introduction by Vijaya: “Sooriya records proudly present the dynamic new sound of Ceylonese pops on the Sooriya Show”.
A limited edition book, almost a classic, contains of stories of artistes’ lives, their songs, lyrics & notations of songs, copies of photographs, posters & postcards of selected artists.
