Hindi film music on vinyl spans seven decades of extraordinary artistry. From the HMV recordings of the 1940s to the lush orchestrations of 1970s Bollywood, these records document a golden age of Indian popular music that is impossible to replicate. Our pre-owned Hindi vinyl is individually cleaned, graded and photographed.
What is an HMV black-label pressing?
HMV (His Master's Voice) India pressed early records under a black label in the 1950s–1970s. These are generally the first pressings of classic Bollywood soundtracks and are highly prized by collectors.
How do you grade pre-owned Hindi records?
Each record is graded visually and by playback. We use the Goldmine standard (M / NM / VG+ / VG / G+) and include actual photos of the disc and sleeve in the listing.

Yes — in addition to standard 33⅓ LP records, we stock 45 RPM EPs and, occasionally, 78 RPM shellac discs from the early HMV era.
