R.D. BURMAN Hare Rama Hare Krishna (Odeon EMOE 2104) RARE India 1st Press Bollywood EX++
RARE original Indian first pressing of the R.D. Burman EP film soundtrack "Hare Rama Hare Krishna" on Odeon Records (June 1971). 
"The movie dealt with the decadence of the Hippie culture. It aimed to have an anti-drug message and also depicts some problems associated with Westernization such as divorce. (...) The story for Hare Rama Hare Krishna actually came to Dev Anand's mind when he saw hippies and their fallen values in Kathmandu, Nepal.(...)
The music of the film was composed by Rahul Dev Burman and the lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi. The songs "Dum Maro Dum" and “Hare Rama Hare Krishna” were instant hits with the youth even as “Kanchi Re Kanchi”, “Dekho O Diwano” and “Phoolon Ka Taron Ka” showed the versatility of composer R.D. Burman." - From the wikipedia entry on "Hare Rama Hare Krishna".
