There are several, if you're willing to go for cassettes the number probably approachs a hundred or so. Check your local Indian stores (though you may have to hunt since some stores specialize in regions).

Bollywood stuff is kind of hard to classify, I believe.
I don't think fans of the stuff think in terms of titles
of tapes - the stuff I've seen is usually a mixture of "hits".
Occasionally Bollywood tapes turn up on ebay - IME
the sixties and seventies stuff is far better. I
had a harder time finding a dealer on the web (except
those in India).
The best place to look is in little shops in Indian
neighborhoods.
There is an excellent CD called "Doob Doob A Rama"
that has lots of Asha Bhosle on it. I think it's
on Motel Records.

Most of the Indian tapes/CDs (as opposed to British-made comps) tend to be stuff you see once or twice and then never again. Or maybe I just don't hit enough stores. In any case, the tapes are generally about two bucks and the Indian stores (at least in my area) sell CDs at three for $20. They're all pretty cheaply made and don't expect any liner notes but it's certainly inexpensive enough to experiment a little.

I like the UL series. And the cool packaging. The pictures and the hard to
understand notes. The Organs in Orbit was my first CD too Tiki. I was
visiting relatives in NY and went to the Village to check out the Blue
Note. There is a used CD shop across the street and that's where I picked
it up.
Ironic that I pick up my first lounge CD within sight of one of Jazz'es
most hallowed sites.
Nobody mentioned the "Wild Cool and Swingin'" CD's of the series that I
consider the best.. I don't have Bongoland or the Bossanovaville
ones....yet.They look great. I'm a BIG fan of the bossa nova.. how does it
rate with those with similar tastes?
Oh. I generally like comps..The problem with getting too many of them is
you end up with multiple versions of the same songs on a lot of them.....I
almost picked up the Rhino

I, too, like some of the comps. I just go by the songs, if I think I'll like them I buy it. I liked Mondo exotica. But I like the Martin Denny ones better.

I so agree with you. I got introduced to "lounge" through comps. even though I always loved it...never could remember who did what song, etc. I am a newbi, but have been a fan of exotica for years, finally stumbled on to this site via the Retro Cocktail Hour. Darrell
Brogdon does a great job on his radio show, plus has playlists up, etc. So I finally got to see who did what. I still like comps, but it has led me to find the "good stuff".
By the way...anybody a big fan of Bobby Darin...didn't care for his rock and roll stuff....but his pop/lounge stuff is great!

Just a thought: Wouldn't it truly be in the spirit of this list to wear fake
Hawaiian shirts? I've got one from '76 that has Schlitz cans plottzed all
over it. Truly garish with the super wide collar and every color in the
universe...Too bad it doesn't fit me that well (too damned muscular of course
and its a 'M'). But I'm having a yard sale Saturday and will try to get $35
for it. Wish me luck....JB

GARLAND, JUDY "Speaks! (Celebrities at Their Worst, Volume 2.5)" (Mad
Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God) 2cd 14.98
Volume "2.5" of the series that shows what stars past and present say
when the cameras and tape recorders *aren't* supposed to be rolling. This
double disc set features just Judy Garland in all her drunken pillpopping
glory, much of it purportedly from never-released home recordings she made
for her autobiography.
"I'm an angry lady: I'm a lady who is angry. I've been insulted,
slandered, humiliated -- but still 'America's Sweetheart.' Now I'm rather
intelligent, I think, and I'm emotional -- YEAH -- I'm a woman; I'm
emotional... I wanted to believe, and I tried my damndest to believe in the
rainbow that I tried to get over and I COULDN'T... I've sung, I've
entertained, I've pleased your children, I've pleased your wives, I've
pleased YOU -- you SONS OF BITCHES! Now you better write it, YOU BETTER PAY
FOR IT, OR DON'T LISTEN AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!"
HOAHIO "Happy Mail" (Amoebic) cd 15.98
Totally great debut recording by this all-female Japanese electronic
avant-pop trio featuring sampler player Sachiko M. (ISO, Ground Zero), koto
player Yagi Michiyo (who has a solo disc on Tzadik), and vocalist Haco
(After Dinner, Acid Mothers Temple), who also contributes theremin, guitar,
tapes, effects, and handclaps. This group also has an upcoming release on
Tzadik (May 23rd) which we eagerly await. (This release isn't all that new,
but we hadn't stocked it before...)
ITO, TEIJI "Meshes: Music for Films and Theater"
(What Next Recordings) cd 15.98
Three interesting pieces composed by Teiji Ito, most notably his score
for Maya Deren's seminal avant garde film "Meshes of the Afternoon", made
in 1943 as a silent film and only graced with sound in 1959 after Deren had
met Ito (they later married). I first saw the film ten years ago in school
and everyone wanted the music -- thank goodness someone finally put out the
soundtrack! Using flute, guitar, cello, Japanese mouth organ, koto, bells,
drums, wooden xylophone, didjeridu, Indonesian bronze metallophone,
shakers, kazoos, and duck calls, Ito conjures up an extremely evocative
sonic world. Also contains his soundtrack to Deren's "The Very Eye of
Night" and a theater work called "Savages". None of that trendy
