This strange collection assembled by Cherry Red's El Records
imprint is an aural representation of the career of India's
international film superstar Selar Shaik Sabu, who got his first
break in 1937 when he was 12. Sabu was plucked out of the street
literally to star in an Alexander Korla production of The Thief of
Baghdad, and two years later in the first screen version of Rudyard
Kipling's The Jungle Book. The third film represented here was
Black Narcissus, released in 1947 as Sabu's brief tenure at the top
was already winding down. He played minor characters for the rest
of his life. The music here is all schlock, with some decent but
completely incidental narration by Sabu. This is the kind of stuff
film and soundtrack collectors go crazy for but everyone else
ignores, for good reason. The music is awful and overblown and
recorded badly. It doesn't even hold the listener's interest on an
exotica level. Avoid. ~ Thom Jurek
