Just added the 1965 Indonesian (Irama) LP by Oslan Husein with Orkes Widjaja Kusuma led by M. Jusuf who also composed all eleven out of the twelve songs including the festive hit "Lebaran" - A song famously revived by the likes of Effa Rizan, Sharifah Aini, Aishah, Elfa Secoria's Singers, the band GIGI throughout the years. The title on the front cover printed "Hanja Ada Satu....." but at the back and on the vinyl labels, it was indicated that the actual title of this album was "Tahu Tempe" - One of many food-related tracks on this album which is also filed under "Ramadan & Syawal Special" for having the "Lebaran" song. The images for the front, back, and vinyl labels were kindly contributed by Hadi Rahmat Wahid from Singapore.  Just added a 1988 Hari Raya compilation of new songs from EMI - "Varia Pop Aidilfitri", which according to a blogger and archiver, one of the only two Hari Raya compilations that is not (yet) released on CD - the other one being the classic "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri" compilation of 1973 (It should be noted however that all songs from that LP has been 'CD-fied" in several different compilations separately). This one, gave us the first time that we heard the now staples radio plays from Sheila Majid (Hari Mulia), Sudirman (Selamat Hari Raya) and Rahimah Rahim (Selamat Berhari Raya). Two years later in 1990, it was reissued by EMI with a different package and title "Salam Aidilfitri". Produced and arranged by S. Atan. Filed under Various - Ramadan & Syawal Specials.  Just added a 1979 LP by Faridah (Faridah M. Amin), formerly lead vocalist for the pop nasyid group "Al Mizan". Produced by Kamali Hudi "Diam-Diam Jatuh Hati" is a move to streamline pop with still some spiritual messages and a couple of Hari Raya songs thrown in. Hence, also filed under the "Hari Raya" category.
