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.
