{"product_id":"asha-puthli-the-essential-lp","title":"Asha Puthli - The Essential (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can't think of many other performers like the singer\/songwriter\/dancer\/actress Asha Puthli who have excelled in such a broad range of genres. From 60s psych, Classical Indian music, Free Jazz, Pop, Soul, Disco, to Rock, the list goes on. A 'best-of' or an 'essential collection' is always going to be a subjective thing, but for what is unbelievably the first official compilation covering the full breadth of Asha's illustrious career, we aimed to provide a snapshot into her ever-evolving musical journey and a tribute to the vast richness of her catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome singers want to be famous, others are pop star icons, and some are artists; Asha is the latter. Asha is a true force of nature, regardless of the genre she explores, she fully commits, moves on, and reinvents herself, always progressing. Looking back on Asha's career, it is evident what a trail-blazer she was, opening doors for her contemporaries and those who came later to step through. Whether it was conscious or not, you can recognise Asha's influence in aspects of Kate Bush's ethereal image and performance, in Donna Summer's high-smooth vocal sound and disco stylings, and in the gumption and power of Grace Jones.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSide One\u003cbr\u003e1 Asha Puthli \u0026amp; the Savages - Pain\u003cbr\u003e2 Asha Puthli \u0026amp; the Surfers - Sound of Silence\u003cbr\u003e3 Asha Puthli \u0026amp; the Surfers - Sunny\u003cbr\u003e4 Asha Puthli \u0026amp; the Surfers - Fever\u003cbr\u003e5 Ornette Coleman - What Reason Could I Give\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Two\u003cbr\u003e1 Ornette Coleman - All My Life\u003cbr\u003e2 Charlie Mariano - Mirror\u003cbr\u003e3 Right Down Here\u003cbr\u003e4 Lies\u003cbr\u003e5 Devil Is Loose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Three\u003cbr\u003e1 Space Talk\u003cbr\u003e2 One Night Affair\u003cbr\u003e3 I'm Gonne Dance\u003cbr\u003e4 Music Machine (Dedication to Studio 54)\u003cbr\u003e5 Peek-A-Boo Boogie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Four\u003cbr\u003e1 Mister Moonlight\u003cbr\u003e2 Prism of the Sun (Song for Dieter)\u003cbr\u003e3 1001 Nights of Love (Reprise)\u003cbr\u003e4 We're Gonna Bury the Rock with the Roll Tonight\u003cbr\u003e5 Chipko Chipko\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44166497140870,"sku":"MRBG2260.1","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/2959\/9806\/files\/asha-puthli-essential-01.jpg?v=1784306146","url":"https:\/\/www.parasolrecords.com\/products\/asha-puthli-the-essential-lp","provider":"Parasol Mail Order","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
