Yaadon Ki Manzil was a series of albums having selected songs from Hindi movies.
These are generally not the songs that made or stayed at number one on the charts in their times, but most of these have something very peculiar about them. One thing is for sure - each one of these is super melodious!
These are the songs I grew up with.
I'm putting together in these playlists whichever songs from the series I've been able to lay my hands on. Hope you like these!

This song comes in two very interesting variants. The first one given above starts abruptly in the movie when Feroz Khan happily starts the transistor (radio) given to him by his elder brother. Aaha! The golden days - when a gifted radio could spark such a joy as is shown in the movie! Well, Feroz khan starts the radio and the song starts with some part of the beginning cut off. Makes sense, and this was the beauty of radio. You never knew what you were gonna get when you turned it on. Well, the song continues, and just whenever Lata comes back to the face of the song, Feroz Khan hums it with her - actually sung by Mahendra Kapoor. Mahendra Kapoor sings the face solo at the end of the song as well without any supporting music. Subhanallah!
For more than two decades, this was the version I listened to, always wondering how the song must have really started.
And then I got hold of the other version - the one without Mahendra Kapoor's voice, but having the proper start. Both formats are simply lovable! Kudos to the masters - each and every one of the artists behind this song. Both the versions are provided above.
May I ask you a question - if you were allowed to listen to only of these, which one would you choose? Answer in comments. - Humsafar Mere Humsafar (Purnima) 1965 Mukesh & Lata Mangeshkar
- Caravan Guzar Gaya (Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal) 1965 Mohd. Rafi
