6 songs in duet with Alfian, in 1970 already a long time established artist.
"Mau Kondengan" has a Jakarta flavor,
"Bulan Madu Indah" has Chinese or Japanese roots.
"Si Dia" is a cover version from the song "Help Yourself" by Tom Jones.
"Ciuman Terakhir" sounds a little familiar, but cannot trace it now.
"Rada Rada Kumat" is in the Melayu way.
The producers found a male companion to sing duets with her, maybe because of the great popularity of Titiek Sandhora and Muchsin who made record after record in that year. ( 1970 )

"Tak Berputus Asa" - Hope is not gone - Composition by Ireng Maulana, one of the members of the Eka Sapta Band. Later on he became a Jazz musician.
"Kain Bugih" - A piece of cloth from the Bugis ? - Its in Minang language
"Pelipur Lara" She likes to sing, for comforting the painful heart. This kind of songs I like to hear, Ernie Djohan and the band are at their best in this kind of songs.
"Bukan Yang Dulu" - Not like before - Rather sad, but not depressing.
"Si Gendut" - The fat one - That is one of the "I know someone who...." songs. It is done with Jakarta words and accent.
"Terunaku" - My grown up ( ? ) She could go right to Nashville with this song, it sounds like it is created there.
Compliments to "Oom Jasir" ( Uncle Jasir )
"Hanya Untukmu Sayang" - Only for you, dear -
"Lebaran Anak Muda" - The Islamic New year, end of the fast period - The music is made oriental in this song so it suits with the content.
"Terimalah Kasihku" - Accept my gratefulness -
"Saat Kau Pergi" - The moment you went away - Riyanto did mostly the slower songs. I think he was at his best when he composed for Tetty Kadi.
"Deritaku" - My suffering -.
" Seperti Hujan Saja " - Like rain - The rain is falling and falling it lasts a long time. A long time also she's waiting for him. The melody is like children shouting names insults at each other.

This record must be the seventh by Titiek Sandhora and dating from 1969.
Quite a mixed content regarding the genres:
"Walang Kekek" is Javanese and composed by one of the grandfathers of Indonesian music: Gesang Martoharono
"Untuk Sayanku" is a cover version of "Dear John"
"Sakura No Hana" originates from Japan.
"Cincin Pengikat" is categorized belonging to Mandarin Genre originally: "Hen Ni Ru Gu"
"Pertemuan Sekejap" could be of Chinese or Japanese origins.
"Jangan Sembarang Colek" funny lyrics and composed by Zakarya, who wrote songs in Melayu style.
"Ku Tak Sudi" has until now ignored a little by Mazef, but today, when uploading, he discovered that in fact its quite o.k. in voice, slightly lower than usual, the orchestration is also fine.
In the song "Berat Budi Jasa" she uses various vocal techniques in order to make this song emotional.

Apa Yang Kau Inginkan - ( Lyrics - Arnys )                         
Dibalik Tirai Penjara - ( Hamiedan )             

The third LP album of this young singer and in my opinion the better one.
"Surat Surat Anda" ( Your Letters ) she gently thanks for the letters she's got from her audience.
"Puk Ami Ami" = originally "I'm going back to Indiana" by the Jackson Five, 1971
"Harapan Yang Suci" ( hope that's pure )
"Jangan Coba Coba" ( Don't try ) = originally "In the summertime, by Mungo Jerry, 1970
"Bila Kau Datang" ( When you come ) nice song.
"Dikala Mabuk Cinta" ( When drunk of love )
"Bunga Yang Indah" ( Beautiful Flower ) The song originates from Japan, original title unknown.
"Peluklah Daku" ( Embrace me )
"Ku Terkenang Selalu" ( I always remember )
"Buto Galak" This is a nice Javanese Oldie, the Band also is playing in a gamelan-like way, emphazing the regional origin of the song.
"Apa Yang Kau Inginkan" ( All you want ) The song is from sowhere else, but its origins are unknown at this moment.
"Dibalik Tirai Penjara" ( Behind the prisonbars ) a sad song.

Katineung Ati - ( Megi Z.)                         
Jali Jali                         
Katresna - ( Nus S. )    

In the year 1973 and thereafter little effort was made by Remaco to design
artistic covers. Just a photo of the artist, front and back of the record covers
are the same.
Musical Genre: Sunda-Melayu.
"Hideung Santen" is the Sundanese version of "Hitam manis"
The songs "Gembala" and "Katresna" are more closer to the Sundanese style,
while "Dibuat" is closest to the Melayu style
At the first strokes of the song "Katineung Ati" the band is suddenly sounding orchestral
"Jali Jali" is from Jakarta. Her original version ( on another record ) is better.
The singer Nanang Qosim, also on this record with his mellow voice.
