PS. At song no 54 is "Loken Uthum Rata Lankawai" the song that was made a 'must sing' at all schools in the mid 1960's by the then education minister I.M.R.A Iriyagolla. Lots of Rukmani Devi originals too.

At song 98 is "Ragum, Vayum Gayum" an English/Sinhala bilingual song which I also heard for the first time.
