I'm an avid Bangla music album collector in this hobby since 2012. Having grown up in the "Underground" era of Bangla band music, I took the initiative to archive and upload album artworks. Till now, I've been recognised and acknowledged by various artists, bands, streaming and label companies for my work on Bangla CD Covers. There's a high chance most artwork you see floating around the internet are scanned by me!

Ohom by The Watson Brothers

The Watson Brothers hailed from the underground scene when members of Cryptic Fate and The Attempted Band (TAB) got together while performing in various concerts. Although both bands played different genres of music, the members took up a different music style by compromising and getting a win-win situation. It worked, rather amazingly. And soon The Watson Brothers gained a huge reputation among the UG scene. The Watson Brothers, consisting of Shakib, Imran, Farhan and the witty Arafat Kazi, released their only release so far "Ohom" in 2003, under the label of G-Series.

Since then, the band is in hiatus as the CF members have moved on to their band, and Arafat Kazi has stayed in the US. The hit song, "Akash" was taken up as the theme of telecom company GrameenPhone's 'Djuice' campaign and was featured (albeit, with different vocals) in Amitabh Reza's TVCs for 'Djuice'.

    খুবই অসাধারণ একটা সাইট। অসাধারণ একটা কাজ করতেছে। আমি গানগুলো সিডি থেকে রিপ বা ডাউনলোড ( অনেক পুরানো সিডিই খুঁজে পাই না। ভাগ্যভাল কয়েকটা রিপ্রিন্ট হচ্ছে যেমন রকস্ট্রাটা ) করার পর চেষ্টা করি IDv3 ট্যাগে অ্যালবামের সব ইনফর্মেশন রাখতে। অ্যালবাম কভার খুঁজে পাওয়া যে কি কঠিন একটা কাজ! বেশির ভাগ সময়ই হতাশ হইতে হয়। সার্চ করে যাও পাওয়া যায় লো রেজুলেশন। এখন এই সাইট "One Stop Solution"। এটা আরও সমৃদ্ধ হবে আশাকরি।

    XTR বিশাল বিশাল বিশাল ধন্যবাদ।

A Few Words

Welcome to Bangla CD Covers. I'm on a quest to collect Artwork of CDs that are no longer in print. Here is a table to let you know what I already have here - * Coloured fields are the things I currently don't have, mainly because those are paperbacks and not the usual Jewel Case version that are known to exist and I haven't come across yet. * N/A depicts 'Not Applicable', meaning they haven't been made even in Jewel Case versions.

Paper Rhyme by Paper Rhyme

"Paper Rhyme" is the debut self-titled album by popular Bangladeshi '90s pop-rock band Paper Rhyme . It was released in 1996 from Soundtek in cassette format. Nearing the millennium, it received a CD release on "Silver Disc". Paper Rhyme was a band that formed in 1992, with the lineup of: Ahmed Saad , Nasser Haque , Rashed Iqbal , Aninda Kabir Avik and Schumann Zaman . Rashed and Nasser were part of popular pop-rock trio "Masrur-Rashed-Nasser" , with two albums called Lesson-1 and Lesson-2 . The band produced only one album and then "disappeared" as they like to say it after '96, but actually the band members went their different ways in life. They were in hiatus until in 2017, when they reunited (with the absence of Rashed Iqbal) for one last studio performance in a '90s bands compilation album called "Abar" , with the song, "Darao Bondhu" . Paper Rhyme's biggest hit to this day is the song called "On...
