It was the last 78 rpm record set issued for non-film songs in Sri Lanka. These songs were released on the Exvee label as a double set of 78 rpm records in 1969 and gave Mallawarachchi his first popular hit with "Oruwaka Pawena". Kurera offered to record four songs with the young vocalist: "Oruwaka Pawena", "Ran Kooduwak Oba Sadu", "Sansare Sewanalle" and "Mangale Neth Mangale". Mallawarachchi's vocals on the latter group's "Daha Duke Vidyahala" and "Mal Ravamal" led to his discovery by producer Patrick Corea. He was a member of a short-lived group called the Sakyans and subsequently the La Ceylonians. Mallawarachchi completed his early education at Ananda Sastralaya, Kotte.
