Ik Tara (Punjabi: ਇਕ ਤਾਰਾ), also spelled as Iktara or sometimes Ektara', was the first LP record of Kuldeep Manak released by HMV in 1976.[1][2] It was released after about one year of recording as the record manager of HMV, Zaheer Ahmad, delayed[3] its release as he was frightened the record would not do well in the market.
