'''''Old Goan Gold''''' is a music album by [[Remo Fernandes]] and released in 1985. It consists of songs in [[Konkani language|Konkani]] and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]. [[Alisha Chinai]] has also performed in the album.

The album, which was released on Remo's own record label, Goana Records, contains songs which Remo had grown up listening to on the radio and in his father's record collection; nostalgic songs which he could not find in record shops anymore. It was initially released on audio cassettes, with side A in Konkani, and side B in Portuguese.<ref name="goanvoice">[http://www.goanvoice.org.uk/supplement/RemoFernandes.html Goan Voice UK: supplement on Remo Fernandes]</ref>

The album comprises traditional songs together with four originals, three in Konkani, and one in Portuguese. The original songs are: : the [[mando (music)|mando]] ''Panch Vorsam'' (sung by Alisha & Remo and composed by Remo for [[Shyam Benegal]]'s film ''[[Trikaal]]''), ''Soiri'', ''Konkani'' (a theme song for the [[Konkani language agitation|Konkani movement of 1985]]), and ''Fado Goa''.<ref name="goanvoice" /> ''Soiri'' was originally a poem written by Dr. [[Manohar Rai Sardesai]], set to music by Remo.

Old Goan Gold was recorded during the [[monsoons]] and released during the Christmas season of 1985. It was the first Goan album to be released in Japan, by Meta Records, Tokyo.<ref>[http://www.remomusic.com/remo-albums.htm Remo Fernandes :: The Albums - Part 2]</ref> Remo recorded the songs on a four-track cassette [[Portastudio]] recorder in his home. In this album, Remo played all the instruments, sang all voices (except the tracks with Alisha), and was the only composer of its music and lyrics. He engineered the recording and mixing and designed the album covers.<ref>[http://www.goa-world.com/goa/music/remo.htm GOA WORLD - Music - Remo Fernandes]</ref>
