Here we post another LP from the "mysterious" Pakistani label Oscar Records/Asghar Records, based in New York. For more details and other releases from this label see our post of an LP by Salamat Hussain.
About the musician I don't know anything. There are some additional recordings on the excellent Sarangi site: https://sarangi.info//?s=Wahid+Hussain&search=Go.
Addition on 9th of december 2017:
As already a couple of times, Dr. Kashyap, the Sarangi expert and player,
student of Ustad Sultan Khan, helped us out for some very valuable pieces of
information on the musician and also a photo:
"Here is info about U. Wahid Hussain with kind permission of my friend Mr.
Ali Zafar from Lahore. His photo is also there.
Wahid Hussain born in 1927 in Moradabad, became the disciple of sarangi
player Ustad Tajammul Hussain Khan. Following Partition, he settled in Karachi
where he worked at Radio Karachi as a staff artiste. Radio Pakistan provided the
maestro with ample opportunities to perform with vocalists of the stature of
Roshan Ara Begum, Ustad Amanat Ali Khan - Ustad Fateh Ali Khan, Ustad Nazakat
Ali Khan - Ustad Salamat Ali Khan, Farida Khanum, Taj Multani and Mehdi Hassan.
He was in particular the regular accompanist to Farida Khanum during her
performances in Karachi. Wahid Hussain Khan also made his mark as a composer and
poet. Ghazal singer Azra Riaz is amongst his most prominent disciples. Wahid
Hussain Khan passed away in Karachi in 2004. (Received his profile from Mr Riaz
Burney in October 2007. Interview of his son Zaheer Hussain by Ali Zafar,
October 2009, Karachi.)"
