Ali Akbar Khan 1964 'The Classical Music of India'
[Re-post and Re-transfer with FLACs]
This vinyl was released in the US in 1964 as a Mono and a Stereo version and re-released in 1972. There was also a CD released of the Stereo version in Europe, which is almost impossible to find. I have a copy - quality isn't much better but it's louder with more bass in the tabla. Some mono versions also exist on some other CD's such as 'The Emperor of Melody'. However, they sound a bit flat. Here is the 1964 Stereo digitised version that I acquired in January 2018. There was also an Indian pressing from earlier than 1964 with Ali Akbar Khan sitting on the floor.
Label: Prestige – PRST 1079
Tracks:
A - Raga Lajwanti 13:47
B - Raga Todi 13:45
