(OT) @Anil Kumar, can you put up images of your electronic gear(s) and disc/tape/LP collection. It will be a treat to our eyes I hope.

The absence of Vol. 2 of 'Persuasive Percussion' here is interesting since I'm yet to see it in physical format till now. Any idea if it was released in India? No one in my friend circle has seen an Indian pressing of the same, though one of my friend has got a UK pressing with him.

Regards,

Bhaskar

Thanks.
Seems like there is no Indian Pressing for Persuasive Percussion -VOl 2...
Me too, yet to see this one in physical form.

Hi sarith,

I think Anilkumar has posted some photos in the first few pages of this thread. I would like to mention here that, I was one of the privileged person, to witness his collection of LPs and Vintage tube gear by a couple of visits to his house. I am also very proud to say here that he is also a very die hard fan of Ilaiyaraaja like me, and has a very good collection of his LPs, including some very rare ones. :licklips:

I was able to see the pics loaded via Imageshack. The other images are not available anymore I guess.

Murali Sir, Thanks for your words.

True that I have collected a few machines of various era.... but if you want to hear/enjoy the music in its true quality and magic , you have to make a visit to Murali Sir's house. I am just a collector.. but Murali sir is a true audiophile.
I get happy by seeing my "quantity" grows...but at Murali sir's house the "Quality of music" grows and grows... On each successive visit I have witnessed & enjoyed it in person.
Of-course like me a die-hard fan of Shri. Illayaraaja.

Murali Sir,
Request you to post the Picture of your "TUBE WONDER" you could manage to get assembled by collecting bit by bit and part by part , else my bad quality camera may do it the next time I visit you...
Regards,
Anil.

Santy, sent you a PM. Not very easy to find nowadays and even the cost is more now.

Recently I got a 45 RPM EP record with the old Close-up advertisement
sharing the joy with you all

 

[ANILKUMAR]

Another rare one:
An EP released by Govt. of Kerala in 1975 to popularize "National Savings Directorate"'s schemes.
Sung by K.J. Yesudas and Baby Sujatha.
Music by Yesudas himself.
Lyrics : ONV

those days...these songs were played in Panchayat/Village offices and through moving vehicles...

 

[reubensm]

My wild guess is that these advert records were for playback on radio stations or at the cinema, back then.

 

[bhaskarcan]

Excellent posts Anil. These records are really interesting. Otherwise difficult to come by.

Bhaskar
