Hi reubensm,

Anilkumar has mentioned that he will search from his own collection at Trivandrum, which he has shifted from chennai. From his PM I presume that he is relocating to Trivandrum from Chennai.

:ohyeah: guess you're right!!

As far as I know, not too many places in Trivandrum where one can find records.

Reuben,
Murali is right.
I have already relocated most of my collections to a flat in TVM last month.
In Chennai I have few hundred records (yet to be relocated) and few other TTs and a GEC radiogram marked for sale.

regards,
Anil

Hi anil,

If you come across Osibisa album that has "Dance the body Music" & " Coffee song" grab it, the recording is Audiophile , made at Abbey Road Studio in 1973 the same place and year as "Dark Side of the moon".

Pl let me know if you have the album "Disco Gold" by Biddu, released by EPIC or Warwick Records, I am hunting for it unsuccessfully.:licklips:

Dear Murali,
Today, I browsed through 2000 odd old English tapes and could not find the Disco gold yet. I remember having it. A dazzling black and golden cover with a ivory colored hard rubber plastic tape. In early 80's my father got this tape from someone who came from Dubai. Hmmmmm.. Will continue the search....May get it some time. Will let you know.
However, the search helped me to unearth many old Beatles and few other rare English tapes....Thanks to you.
Regards,
Anil.

Arun,
Thanks and welcome.
I am still holding the Radiogram as often friends are visiting to see and hear it. Hence became little reluctant to sell it. But I will be forced to do so as I have already got a state of Art GRUNDING Radiogram and in process of shifting my base out of Chennai.
Once I change my mind again to sell it, will let you know.

The original configuration was:
1. a Garrard Model 50 Changer with Original Turntable paper and cartridge. Still looks almost new.
2. A Philips Tube Radio working as a Radio as well as a AMP.

In addition to it:
I added a Philips Tube controlled SPOOL tape I was having to make the setup more complete for recording purpose.

You are most welcome to visit me and to have a look at the collection.
If you have some time this Sunday, please do visit me. I am in Chennai now.
Tomorrow I will be home after 6:00 PM.

Will send you a Private Message with my Phone#. [Just enable it in your Profile. Current you donot have it]
Reg Thorens sound box : It is difficult to get. But I will give you a contact number in a PM. You can put a word with him....wait to become lucky....
Regards,
Anil.
