Nikhil Banerjee ‎1967 'Raga Malkauns, Raga Hem-Lalit'

This is Pandit Banerjee's second LP from 1967, released in India. It was later released in the US in 1969 and then on cassette apparently in 1990... What strikes me first is the beauty of the original cover art. If only there were more like it! On top of that another great recording of Pandit ji.

Label: His Master's Voice - EASD 1318 (India 1967) & Capitol Records - ST-10502 (US 1969)

Tracks:
A - Raga Malkauns 20:00
B1 - Raga Hem Lalit (First Part) 14:53
B2 - Raga Hem Lalit (Second Part: Baul) 5:02

Digitised with: Project Essential II Turntable, Ortofon Red Stylus, recorded as WAV 16/48 in Audacity and saved unaltered (apart from track separation/info tags) as WAV 16/48, and then separately edited with: Clickrepair (low setting) then slight reduction on surface noise + normalised to -2.0db in Audacity and exported as WAV 16/48 and MP3 320kbps.

    Many many thanks. I've got low quality digitals of some of the tracks from both albums. Finally i can ditch them and access full quality sound. Nikhil Banerjee is in my very humble the greatest of the great. Your generosity is appreciated.
