This vinyl was released in the US in 1964 as a Mono and a Stereo version. I'm not aware of any remastered versions or re-releases. Another digitised copy of this LP was also posted on 'oriental-traditional-music.blogspot.com.au', however that file also has a bit of surface noise. Overall a lovely performance by Ali Akbar Khan (as always) with some lovely call-response or 'imitation' between the sarod and tabla towards the last halves of both sides.

Many thanks for a great post,good rip too. So much "atmosphere" in these performances. I think the stars were aligned in a special way in the 1960's so much incredible music was made in this decade in all styles of music. Thanks again Kirrin for all these great album transfers.
