Rare Amjad Ali Khan 1968 'Music Of The Monsoon'

[Re-post and New Transfer - better cleaned version + FLACs]

Here is another rare LP released in India in 1968. I'm pretty sure this recording was never commercially digitised or re-released. I was fortunate to find a clean copy in great condition.. much worth it - despite costing a lot of money! These LPs only pop up sporadically and I have to be lucky to find them in good condition.

About the raga: "One of the most popular rag-s of the malhar family, Miyan ki malhar or Miya malhar is supposedly a creation of the legendary Miyan Tansen and patronised by the great Emperor Akbar. Many interesting anecdotes are woven around this rag because of its association with the rainy season, and the texts of vocal compositions include descriptions of rain, thunder, clouds and lightning..."
