Shivkumar Sharma, Zakir Hussain 1979 'Kirwani'

Here is a 1979 Indian release of Shivkumar Sharma and Zakir Hussain. I think there are digital versions floating around... the one I found was really bad. The LP I have is in very good condition, however the recording quality is not the best, noting it is live and can hear some audience noise too. Still enjoyable though!

Label: The Gramophone Company Of India Ltd. ‎– ECSD 2830

Tracks:
A - Raga Kirwani (Alap, Jor, Jhala)
B - Raga Kirwani (Gat in Teental)


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 FLAC, and then separately edited with: Clickrepair (low settings) then slight reduction on surface noise + normalised to -1.5db in Audacity and exported as FLAC and MP3 320kbps.
