Ali Akbar Khan 1965 'Raga Miyan Ki Todi, Raga Zilla-Kafi'

Here is a 1965 pressing of Ali Akbar Khan. Like the other LPs released around this time, the recording isn't great... The quieter sounds seems to cut off like a bad filter. I have heard the digital version on Saregama, but like usual, the LP sounds much better. The vinyl looks new, so maybe the original recording and/or the pressings weren't manufactured well. But still definitely worth a listen! I love this cover art as well.

Label: His Master's Voice ‎– EASD 1290

Tracks:
A - Raga Miyan Ki Todi
B - Raga Zilla-Kafi


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.

  1. Thanks for sharing this album Kirrin. This is one of Ustadji's more expensive Vinyls for some reason.
