Rare Shivkumar Sharma 1967 'Shivkumar Sharma'

Here is a very rare LP - Shivkumar Sharma's first from 1967. I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this in my local store for $30. It's still in pretty good shape, but there is wear, lots of crackles and surface noise. This was released as a special edition on CD by Saregama, however the CD is not so easy to get a hold of and I don't know the quality. There is a fairly good digital version of side A on Saregama as part of 'Shivkumar Sharma's Complete Works' (IF you can find it - many of the names aren't labelled adequately, aren't in order and don't refer to the original release album...).

Label: His Master's Voice ‎– ECLP 2346

Tracks:
A1 - Raga Lalit (Gat in Jhaptal &Teental)
A2 - Dhun in Bhairavi (Keherwa)
B1 - Raga Kalawati (Gat in Teental)
B2 - Dhun in Pahadi


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.
