Rare Shivkumar Sharma, Zakir Hussain 1982 '...When Time Stood Still!'

Hi friends. Here is another treat from Shivkumar Sharma, this is a hard to find double LP from a live performance in Bombay 1981. The quality is very good. I know half of this recording is available in digital format on Saregama's site as part of Shivkumar Sharma 'the Complete Works'... But here is the full thing! The back cover and inner gatefold pics aren't so great because they are super reflective... I've only edited the front picture to get the reflections away. What a great opportunity it is to have an extended recording of one Raga!

Label: EMI S/EMGE 12508/9

Tracks:
A - Kaunsi Kanhra (Alap, Jod)
B - Kaunsi Kanhra (Jod, Jhala, Gat in Roopak)
C - Kaunsi Kanhra (Gat in Madhyalaya & Drut Tritaal)
D - Mishra Kafi Dhun and Ragamala


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.

  2. As a small gesture of thanks, I cleaned up the rear cover. Here is a link (that one will need to cut and paste)
