[I am sorry that there is no split tracks the LP-sides have been converted as one file per side. Unfortunately I do not have the time at the moment to do so but maybe some fortunate extra time in the future will let me finish these chores and then I will replace these files. I am confident you can enjoy these ones in the meantime …]

More Nagaswaram for the needy!  This is an excellent record we did not have here before presented to me by a musician friend whose wonderful collection of rare West African and Moroccan music we shall hear more from when some of the more rare ones appear here on Anthems as time allows. 

He has generously let me go on excursions in his record shelves and this one was an odd out, I used to have a copy of this record myself but that one had vanished sometime over the years. 

There were several other Carnatic LP's but alas, sometimes overlapping tastes means that there are many copies of the same, so unfortunately this one was the only "unique". The rest were mostly african and some of those I am sure will find a good audience here.

You have no idea how happy I am! More Madurai Mani Iyer and most likely 78 rpm's of old stock transferred to vinyl in the early seventies. It does not get so very much better than that!

Just a little while ago some more fruits from the latest excursion in Tamil Nadu by my good friends Costis and Arvind arrived! Since this record is by one of my absolute favourit singers I will post it right away without any delay whatsoever so we can all share this music as soon as possible. I am listening to the first tracks myself as I post this. Thank you both for this wonderful record!
