Group order for Vinyl of best of AR Rehman

Lots of members do not visit forum very frequently and since this thread has recently became popular I suggest to extend the deadline couple of days. Spread the news about this and join first public demand vinyl launch. :)
 
Soon we should start the modality of organizing the funds to a kitty. Trust gives success in any project. Senior FMs kindly come forward with your suggestions and the principles.

would like to add, i d love it if one of us or few of us in group design the cover. instead of featuring arr it should rather focus on highlighting the forum name too. having a hanging in the space type handles of the first commissioning fms in rear or in inside jacket would be awesome.

I have updated your count and details. Please check and confirm.

Also, great suggestion on getting commissioning FMs handles. We can use a word cloud to generate the font size based on the count of LPs picked by an FM.
 
Hello Arj & Prem

I have put in my name for one copy. i didnt see any option to save it so can you please see if my order has been successfully added, thanks for this wonderful initiative.

Hello Again Arj & Prem

Tried to get a few of my friends to buy, they asked me if the masters of the songs chosen for this lp are analog masters.Please can you enlighten me on this so i can tell them accordingly. Thanks
Rohit
 
These are all digital masters. Any Hindi Bollywood song after mid 90s has been recorded and mastered digitally. So concept of a analog master doesn't exist. If a song has been recorded digitally it will be stored digitally
 
Hi Prem

Thanks for the info, so is there any advantage sonically on vinyl vis a vis Cd considering digital masters?

Meanwhile I am one more to my requirement on the excel sheet.

Rohit
 
In the google sheet there are two fields where qty. is not mentioned. Kindly do so as early as possible.
 
Problem in India is while mastering CDs they kill the dynamics because they want it to play loud. The original digital master normally sounds superb. The problem comes when they master it for CDs. Since the original digital master will be used and no compression will be introduced at the time of making the master for cutting the lacquer, I expect the vinyl to sound better. For example Adele 21 has a dynamic range of 6 to 8 on cd whereas the dynamic range on vinyl for the same album is 9 to 12

Hi Prem
Thanks so much for explaining the technicalities. I am trying to add one to my order on the excel sheet but I am unable to do so on my phone. Would you be kind enough to do it for me if possible. So my order will be for 2 lps.
Regards
Rohit

Wish we could reach the target soon. Many wanted analogue recording which is not possible for albums post 1994 if iam right. Spoke with distributors or sellers of records in Tamilnadu they said they cannnot buy upfront but ready to sell atleast 30 numbers of each LP.

I think i should invest on their behalf.Its a wait and watch and how much will i able to invest.If i had that much of available money wish i could do the project for regional languages..........

I think we will reach the target. As said earlier can you please post original masters the saregama co is having ? Also if possible I will be interested if they know addresses of recording engineers and vinyl cutters. Indian vinyl mastering and cutting technics, their equipments, their process is important to know and document. And these old experienced technicians information will be very useful.
Thanks and regards.
