This LP still eludes me.......

Today it was" Evergreen Film Hits From Shakti Samanta". Iconic songs from Aradhana, Amar Prem and other films. The cover shows Shakti with his reel to reel tape recorder, so popular with those who could afford it! Afairly good recording, too

They threw the ball out of the park with this pressing.

With Julie Andrews being honoured with a "Lifetime Achievement" Award recently, it was time to take out my copy of ' Sound of Music'. The Album is still awe inspiring and and a nice listen.
On another note, both the Pink Floyd and Dire Straits albums above are classics. I have heard the other pressings of above and they remain eternal favourites.

Hi, which pressing do you own ? I am talking about Sound of Music . A few years ago Music on Vinyl reissued it on 180g vinyl . Not sure if that was sourced from the Analogue tapes . Do you know how it sounds btw ? Thanks !

Hi Sid. I have a old pressing, by the Gramaphone Company of India. It is a Mono pressing ,LOCD2005. For playing mono records, i use either an Audio Technica AT 3600L or a Sanyo MG -09 D cart( both made in Japan) . My feeling is that these are more forgiving of surface noise . HOld Bollywood also sounds better with these cartridges with spherical stylii.
This particular copy does sound good. I have not heard the remaster.

Hi Sid, MOV is digitally sourced. And it's very easy to source an old analogue pressing of SoM in good condition for cheap.
OTOH, MOV records sound good most of the time. Sourcing an analogue pressing may give you peace of mind.

Hi Sid,
I see you are from Bangalore. Try local record dealers first. SoM was very popular during that era and tons of it were sold in Indian market. There was hardly any home listening to western music which didn't have it. So it should be pretty easy to spot one.
Other more experienced record buyers from Bangalore may help you too.
Just give it a try and see.

Nice! Need that one. I just picked up Jackie McLean's Destination Out from the same series. Quite bittersweet listening to those gorgeous Grachan Moncur III compositions just days after he passed away.

Two stellar live jazz albums I picked up recently.
