Boney M records do sound great.Special mention should be made of Keith Forsey, on drums and percussion , who played on BoneyMs first three albums, and was a staple artiste on all Giorgio Moroder albums.

Gone wrong, repeat of above one :hence deleted
Calcutta had a group which did instrumental covers. Called 'Savages' this was a well known group in its time. I have an LP and it's nice. Somehow The Shadow reminded me of them. Thanks Murali.
The Shadows have accompanied Cliff Richard during his formative days, and this particular 20 Golden greats LP , though recorded in early 1960s, sounds near audiophile.Calcutta had a group which did instrumental covers.

I took out my Copy of The Shadows 'Greatest Hits', World Records WRLP-411-015. Black cover with Yellow lettering. It's a well recorded( and played!) mono pressing. Could not locate vintage. Prominent numbers are 'Apache', 'FBI', 'Kon Tiki' 'The Savage' and others.The Shadows have accompanied Cliff Richard during his formative days, and this particular 20 Golden greats LP , though recorded in early 1960s, sounds near audiophile.
Of late, not thinking about Quality. Just on the yardsticks that someone decided to re-introduce vinyl , should have taken some pains to make it worthwhile. I have been picking up a few that I liked - a few( new ) every couple of months or so.Not sure if this is the right thread for this question but do people have a view on the recording quality of LPs from late 80s / early 90s. Like Tezaab, Tridev, Sadak, Dil etc. They cost a lot so am wondering if it will be worth it. They score very high on nostalgia and have great songs.

If it were around 1000 bucks it would have been a no brainer the sellers are quoting many times that. I guess its also a supply thing - there may not have been too many copies of LPs pressed and released late 80s / early 90s?Hi,
Given the exorbitant price quoted by most of the online sellers, they are absolutely not worth just for sound quality.
However if one is ready to pay for nostalgia sake, then any price is justified.
I would say a price range of 800 - 1000Rs (maybe 1200 Rs if both the cover and record is NM) for the titles mentioned, in Ex condition, is a good deal.

Trying my share to revive vinyl and encourage them .
In my experience, the titles you mentioned have been regularly available in Kolkata 2nd hand record market.If it were around 1000 bucks it would have been a no brainer the sellers are quoting many times that. I guess its also a supply thing - there may not have been too many copies of LPs pressed and released late 80s / early 90s?
About 7-8 years back, I recollect having paid around 1200 for M (MRP-1200/-) for few Hindi, and around 3500/- for English imports.Hi,

Phew - those prices are steephttps://indianmusicstore.co.in/collections/new-releases
I just stay away from these prices though, to the extent that , even if they offer for 2000/- or lower, I do not feel like paying them.
