Tracks 2, 4, 5, 9 & 10 recorded in Bombay in March 1934. Tracks 1, 6, & 7 recorded in Bombay in February 1935. Tracks 3 & 8 recorded in Bombay on December 22, 1935. Both the later sessions are presumed to have the same accompanists. Digipak with booklet of notes. Comes with a 12-page booklet of notes and photographs. The titles of the tracks given above are taken from the liner notes of the CD, but they are substantially incorrect. Only tracks 7-10 are actually correct. Tracks 4 & 10 (originally on Columbia Records 78 RPM discs BEX 257 and BEX 254 respectively) have never been previously issued on LP or CD. By comparing with authentic versions of the tracks on the LP's 33ECX 3251, 33ECX 3253 & 33ECX 3304, the correct raga names & bandish titles on the CD are determined to be: 1. Mishra Kafi 'Bavarai Dama De Gayo' 2. Basant 'Phagwa Brij Dekhanko' 3. Basant 'Ab Maine Man Dekheri' 4. Gujri Todi 'Dim Dara Dina' tarana 5. Malkauns 'Piran Jani Dekhi' 6.
