This is a very rare LP from an Indian label called "A Treasure from
Solomon's Mines". According to the liner notes the date of publication is 1956.
The label apparently published in the second half of the 1950s a couple of LPs
(the very first LPs published in India), for example in 1957 one by Ram Narayan
(SME 3/4).
There had been in the internet already links to download this record, but unfortunately with very poor sound quality. The files we present here are from a broken LP, which a friend was able to restore. The result is much more satisfying then the files found in the internet. There are still some cracks, but otherwise the music has good sound quality.

Unfortunately I'm living in a village at the very end of an internet cable. That means that it is extremely slow. A normal 100 mb file takes already about 5 hours to upload. So you have to accept what is given.
I love you Tawfiq.
Stunning. Thank you so much. This is my favourite site on the internet.
A great listen. I love the recording quality, the tape-echo on the sitar makes the whole event even more magical. Tawfiq thank you for this and all your other treasures!
Wonderful recording! I have several others by Vilayat Khan, but this is by far the best. Thank you.
I am eternally grateful to you for finding and uploading this recording.
WOnderFul! Many thanks!
Dear Abhimonyu,
my pleasure. I'm very very grateful for all the jewels you uploaded on your Mediafire account.
Thanks for this - I regret that I've only recently discovered Vilayat Khan, so excellent to hear his early, rare work.
