Thank you very much!!
Do you have pics of these audio cassetes to ? Or covers only.
The Lok Virsa series are fantastic. One of great institutions in Pakistan
Yes, I agree. Wished to have more from this series, especially also some of their folk music, for example from Sindh. Some of their cassettes I already have posted, also one from times when they were still called National Institute of Folk Heritage.
One can find a good number of their cassettes on this blog:

Aladin,
unfortunately my old scanner broke down and with my other scanner I can't make good scans of objects, only of flat covers. Even the LP labels are sometimes difficult to scan.
