I will check which volumes Raga Maqam Dastgah in Germany has in stock. I know they tried to order them from India recently but only received 1 or 2 of the volumes. In India they are officially out of print for many years, but there might still be some copies in shops.Tawfiqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332824027946814674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5951570112842053779.post-46212063718771409742016-08-09T04:36:49.300+02:002016-08-09T04:36:49.300+02:00Thanks for this!
I purchased almost all of those ...Thanks for this!<br /><br />I purchased almost all of those AIR T-series CDs from Shrimati's years ago. There are a little less than 100 of them if I'm not mistaken.<br /><br />The deal with Shrimati's is this: they used to have a storefront in Berkeley, CA (and if you do a google web search with Street View you can see what the storefront used to look like).<br /><br />However, the store has closed to the public. They will still sell you their current stock of CDs and cassettes through mail order. But I doubt very much that they are going to invest any money in purchasing additional copies of CDs from India and have them shipped to California.<br /><br />So if you can find a CD or cassette on their website you can order it, but it could be their last copy. As of today there is volumes 1, 2, 5, and 6 of that series listed on the Shrimati's website -- no volume 3 or 4. If owning the actual CD is important to you, now is the time to get it. Many Western labels specializing in Indian Classical Music have folded. Some are barely functioning. EMI/Saregama/whatever in India is focusing on streaming and downloading -- not on producing physical CDs.<br /><br />Even though CDs are not indestructible (and frequently what is sold as a CD is actually a CDR which has an even shorter lifespan),now is the time to order from Shrimati's. Say hi to Anil and Hitesh if you do!<br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852927085614143833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5951570112842053779.post-74211936726632002412016-08-08T12:52:29.216+02:002016-08-08T12:52:29.216+02:00Hello,
