    Thank you. I have some of his other stuff, but this is new.

    Azerbaijani music is such a deep and wondrous goldmine.

    Thank you. Would be interested what the other stuff you have is. Next to these two Lps I have a CD published in Iran, apparently rereleasing a LP from 1959 and one CD from Azerbaijan downloaded from the internet.
    Greetings

    For Mansurov I probably have the same two albums as you - the Iranian one and another off the internet. I'll send you the covers for you to check if you wish - somehow work out a contact email?

    For Aberzaijan I have a large selection - some purchased from emusic, most downloaded from other sites. I've near exhausted the emusic stock.

    Very willing to share anything I have.

    Worldwide Alim Qasimov is the most well-known, but he's only the tip and there are others at his level - arguably better. Plus the Ashiqs are another area entirely.

    I'm not sure why I find it so wonderful at the moment - it seems to lie between so many musical traditions and disciplines, yet still has it's own very clear magic.

    Let me know a contact method and if there's anything I can share, I will.

    Respect to you and your blog - you have introduced me to so much.

    I guess I will have almost everything you have, if you don't have any LPs or CDs published in Azerbaijan itself. But I would be interested in the cover of the one off the internet. Hope that it is not the CD version of the Unesco LP.
    Best greetings
