Here recordings which have been released quite a number of times by different labels with different covers. The same double LP was also published the same year (1973) with a different cover in the US. Originally the recordings were published as two individual LPs. The Jugalbandi LP was orginally released in 1960 in India as EALP 1251 (the very first LP published by The Gramophone Company of India) and in 1964 by Prestige in the US. There was also a widely distributed edition by Transatlantic Records in London from 1969.
The second LP - a solo LP by Ali Akbar Khan - was orginally published in India in 1963 as EALP 1274 and in the US by Prestige in 1965.
The inside of the gatefold album only has advertising for other albums from the label. That is why we didn't scan it.

These discs have been released under so many different labels covers, but,this is an edition I've never seen before!
One thing to note about the duet LP: every edition of it that I've ever seen has the pieces labeled wrong. The Todi is really Kafi, and vice versa. This is caused a lot of confusion over the years.
Thanks again for your wonderful work getting all these wonderful old LP's out.
The only release that I have seen where the Bilaskhani Todi and Palas Kafi tracks were correctly identified was the original Indian LP EALP 1251, which I possess. Possibly some of the Saregama re-releases on CD also have the correct labelling, but as anonymous states above, all others editions, including the Fantasy LP's and CD's have tracks mislabbeled.
Thank-you very much
