MAIHAR
Padma-Vibhushan ALi AKbar Khan (sarod)
Sri Swapan Chaudhuri (Tabla)
Limited edition one step plating process
by Water Lily Acoustics

"This is a pure analog recording done exclusively with custom-built vacuum-tube electronics. The microphone set-up was the classic Blumlein arrangement. No noise reduction,equalization,or limiting of any sort was used in the making of this recording."

I'd rather like to get that. Can you tell me where you ordered it? Water Lily Acoustics themselves only sell CDs.

  The album was I believe released in 1990.
