What are your favourite genres of Music and your all-time favourite musician?
I like to listen to Classical Indian music and old Hindi songs. My favourite music director is Naushad Ali.
How and why did you get into record business?
It all started back in 1980. I have always had an inclination towards records and I used to listen to them on my record player as a child. Nobody in my family had any sort of interest in this but my passion for music drove me to start my own business and even after almost 30 years I am still doing what I love.
What types of records do you keep?
My personal collection consists of Classics like Gauhar Jaan, Janki bai, Badi Moibai, Abdul Kareem Khan. We keep old Bollywood records, Ghazals, and Classical Indian music in our stock.
Tell us a little about your clientele, and How have they changed over the years and Do you get young clients?
Lately, I have seen a lot of youngsters wanting to buy records for their record players. They like to collect old records and it’s nice to see that there are still a few people who share the same love for vinyl like me.
Have you felt the revival of Vinyl?
Back in the 80s, people wanted to listen to records and not just keep them as a collectable item so there were a lot of vinyl enthusiasts who bought records for the love and joy of music. It’s not exactly the same right now but I am excited about this revival. Vinyl is definitely here to stay.

TANGIBLE INFORMATION ABOUT CHRISTMAS LOAN FOR PLANNING…
This is not a normal post that you see every day on the internet where people make false statements and false information about huge financial assistance.. I am aware that many of you have been scammed and that fake agents have taken advantage of those seeking loans. I will not call this a normal statement, I will call this situation where I live a witness to how you can get your loan when you meet the company’s requirements. It really does not matter to have a good credit rating or government approval, all you need is a valid ID card and a valid IBAN number to be able to apply for a loan with an interest rate of 3%. The minimum amount is 1000 euros and the maximum amount that can be borrowed is 100,000,000 euros. I give you a 100% guarantee that you can get your loan through this reliable and honest company, we operate 24 hours online and provide loans to all citizens of Europe and outside Europe. They sent me a document that was checked and tested as valid before I got the loan, so I invite anyone who needs a loan to visit them or contact them via
Email: michaelgardloanoffice@gmail.com
WhatsApp for Europe: +385915608706
WhatsApp for USA: +1 (717) 826-3251
After you contact them, let them know that Ms. Dejana Ivica from Zagreb gave you the information. Seeing is believing and you will thank me later when you get a loan from them. I made a promise that after I get a loan from them, I will post the good news to everyone online. If you have friends or relatives, including colleagues, you can tell them about this offer and that it is happening this CHRISTMAS.

Hello,
I was born in Calcutta where I lived with my parents till I was 28 years old before going to Delhi on work.
My father sang Hindustani classical and had even made records with HMV. This must have been between 1930- 40.
I am trying to find out if I can find any of his recordings.
Can you please advise?
Regards
Vijay
