This vinyl from the 1970s, is one of very few of Bismillah Khan’s works, that was never republished in newer media formats, thus making it a rare record. Members of his party: Mehtab Hussain, Kazim Hussain, Nazim Hussain, Ali Hyder and Ali Abbas. The pic is from 1940

It did appear on a cassette. I had it copied to CD format.

Quite possibly my favourite Bhimpalas. Thank you so much for the digital version!
Did this LP have Ahir Bhairav as Side One? Just trying to recall from the LP sleeve I saw several decades ago.
Other Bismillah Khan LPs that I haven't been able to easily locate that you will probably have no trouble finding: 1) Basant, Asavari, Shuddha Sarang; 2) Gurjari Todi, Shankara, Piloo. The combinations are from memory, so I could be wrong.

[@PokriPoki]

@@mandarmitra yes, you are right about the Bhairav. I'll post it in a few days

[@BhuvaneshB]

@@PokriPoki I could not find this Ahir Bhairav by Bismillah Khan on your channel. Could you please point me to it?

वाह छान हदय स्पर्श करणारी आणी मनाला मधुर धुंद करणारी शहनाई ऐकून मन एकदम ताजे झाले माझ्या हिंदुस्थान चे कलाकार शहनाई वादक बिस्मिल्ला खान यांना त्यांच्या आत्म्यास सलाम जय हिंद
