Hi All,
In Cal dn't even venture in2 the stores like music world or planet m if u r really looking for some good rdb or kk collection.For regular stuff which r released in the past one year or so they do hv all the collection but nothing more than it.If u wish 2 venture the super stores only I wld suggest 2 go 2 landmark or crosswords which has a better collection of something uncommon...reason being not much fans flock there & the remix crowd is less there.
But if u r truly looking for some rare gems 2 b added in ur list of collections sorry frnds neither of these super stores r good enough 2 help u out.Then u need 2 venture out 2 the obscure shops in & around cal.There r plenty.1 is in gangulybagan,1 is in dhakuria,1 is in bhowanipur(thnks 2 archie for informing me abt this), 1 is in college street,2 r in gariahat itself & plenty more.Here u get the rarest of rare albums.Yesterday frm 1 of these obscure places only i bought 8 casettes of GRAMAPHONE company(the company no more exists which is ex hmv)....the collections r anokha pancham,sapne apne apne,jalta hai jiya which r all compilations & they r like treasures.
Now if u guys r looking for recordings then there is this guy called BEERU in gariahat junction who has the best of rdb & kk collection but he will take some time in completing the recording for u.Any1 interested can refer my name there as I am a customer of his for donkeys years & his recordings r stupenduous.Other than this there r few more places which we can help u guys out when u come down 2 cal if u need the help.
In Mumbai there is this chandni market where u get all the aholesale stuff.There u get all the rare albums.I forgot the name of the mkt.Mayb the mumbai guys can help in giving out the name.
Big shops r a strict no no if u wish 2 get rare collection...speaking frm my experience though.

You had said that you would provide the address of this guy Beeru(sounds Sholayish!), and the place in Gariahat. Please could you? I dont know what kind of internet access I will have while in India, so I would rather get all the details before I leave.
"Yesterday frm 1 of these obscure places only i bought 8 casettes of GRAMAPHONE company(the company no more exists which is ex hmv)....the collections r anokha pancham,sapne apne apne,jalta hai jiya which r all compilations & they r like treasures" ....
would love to get my hands on that kind of stuff!! Could you also give me an idea how much you had to pay for these, if you dont mind.
Thanks
