He said himself that he had made 20 movies and 130 LP albums in the sleeve notes to one of his albums. I will go on to post at least 10-15 more or so. But not all at once, there will be still 5 more this time around and then we will see!

This music and the booklet transports me to a very special time and place. I've been so absorbed with the pictures in the folder, I hardly noticed not being able to read the text. Some beautiful photography there!

And its a nice panoramic collection! These Bengal recordings must have been a labour of love for Bhattacharya; though he didn't grow up there, he belongs to Bengal.

Now, I'm curious to read what the notes have to say about the Santals, so I think I'll head on to everyone's favourite translator and see what it throws up ;)
Might even learn some Swedish in the process.

Thanks, bo! :)

Ooooh. Mummy please we want to go to Bengal. What pretty pictures - does anyone know where to watch any of his films? I mean if the music is out of print then the movies are probably equally untouchable... thanks for opening up some new worlds for us here thought!
