Here are some more results from another of Deben Bhattacharyas' recording trips to Palestine
and another of the earliest and very rare LP's from the most elusive Expo Norr series The World of Music.
It is also a new candidate for the Folkcatalogue discography Again in a most exclusive packaging. Very high quality printing beautiful graphic "educational" layout of the Swedish sixties, and again, like the Rajastani and the Hungarian LP's it comes in a very nice quality cloth binding. Much nicer than todays plastic boxes...
I hope you find something to enjoy from this LP.
Also don't miss the four LP's of Deben Bhattachariyas' recordings in Israel posted here by Gadayas on his blog The World Jukebox!

Its such a delight to see these Expo Norr LPs...each one is a sight to behold, and a case for the value of the physical object. Let someone try recreating this in a digital download (though I must admit that your posts come as close as its possible to!)
The pictures bring the period and the place to life, what a time it must have been to live in the Holy Land.
There's so much to take in and relish in each of your posts, sometimes I forget that there's music to listen to as well! :)
Thank you for everything, dear bo!
Dear Arvind,
Your comments are most welcome, I was just wondering if no one noticed this album! After all it had been up here for almost a full day, and nothing... ;-)
No, I am really happy you take the time to come by here with such regularity and I have you down as honorific Luobaniyan so you will never have any problems in the customs or crossing the borders ;-) Not that we have any such obstacles as borders are only in the minds of non-citizens and Luobaniya is all about freedom!
Welcome back anytime!
