I have had these lps for a super-long time.  These are actually my doubles.  When I first bought these, I couldn’t remember if I had these or not, so I bought them anyways.  In the case of IN NEW YORK, the lp is actually unplayed & would be in super-mint condition.  The shrinkwrap was removed but it had a plastic album protector and the inside lp has a sealed plastic lp inner sleeve.

Condition of covers and lps:

1) THREE RAGAS:  Cover: gatefold cover, small seam split on upper right inside about 1 inch, small edge wear on upper right, rather spectacular shape, considerint its age, no other issues.  LP: no scuffs, no scratches, no skip.

2) INDIA’S MASTER MUSICIAN:  Cover: small seam split on upper right corner about 2.75 inches and on bottom about 1 inches, rather spectacular shape, considerint its age, no other issues.  LP: very light scuff on Side 2 (hardly noticeable), no scratches, no skip.

3) IN NEW YORK:  Cover: has had plastic sleeve protector on it this whole time in virtually perfect condition, no issues at all.  LP: unplayed & still in protected sealed inner lp sleeve.

I’ve been a huge Ravi Shankar fan for the longest time & have taken extremely good care of all of my Ravi Shankar lps.  I’ve seen him perform a number of times and he’s a true musician’s musician.  The high bidder also receives as a bonus, digital copies taken from these lps and in the case of New York, a digital copy was taken from my other copy of New York,
