78 rpm Records of Indian Music: Parvati and Party of Udaipur
More Marwari geets in the vivid low fidelity that appears characteristic of the output of “Marwari Records.” Parvati and Party get a nice groove going, and it is enjoyable to listen through the distortion to get a picture of what this music originally sounded like.
Lo-fi they may have been, but you’ve got to admit that Marwari Records had a damn cool label. I love the tiger, don’t you?
Listening to these 78 rpm discs is a wonderful experience. It’s like falling in love.
Hi there, love the records and the music. I’m in India at the moment and was wondering where you found these beautiful things?
Cheers, Brad

There used to be a place in Mumbai called “Chor Bazaar,” and there was a shopkeeper there who sold these 78s. But the Rajasthani material was purchased at a little shop in Udaipur.
