english music made reluctant productions of some of these musicians i seriously doubt if things like royalties were ever considered there were certainly no second pressings not because the music didnt sell but because the label never bothered to go down that route any further concentrating their efforts and funds on hindi film music and popular music in regional languages i believe despite all the hype for indian classical music it suffered more or less the same fate of course the internet came and upset everyones apple cart but that was quite a few years later theres so much music that went unrecorded was not produced and marketed that it is a crying shame a slice of our countrys rich music history has just disappeared with younger people never to know what it was like except for the words that i and other passionate enthusiasts write every now and then jayshree and gyan singh amyt datta and jivraj singh as skinny alley brought out two albums of original music does anyone even remember dilip balakrishnans songs with his outfit high was cleaned up from some old mostly amateur recordings and released some years ago whatever happened to that if someone wants it now the internet and its many music sharing platforms have opened up the availability of music as well as avenues for the musicians but it is chaotic and overcrowded torrent sharing runs a parallel course and does not make things easier so yes theres a lot of music available in english or for that matter in other languages in india but whos listening does the legacy we have serve a purpose i see nothing to the contrary where music in english and western music by and large is getting the due it rightfully deserves this listing of music out of calcutta can go on for a few more pages but what would be the point a select few albums of original music in english released in india by record labels many years ago and are not easily available if at all and i wonder if all india radio still has recordings of these and many other musicians done in their studios those years ago when government radio did more for western music than any institution does today susmit bose train to calcutta high high again skinny alley escape the roar songs from the moony boom calcutta 16 ballad of the purple inn single compilation of indian bands from the simla beat contest simla beat 1970 simla beat 1971 the cavaliers love is a mango single the braz gonsalves 7 with pam crain raga rock patrick sl ghose
