Museum collection of rare Indian shellac records

Discs and Machines

My collection of more than 200 gramophones and nearly 100,000 records are being moved into a new building in Plassanal, Kerala, India. Inauguration of the Museum cum Archive is scheduled for 26th January 2015. A seminar will be conducted on 25th and 26th January.

I am maintaining a You-tube channel for uploading very old and rare recordings on Shellac records. Visit https://www.youtube.com/user/sunny78rpmmusic for viewing and hearing more than 400 recordings.
