Hi, I’m Avijit — founder of Calcutta Records.

About three years ago, my dad took me to Freeschool Street. We stumbled into a shop selling records. I wondered what these big albums with beautiful artwork were all about. Then it hit me — as a kid, I used to play with records like frisbees and sometimes spun one on a little green Philips player at home.
Back then, I had no idea about their audiophile quality.
I bought a few records that day, and with my dad’s help, we got a turntable and hooked it up. The warmth and clarity of the sound astounded me. I was instantly hooked.
That’s when the journey really began — collecting records, upgrading equipment, experimenting with cartridges, amps, speakers — you name it.
Of course, as the collection grew, so did the clutter. My wife kept hounding me about turning the house into a stockpile of records. She finally said, “If you’re going to keep doing this, you better make it legit.”
That’s how CalcuttaRecords.com was born — a way to share our passion and the magic of physical music with the rest of the world.

If you love the experience of vinyl and great sound, welcome to the CRC family.
