A Doyen of Patiala Gharana – Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Used Audio Cassette

Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan on a late-80s HMV cassette hits different – the grain of the tape hugs his taans in a way digital never quite manages. This 1988 “A Doyen of Patiala Gharana” cassette carries that rich, open-throated style he was worshipped for, with every meend stretching like warm light across the room.

The shell is clean, the tape graded Very Good: no warbly drama, just honest analog warmth and a faint hiss that feels like part of the mehfil. The inlay card sits in Very Good Minus condition – a touch of age around the edges, print still sharp, the kind of patina collectors quietly chase.

If you grew up with HMV spines lined up by the tape deck, this feels like meeting an old ustad backstage again. If you’re just building your Indian classical shelf, it’s the sort of title that immediately gives it authority.
