Sound Of Asiad '82 (The Music Of IX Asian Games, Delhi 1982) - Ravi Shankar Used Vinyl LP Record

This isn’t just another Ravi Shankar release; it’s a vinyl time capsule from Delhi, 1982. Press play and you’re right back in the IX Asian Games—fanfares, marching themes, and orchestral flourishes stitched together with that unmistakable Indian classical touch. Cut on EMI, this LP carries the sweep of a full stadium and the intimacy of Shankar’s melodic sense. The record itself sits in Very Good Plus condition, with surfaces that play clean and lively, while the cover is Very Good—handled, but still proudly showing off its vintage event artwork. For collectors, it’s a rare slice of sports history scored by one of India’s greatest composers. For listeners, it’s a bold, cinematic spin that stands apart from his more meditative work. If your shelves already have the usual Ravi Shankar albums, this one adds the grand, celebratory chapter he wrote for the Games.
