Ok, I just bought IR Legends and i'm very angry....

[Dragun]

I didn't know there was an IR Legends set from Saregama. How is the song selection, and how is the sound quality?

Since it is stuck at the same place, I doubt if the CD will be good again.

When you talk to Saregama, if they dont come up with any creative idea to replace the CD, ask them if they can burn a cd (which they do through www.hamaracd.com, which is part of Saregama).

My advice, if you want original IR cd (mainly the 70s and 80s) you are better of getting Echo or oriental records CD. Saregama has very less collection of IR and whatever they have is probably remastered from thattuvadai (lpr)

keyman_sam, also see your PM.

Is a good CD version of "enakkaaga kaathiru" available with Oriental or anyone else? If anyone knows some info, pl let know here, thanks. Looking mainly for "pani mazhai vizhum" along with "dhaagam edukkura neram" and "oh nenjame". Or if they are avilable in some assorted collection CD of IR songs that would be good too.

Probably 'enakkAga kAthiru' was originally released by inreco and I think they may continue to have the rights...I have an inreco CD of assorted Raja songs and `O nenjamE' is included. Very poor sound quality

(The same CD has `ennuyir nee thAnE' of Priya, excellent sound quality, `germaniyin', 'ninaivO oru paRavai', `azhagiya kaNNE', 'en kalyANa vaibOgham' all of decent sound quality. Poor sound quality includes `abhishEga nEraththil', `vAzhu mattum nanmaikkAga' etc.)

I think expecting `good sound quality' old Raja songs is probably `too much'...

[vijayr]

inreco? OK, thanks. I am not expecting super duper quality, just a decent hiss/noise-free version. I have some other songs in mp3 from films of that era that are in good quality, but Enakkaaga kaathiru(along with few ther albums) has been elusive

Same here. Surprised to see IR legends set from Saregama. They have MSV, AM Rajah, MGR, Susheela (have all of them) but never saw/heard abt IR Legends. Is it a black lengthy box or whilte small box (or while lengthy box)

[Dragun]

NJV, I didn't know about the ones you listed either! The Indian stores in my area don't stock stuff many South Indian CDs, and I haven't noticed them at any e-tailers. The "digitally remastered" stuff from Saregama is either not remastered or it is No-Noised to death, so I'm hesitant to buy them anyways.

njv,

It was one of the first sets of the LEGENDS CD and is available ion market for the past 5 years or so. I bought it for RS.800 3 years back and now the rate is revised to RS.1000

njv,
Its a black lengthy box of 5 CDs (release: 2003). I have bought this set couple of months back in Chennai. All the CDs work fine.
