This particular transfer fell off the zippy share file service (due to a 30-day period of time where no-one downloaded it) and there were several anonymous people requesting a re-upload.
I remastered the original digital transfer, using very gentle setting on "Click Repair. The result should be worth re-downloading and eliminating your old files.

Debu Chaudhuri was last seen in this blog with his second LP issued in the West. This, I believe, is his first LP to be released in the West, on the EMI budget label called "Music for Pleasure." Unlike a lot of MFP albums, this seems to be an original production and not a reissue.
There was definitely a craze going on in 1966 and 1967 for the sitar, especially given the attentions brought to it by groups like the Beatles and (less famously) the Rolling Stones.
Tabla on the LP is by Faiyaz Khan.
