Vinyl ("LP" record) covers speak about IR (Pictures & Details) - Thamizh

I guess we are done with the "delta" from that site

There are some bigger pictures in that site for some albums that we already have...I really don't care for them as they don't add much value to my stat thingy

However, one may want to check them out...

Once again, this is the link :

Some corrections / updates, thanks to e-mails from our friend...

#1 kairAsikkAran (1984) lyricist credits has an inaccuracy / typo in the vinyl cover, crediting two lyricist for the same #2 song "OthAmal".

OTOH, the disk is correct:





Accordingly, Pulamaippiththan has written "OthAmal" and VM "thEn sumandha"

#2 kavarimAn

Whatever pictures we got from musicalaya site seems to be from a later release. Here are the FIRST release vinyl's covers, that have all the songs and something more interesting:









These disk covers should dispel the myth that IR never credited musicians!

Also, correct lyricist for the song 'uLLangaL inbaththil Adattum' is Panju sir (and not Pulamaippiththan as wrongly claimed by many websites)!

IR's audio sleeve pictures are now getting featured in FB, by Kameshratnam sir : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ilaiyaraaja-Vinyl-Ep-Lp-Audio-Cd-Dvd-Covers/552294241476153

Stumbled upon this blog that has the cassette cover of 'puthiya swarangaL', an unreleased movie (music by rAsA / directed by "uthirippookkaL" Vijayan) :

Here is the picture (I've never heard the songs at all):

skr had e-mailed me some more scans

Let me post those that have not been included before first! (There are also some pictures with better resolution, of the ones posted earlier)...

vetRikku oruvan (1979) was full of hit songs that had regular air time those days (NT -IR combo...thOraNam Adidum mEdaiyil nAyagan nAyagi...)

Cassette cover of araNmaNaikkiLi, the big Raj Kiran hit of 1992 (adi poonguyilE poonguyilE)

Bharathi (2000) - I had the exact same cassette those days



mayil pOla poNNu oNNu was by Mu Mehta & edhilum ingu was by Pulamaippiththan.

Rest of the songs obviously by the vidudhalaikkuyil mahA kavi

The last movie of Manivannan-IR combo, ANdAn adimai of 2001 (I really love that 'undhan rAjjiyaththil' song - goose bump stuff). (BTW, there is also kungumappottu goundar in the cassette. Music not by IR but Sirpi)

Interesting to note that Thamarai wrote a song in this AA album. (I still don't know why Gautam didn't sign her up for NEPV - Na Mu was fine but...)

Then there is 'kAdhal kavidhai' by Agaththiyan of 1998 (who wrote all songs in the album - 'alai meedhu' is a lovely one in spite of Bhava!)

This album came during my early days at tfmpage.com and I remember getting the cassette as per good reviews there...

Now, this one is quite special - from the first year of rAsA - 1976

uRavAdum nenjam!

Only one side of the cover is available, however...(all songs by PA and there's no need to guess the singers anyways )

This is another interesting one - an Islamic album by Nagoor Hanifa, with music by "Pavalar Brothers"

Another non-filmi album, has songs composed by KR mainly & a couple by IR:

"kAdhalai gauravikkum nEram" (I've never heard these songs )

We had earlier posted the vinyl pic of 'aRuvadai nAL' ; here is the cassette sleeve of the album :

The following two pics got posted earlier but the ones sent by skr are of better resolution - hence sharing them here :

RYTHEMS

FLOOT

yuck

(That mAyakkaNNAdi disk producer / Cheran to blame)

Also, suddenly they reverse the order and say Sadhanandham - Guitar - no discipline no culture fellows.

Unfortunately, rAsa has to work with such non-professional fellows all the time!

App , 
Hahaha , you are absolutely right .. not sure if you watched the trailer of Nadi Thudikkudhadhi 
Maestro spelt as mastero
pursuit spelt as persuit

Disgusting that they cant even take care of these minimal requirements.

Really!!? More than flute spelt as floot - this gets me to boil over - this is perfect example of "Brahminisation" that (a)gnaani keeps talking about..
Raaja's simple outwarldly appearance needs no "brahminical" make over
