It’s also the second album Harrison’s Dark Horse Records released, setting the tone for the label and precedent for a friendship that lasted the remainder of Harrison’s life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the original analog tapes, strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, and pressed at RTI, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g LP presents the album in restored sound that illustrates the beauty of the playing, compositions, and chemistry. Yet it does so much more in the transparent way it showcases the textures, spiritualism, and breadth of compositions primarily recorded by Harrison, Shankar, and an array of distinguished guests at A\u0026amp;M Studios. The inviting aura, generous spaciousness, and well-defined tonalities on this pressing combine to take the music to transcendent heights. Then there’s the brilliant playing itself.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI Am Missing You\u003cbr\u003eKahān Gayelavā Shyām Saloné\u003cbr\u003eSupané Mé Āyé Preetam Sainyā\u003cbr\u003eI Am Missing You (Reprise)\u003cbr\u003eJaya Jagadish Haré\u003cbr\u003eDream, Nightmare \u0026amp; Dawn (Music for a Ballet):\u003cbr\u003eOverture\u003cbr\u003eFestivity \u0026amp; Joy\u003cbr\u003eLove-Dance Ecstasy\u003cbr\u003eLust (Rāga Chandrakauns)\u003cbr\u003eDispute \u0026amp; Violence\u003cbr\u003eDisillusionment \u0026amp; Frustration\u003cbr\u003eDespair \u0026amp; Sorrow (Rāga Marwā)\u003cbr\u003eAwakening\u003cbr\u003ePeace \u0026amp; Hope (Rāga Bhatiyār)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47515843625143,"sku":null,"price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/2555\/4103\/files\/d1_c3bf99ec-9f28-49a7-b4d8-1802d9519923.jpg?v=1776022692","url":"https:\/\/skyvalleyrecords.com\/products\/ravi-shankar-shankar-family-and-friends-180g-33rpm-lp","provider":"Sky Valley Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
