          In early days of gramophone records, the record companies as well              
          as many individuals used to compile and publish full  texts of  songs               
          issued in records  including name of singer , record number,  genre,               
          month & year of release etc.               
          k              
          "Record sangeet", "Kaler gaan", "Binar jhankar", "Record Kakoli",              
          "Phonor gaan", "Record geetaboli","Gramophone record sangraha"               
          were the common series of these published books.              
                         
          These old books are the main source of information  regarding  any              
          research  on  Bengali  gramophone-record-songs  but  has  become              
          extinct, endangered and too expensive to collect.              
                             
          All my collection  of these old books are being digitized and shall be               
          uploaded here for the posterity.
