Could someone who happens to have a copy of a 1969 EMI LP entitled
"Rythms of India" with Ahmedjan Thirakwa and Amir Hussain Khan confirm
the contents of the recording with the label and the liner notes. My
copy appears to have Amir Hussain Khan playing tintal, rupak, and
jhaptal(20:10), and Ahmedjan Thirakwa (17:12) playing tintal and
ektal(not rupak as the liner notes claim).
If anyone has this album or a copy of it and could definitely say who is playing what, that would be very much appreciated. Record companies and thier distributors were known to clip and otherwise mangle performances and to mis-attribute or switch attributions (more so with recordings of non-western and "ethnic" music, often leaving out the attributions altogether). I have a slight suspicion that the performances could have been switched on this particular recording but I need to know for certain.

I remember seening the similar posting in this site a while back and someone replied that the CD has Pandit Samta Prasad as well beside other two greats.
