Hi, still whenever I go to small towns and villages..
I purposely go to cassette shops...the small shops doesnt have them.. but others have vey popular ones like alaipayudhe, BOYs, NEW and all that.. KKS was very rarely found..Hindi even "so called" popular anu maliks are absent.. --- In [email protected], Pankaj Kakkar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi what about cassettes? they are reachable to any one but sometimes cassettes too bear the prices as Rs.70/- 75/- etc. then poor fans will go for shut it forget it & get it through illegal mode. And another way for ARR to reach even the last person is, in tamil what they as dappakoothu, ARR has to give one such item in every album he scores.
