I bought my Minsara Kanavu cassette the day it released, I am assuming it must be the first batch, it does have a credit for Srinivas.

And regarding Rahman's name not appearing in Roja I have something to share.. In an interview, singer Srinivas said, he was very much worried when his name was not credited for ooh la la song from minsara kanavu(2nd charanam is by Srinivas) and that Rahman consoled him by telling him the Roja incident..

I had that Rangeela Super Jhankaar Beats mix, but the moment I came to know that its not by AR, I gave it out to someone. Rangeela Hindi had 5 different inlays; 4 of them were on Time. I have 6 copies of Humse Hain Muqabala on Time / Venus / Tips. Time had two different inlays, and one inlay of Time and Venus is exactly same. I also have one copy of Time where Urvashi Urvashi is printed as Urvashi Vruashi. ;-) But Time and Venus had also joined for Mr. Romeo copyrights. Mr. Romeo has 3 diff inlays Time / Venus / Tips. Very recently, in 2005, Vande Mataram was imported by Music World for Rs 625/- It has different inlay than the Indian version. The Indian version shows the flag tricolors as it is, whereas the International version shows the tricolor upside down. I remember Khel Khiladi Ka cassette was priced at 25/- and the first ever Roja cassette without AR's name on its front, was priced at 29/-. The first ever 'costly' cassette for me was Duniya Dilwalon Ki. It came for 40/- I also remember green colored Chor Chor inlay on Sheer Magic series. Sheer Magic series was good and sounded rich too; maybe because it came for 100/- :-) But there was one more cassette that came for 100/- That was MTV mix. It had Musafir remixed version. Very rare to find in those days.. :-) I have pretty good Tamil cassettes collection, but I missed these small things.. The places where I spent my childhood were thousands KMs away from Tamil Nadu. It is so sad that we don't get these things now. Tiny things.. Still they make you feel life great. Thanks :-) -- On 11/2/07, Gopal Srinivasan < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: That the front of the inlay card of the first batch of cassettes of Roja's dubbed version in Hindi, released by Magnasound, did not have ARR's name? Instead, it had "Maniratnam's Roja (The Rose, in Hindi) - Includes Rukmani Rukmani by Baba Sehgal and Shweta" ARR's name was relegated to the back cover. Subsequent batches carried ARR's name on front.
