Re: [arr] Did you know?
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. - Original Message From: shahul hameed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 3, 2007 1:39:15 AM Subject: Re: [arr] Did you know?

Dear Gopal, You made me to go back into time.. A surprise, sudden, amazing, nostalgic trip. Yes I know it all.

[arr] Did you know for the last time today?
That two different labels, one released the cassette and the other the CD of a Rahman film simultaneously? Guess which film and which labels?
[arr] Did you know some more?
That in the days when audio CDs were imported into India at Rs. 600 each and cassettes were priced at Rs. 25, HMV launched a high-end cassette label line called 'Sheer Magic' with a premium positioning and made of jam-free rollers and fungus-resistant tape, priced at Rs. 100 a piece with Chor Chor being the first film title released on this label?
Re: [arr] Did you know?
Yup, That was the tamil version. infact it does not have the "chinna chinna aisai" reprise track on it.

Re: [arr] Did you know?
You are referring to the Tamil version, I guess. The released version did have ARR's name right in front and also his mug shot on the reverse. - Original Message From: Gomzy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, November 2, 2007 4:30:12 PM Subject: Re: [arr] Did you know?
