BANGLA DESH INTERNATIONAL POP MUSIC COMMUNITY APPLE

The whole Bangla Desh set was premiered over the radio a few nights ago, neatly coinciding with the Indian Army's rout of the West Pakistani forces and the liberation of the East, putting the sweet seal of history on the cause that launched this record in the first place. Three of us sat listening for an hour or more, though admittedly we weren't as polite as the studio audience; we turned off the first half hour of Ravi Shankar. Then the George Harrison-Leon Russel-Mad Dogs & So On Part began.
