The Second Disc

Not much developing on this story yet, but Wall Street Journal music critic Jim Fusilli posted this on his Twitter feed earlier today: “In October, Rhino to release Ravi Shankar-George Harrison boxed set.” There was a link along with the tweet, but it just linked to a documentary about chants of India on YouTube, for which Harrison was interviewed.

UPDATE (2:51 P.M.): This article has some more info. Collaborations, as it’s called, looks to collate three Shankar records produced by Harrison – Shankar Family and Friends (1974), Ravi Shankar’s Music Festival from India (1976) and Chants of India (1997) – as well as a live DVD comprised of a rare performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1974. Look for it from Dark Horse/Rhino on October 19.

Hit the jump to see the track lists for the original records.
