A.R. Rahman Collection Inventory

My first purchase of A.R. Rahman's music was a cassette of "Bombay" released by Mani Osai in Malaysia in 1994 around Deepavali. I still remember I just finished my high school final exams (S.P.M.), and was on a long break waiting for the results that was released on 7th March 1995 (the day that A.R. Rahman was in Malaysia for the launching of the "Indira" soundtrack in Kuala Lumpur). I bought the "Bombay" cassette from the Hema shop in SS5, Kelana Jaya for RM5. Ever since then, I try my best to buy A.R. Rahman's cassettes, and CDs. The thing I regret is not to start my collection of the Pyramid CDs in the 1990s. By the time I started, the Pyramid CDs became very rare, and sought after among the millions of A.R. Rahman's fans across the world.

I've only started to compile the inventory of my small collection of A.R. Rahman's releases. Of course, with Internet, I'm able to collect the CDs I've wanted for a long time such as the Time Audio CD of "Rangeela" originally released in 1995. The link below contains the partial inventory of my current collection which I will continue to update whenever I could.


If your wishlist CD is in the list, and you would like to purchase it - please do let me know. I might be willing to let a CD go if another fan really wants it. I believe that all of us are only temporary passengers in this world, and I very well know the feeling when we find what we have been looking for such a long time - it's better for us fans to share what we can among ourselves.

And A.R. Rahman will be here live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 26th April 2014... To be continued...
