One man's rubbish is another man's treasure

I visted a local audio shop in KL, and started to talk with the sales lady, and I told her how rare it is to find A.R. Rahman's CDs nowadays. I told her the story of how I managed to find a copy of the "Thiruda Thiruda" Magnasound CD from a fleamarket. She told that her shop had ordered 15 copies of that CD combo with "Puthiya Mugam" back in 1995 when"Chor Chor" was released. They managed to sell 5 copies but they still had the remaining 10 copies until 2012 when they destroyed the CDs when they relocated their shop as they focused primarily on Hindi audio, and video. Oh my Kadavul!!! Why did the owner of the shop did that? I visited the shop a few times in 2012, and I never thought to ask about old Tamil CDs of A.R. Rahman as they only sold Bollywood collections. 

Such a missed opportunity - I told the sales lady - your boss could have made lots of money by selling his old collection on the Internet especially for A.R. Rahman CDs.

May Maadham & Musical Extravaganza

I managed to get the Pyramid CD of "May Maadham & Musical Extravaganza" - CD PYR 8218 for RM19.90 this week from a local audio shop. The sound quality is so much sharper, and clearer than the Aditya CD of "May Maadham". The instrumental tracks are the jewel of the CD. With this CD - I only need to complete 7 more of the Pyramid CDs of A.R. Rahman's releases:

• Roja
• Kizhakku Cheemaielea
• Fantasy
• Vandi Solai Chinraasu
• Kaadhalan
• Bombay
• Indira
