from the flipside of lp:
'Pandit Jasraj ranks very high amongst the few youngsters who are fast approaching the front line in the field of classical musique. Coming from a family traditionally known to belong to Mewati School of Musique, he was born in the year 1930 at Hissant in Punjab. His father, the late Pandit Motiram was a noted musician, but the credit for grooming young Jasraj to the present form goes to his eldest brother Pandit Maniraum. Quiet & gentle in nature, he has evolved a style in keeping with his disposition: he believes in laying more stress on emotional contents than adorning his performanes with frills of acrobatics of the vocal chords. His voice, deliciously sweet & mellow, is very often heard from various stations of the All India Radio & his frequent appearances at all important musique conferences have won for him a very large following throughout the nation.'

this saregama 'replica' of the 1st jasraj joint fer hmv in the six six sixties really clears the air. 320 entrancing emanations
