Electronic recording improved the fidelity (reproduction) of sound. However, synchronizing sound with the speed of the disc was still a challenge. This was the case for many recordings in British India. The original recording of may sound funny to the ears in , but to the ears of that time, it was avant-garde.
Improvisation was limited by 7-inch vinyl at 78 rpm.
A single recording on one side did not exceed three minutes. Condensing a disc could add a few more seconds, but not more.
All songs recorded during Nazrul's career was characterized by this three-minute mark. The finesse of Nazrul's music was difficult to express in this time. This situation didn't change for a long time.

My love for Manabendra and Nazrul's music was through Bagichai Bulbuli Tui. This happened in June or July I was on one of my summer trips to Bangladesh, while I was studying at Cambridge.
I went to Soor Kallal in New Elephant Road. (Late) Mozammel Bhai asked if I had listened to Manabendra. Like to Lawna, my answer that day was in the negative.
Mozammel Bhai gave me two CDs of Manabendra. One was his greatest Adhunik Bangla songs.

I moved away from my parents' collection of LPs and cassettes.
