"Beyond Time" an excellent piece of music recorded under the expert guidance of Jagjit Singh, which combines music with the rippling of the ocean in the Ghazal "Teri Ankhon Ke Samander..." A rare piece of music never ever performed.

The stupendous success of "The Unforgettables" the first LP of Ghazals inspired HMV to go outdoors and do live recordings of concerts by these artists.
