U. Srinivas - Mandolin Ecstasy

For several years after its release this release was the one most widely available in the West. Its front photograph captures a young U. Srinivas clutching an instrument scarcely smaller than himself. If nostalgia can influence a recommendation then Mandolin Ecstasy gets a recommendation on those grounds alone. Musically it captures him at a formative stage. His later work has eclipsed it, as one would expect. ~ Ken Hunt, All Music Guide
