thiruvasakam in symphony

yesterday, i had been to shanti tailors, mylapore to get a CD(too late isn't it!).....

he said he is running out of stocks...juz bcos Ilayaraaja's Italy Concernt CD was sold there, people throng the store for TbI CDs......ofcourse i was one among them :P

he said so far 25,000 CDs have been sold(not sure in Chennai alone!) in the last 1 week.....he was very excited to tell this news...

just when i came out of the shop and without my knowledge i turned right & looked at the Kabaleeswarar temple gopuram, the word 'ANBE SIVAM' conveyed it all!

Ellam Avan Seyal!!

I am sorry. What is TIS.
Thiruvasagam In Symphony.
I am sure that Agilan has invited you to the launching of this masterpiece at NUPW Hall next Sunday, where guests include Kartik Raja and Bavadharani.
They will also be showing The Making of TIS.
Entrance is free.

p.s. I will be posting this in the forum also to avoid multiple requests from me to all. Thanks.
Friends, if you also come across such information of mass buying, pl. verify with the store that it is an individual and not a rep. of a US based distributor. Then, they will undersell and reduce the value. Pl. help. Thanks.
YIA!!

Few people who does in USA (excluding the ones that I already takl to and confirmed that they WILL NOT bring from india)

TISK, I am telling you, requesting / begging is one thing we can always do, but get some paper work done and issue something like an official statement.

I will talk to one Mr Mohan, who worked on the legal formalities of TIS (you can contact Mr Ananth in NJ who knows Mohan very well) and see if he has any paper work.

also ask TIS-India to warn retailers who are selling TIS India to exporters / who are exporting directly or who are even encouraging exports to outside USA. Ask them to contact IMI (Indian Music Industry) and put a ban on exporting this item (Yes you can do it. You need to pay little money, but its worth it. You will get an IMI hologram that you need to stick in the India CD and anyone who carries them outside India )

Sorry to say this now, but this is where a reputed brand like Sony/Saregama would play a vital role. Lets hope that Maestro's next work is done either thru these folks or hope wellgate (is it the company name?) knows the tricks by then.

Thanks

Read your PM.

I have done just that---requesting and begging--- for the last 20 months and look at where we are today!
"puRRil vaazh aravum anjEn!
poyyarkaL uRavum anjEn!"

yellaam iRaivan aruL!

One positive thought:
While piracy, smuggling, supply-not-meeting-demand are real concerns, these are indicators of success of the album among music lovers...(Just imagine if the concerns were `not-having-demand', `over-stocked' & `musically-not-good' etc.)

I am a volunteer of TIS Group. Should any one needs to get the CD in Bay Area for cash, you can contact me @ pathanmusic@yahoo.com or (650) 577 8473. I will be available in this line after 5:30 during weekdays. But you can leave a message.

thanks

Can you please publish the volunteers and thier contact details in TIS-USA.com so that people who want to save some shipping can benefit from it.

Thanks

Our webmaster has been so swamped with other work with sending these CD's on time, he couldn't have time to upload it. We do have compiled a list and will do so asap. Sorry and thanks for reminding!

May I can provide a short list here but our WM will be mad at me for doing so as he prefers everything to come at the official site first!!
:D :lol:

YIA!
