praise albums which don't even manage to hit audio stores or iTunes.

Who needs stores when you have flipkart or 600024? I am curious as to how and why the mass market availability of a music album determines the validity of its appreciation by a listener. If you are trying to suggest that the fact that they are not in the (few remaining) brick-and-mortar stores or Itunes implies these fans praised it without listening to it, that need not necessarily be true at all. I have albums (not by Ilayaraja) which are not retailed in India and which I got shipped from a US based online retailer for a lot of money (but it was well worth the money and then some, to me).

I sourced Chithairiyil Nila Choru from 600024 and ordered Megha soundtrack direct from the Ilayathaalam website. We are not in the 90s anymore, this is the ecommerce age of India. There are many avenues available for a fan to acquire an album if he really wants to do so.
