Accompanists listed are those for tracks 1-5 & 9. Those for tracks 6-8 are not listed, but feature a moorsing (along with violin & mridangam) in tracks 6 & 7 (ghatam in track 8).

This CD is still problematic, both for its compilation program as well as its so-so production values. However, it still features some of the best singing by DKP available at present. Of course, it is also utterly lacking in documentary information, something which would help to smooth the other faults of these archival reissues.
