Sri V.A.K. Ranga Rao – Collection of Old Telugu Literature

Dear Friends, 

Sri V A K Ranga Rao has a collection of over 42,000 gramophone records
of music, dramas and speeches, in around forty Indian languages and
dialects and 30 foreign languages.

He is a Music Scholar, Dancer, Film Historian, Book Reviewer, Art Critic and Orator, He is the son of Ravu Janardana Krishna Ranga Rao – the Zamindar of Chikkavaram and
Saraswathi Devi.

I have contacted him today and requested him to spare some of the rare gramphone records (like P.suribabu padyaalu etc) for degital recording and placing them on net for free downloading by telugu people.He happily agreed for this but told me it is very costly
and if any body interested in this work can contact him at his address:
