Indian Sitar Stuff

While somewhat alone at the time, I rather enjoyed some of the sitar and sitar-influenced guitar work George brought to some of the Beatles songs. Just recently, I found an old Ravi Shankar LP "Three Ragas" on Pacific Jazz and really like many parts of that. Can people suggest pressings (LP's) of other similar instrumental-only Indian music featuring sitar. I am not huge on vocal pieces. Maybe if I understood. ;-)

You gotta love Audiogon.

"I'm in total agreement with your enthusiasm for Shiv Kumar Sharma's Santoor playing"

This is one of the best sentences I've ever seen in print. Who knew there were (at least) two avid fans of Shiv Kumar Sharma's santoor playing out there?

BTW, I've always liked this music and own some of the Cooder/Bhatt/Shankar stuff as well as a couple of D. Byrne's compilations. Enjoyable enough, but I will use this info to seek out some of the more esoteric material you guys have recommended.

Thanks to all for the advice.
