Album cover for the 2002 release Ragas Alhaiya Bilaval & Mishra Bhairavi, originally by Auguste Racinet (1825–1893)

Ram Narayan began to record music when he played on three solo 78 rpm gramophone records for the British HMV Group in 1950 and recorded an early 10 inch LP album in Mumbai in 1951. Over the following decades Narayan had numerous solo recordings published.

Since the 2000s, the releases by Music Today, Nimbus Records, The Gramophone Company, Universal Music India, and Venus Records have become available in online music stores.
