Back from the Grave is a series compilation albums of 1960s garage rock created and compiled by Tim Warren and released by Crypt Records.
 The series originally consisted of eight LP records released between 1983 and 1992.
 Volumes seven and eight were double albums.
 Starting in 1994, the series was reissued on compact disc.
 Due to the longer playing times offered by CDs, the first seven volumes were contained on four discs, save for a few tracks that were omitted.
 And, while all of the songs on the first four CDs are included on first seven vinyl albums, they do not necessarily correspond to the individual LPs bearing their same titles.
 However, the Volume 8 CD corresponds almost directly its LP double-LP counterpart, but with the addition of four bonus tracks not included on the LP.
 The eight vinyl albums are titled consecutively "Back From The Grave, Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Vulume 5, Volume 6, Volume 7, Volume 8, Volume 9, and Voume 10."
 In similar fashion the five CDs are titled "Back from the Grave, Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 8, and Volumes 9 & 10" (which are both included on one CD).
 There are no volums 5, 6, or 7 for the CDs.
 Two separate LPs for Volume 9 and 10 were released in 2015 as well one CD, released the same year, which combines Volumes 9 and 10 onto one double-length disc.

In Hindustani music, a pakad is a generally accepted musical phrase (or set of phrases) thought to encapsulate the essence of a particular raga.
 The pakad contains the melodic theme of the raga, on listening to the pakad a person who knows the raga is usually able to identify it.
 In many cases, the ragas contain the same swaras (notes), then the pakad also contains information about gayaki or chalan (the way the notes are to be ordered and played/sung).
 Usually, the pakad is formed from short convolutions of the arohana and avarohana, while in some cases it is quite different from them.
 The pakad for a particular raga need not be unique, its sole purpose is to clarify what raga it is.
Ragamala Paintings are a series of illustrative paintings from medieval India based on "Ragamala" or the "Garland of Ragas", depicting various Indian musical modes called Ragas.
