7" Victor Recorded in Japan c.1907 LISTEN

[gramophone78]

a large UK collector informed me this was from his second Asian tour

Either the large collector was misinformed, or you understood him wrong.

There are three mistakes in your video description (my highlighting):
"It is known that Will Gaisberg was traveling all over the world trying to capture different languages.This is one of those recordings made on his second tour and near the end of that tour around August of 1903."

1. First of all you must know that there are two brothers Gaisberg. Both recorded and should not be confused: Fred William "F. W." Gaisberg and William "Will" Conrad Gaisberg, named after their father Wilhelm (William) Gaisberg, born in Wuerttemberg, Germany.

2. It was Fred Gaisberg's first recording tour to the Far East.

3. Fred made his last recordings (including your disc) in June 1903. It took him about six weeks to return to London, where he arrived on August 5, 1903. Obviously these data were muddled.

Thanks Stephan, I never even noticed my "Will" typo. Obviously,it was Fred. I have edited my video. I will try and recall who told me it was the second Asian tour.
