Here is one for the thread. This 7" G&T is a little gem for a Burmese record circa 1903.

That is neat little item. Must have been from one of the Gramophone Co. / Fred Gaisberg 'field recording' trips, from very early on in such things.gramophone78 wrote:Here is one for the thread. This 7" G&T is a little gem for a Burmese record circa 1903.

I have noticed that when I check eBay for Pathé recordings it is not at all unusual to see them show up in all sorts of languages/origins--mostly Chinese, but many other places as well.

Those Indian 78's could possibly date from into the 1960's. Are any of them vinyl?Brandon wrote:I have a stack of Ravi Shankar HMV discs from India...
If one trawled the junk shops in India, I imagine Ravi Shankar 78's to be very common.
