So far the cover could use some work.
Really wanted to create a book for this material as I haven't found one that covers it, of course, Michael Sherman briefly went over these types in his Guide, but a full book is always nice.

Did Victor really send agents to China in 1902? I thought that all of the first recordings were made in the U.S. by the Chinese colony there.
Here is a good overview of Chinese recordings, both on cylinders and discs, between ca. 1900 and 1911:

Some were recorded domestically, some were recorded from G&T/Victor agents sent to China around 1902~, Columbia also did the same. Eventually, Victor stopped doing domestic recordings all together (though I can't find as to why?), & thanks for the article, I need some sources.
