The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Good morning from Beijing.

Here is a PDF of Edison's Chinese Catalog. I do not have a copy of Edison's Chinese Amberol catalog. I'm hoping to find it as well.

Bootlegs of these records also exist, I have found pictures of them online.-
I found another catalog here, https://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/history-chinese.php, but it is missing the final page.

This catalog has the missing 3rd page most scans omit.
Does anyone on this forum have Chinese Cylinders?

Very gracious of you to post all Chinese pages -- Thank you!

We have a few of these at i78s, plus a mystery 4m Amberol:

Charles. Here's a picture of a 4m Chinese Amberol. I have only found this one photo ever. The mystery 4m Amberol might be 8278.

Chuck, do you think this is the same as the linked? It's only a 1 number difference.

The mystery 4m Amberol is one number off -- 8277.
We know the catalog number, we just don't know the title or performer.

Charles.

Do you have a photo of 8277?

Thank you.
Chuck
