Description
Music of the Orient.
12 10” Parlophone records , MO 100-111 in album with 24 page booklet, copyright 1934.
Chosen by Dr. E.M.. von Hornbostel
The recordings were made 1926-1933 throughout the orient.
Parlophone MO 100-111. Small scratches on 2 sides, otherwise appear unscratched and with full luster. There is a long vertical tear along the outside left side of the back of the spine.
All sides seem to be electrically recorded. Except for 108, 109 and 110, the matrix numbers of which bear the “C” prefix, indicating the use of the later EMI electrical recording system they used from April, 1931, the remaining matrix numbers bear the prefix “W” as well, indicating the use of Western Electric’s system, 1926-March 31.1931.
These seem to be the same recordings dubbed onto the Folkways LP with the same name and the various listings thereof give content detail.
Side 5. Very small pressing bubble
Side 16. Siam. Diagonal 1" scratch will sound
Side 21. Egypt. 2" vertical scratch will sound
Occasional scuffs, probably silent, on a few but by no means all sides.
Clearly, the set has been played.
