The set originally contained 12 records and 2 of them are missing, records #6 & #9. In May 1931 The Kulturabteilung of the Carl Lindstrom A.G. in Berlin issued an important album of 9 ten-inch and 3 eleven-inch records entitled Musik des Orients, which had previously been made in the Orient.

He wrote an accompanying 26-page booklet (22 x 28 cm), one page for each recording, with photographs of the musicians and a description of the musical context, the scales and the instruments.
