The Gramophone Company’s First Indian Recordings 1899-1907
By: Michael Kinnear
28+374 Pages
REVISED, CORRECTED and EXPANDED Edition
First Published in 1994 as: The Gramophone Company’s First Indian Recordings 1899-1908
Revised, Corrected and Expanded Edition with a Lacuna of the first known disc recordings of Tibetan performers
The Gramophone Company’s First Indian Recordings 1899 to 1907, is a discographical study of Indian recordings taken in London in 1899 for E. Berliner’s Gramophone, and at various places in India between 1902 and 1907, detailing all the known or traced recordings of several dialects and musical styles together with a study of the history and development of the sound recording industry in India.
This newly revised study contains numerous additions and corrections, in particular, to the variety of alternate pressings made of these recordings. With illustrations in the text.
Preface to the new edition
When this work was originally published my friend and confidant in all matters concerning discography, the Late Frank Andrews, had advised me that the registers from which a bulk of the information had been gleaned from numerical registers originally maintained by the Hanover factory where the records were pressed.
Sometime later I discovered registers at the Dum Dum factory that gave a different perspective on which recordings were re-pressed at Sealdah, Calcutta. These hand written numerical registers were difficult to read and interpret, however, when assembled, the information revealed that there were more reissued and repressed recordings made at Calcutta, than had been originally documented in the earlier edition.
All this information and some other detail has been added to this edition, along with a series of Tibetan recordings that had not previously been documented, about the 1905 recording sessions, along with some extra information in regard to the 1906-1907 recording sessions.

This exhaustive and complete discography of Indian music issued on microgroove discs and cassettes provides information on over 2,700 recordings of classical and semi classical music of the Indian subcontinent. It covers the period from the early 1950’s to the end of 1983 and also contains information on recordings from the early 1930’s onward that were originally issued at 78 RPM and have been reissued on microgroove discs. The main text of the discography is divided into five sections: Hindustani Instrumental, Hindustani Vocal, Karnatic Instrumental, Karnatic Vocal, and Anthologies. Artists are listed alphabetically and brief biographical information is provided when possible. The recordings are indexed by Raga and Tala (the melody and the rhythm), thus allowing comparison between different recordings of the same piece. An instrumental index is included as are appendices and indexes to artists, music genres and styles.
[NOTE] This Discography does not contain information about Cassette and Compact Disc issues beyond 1983 – but it does provide the origin and source information about thousands of tracks that have subsequently been released on Cassettes and Compact Discs, the origin of which is not usually given in the documentation of these more recent formats.
