Most of the Turkish, Greek and Arabian pressing masters were still stored at the Hanover factory. After the war the DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON AKTIEN-GESELLSCHAFT began issuing original recordings of THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY on the POLYPHON label (25cm). Around the same time a number of these recordings were released in the USA on the OPERA DISC label (25cm and 30cm). According to the label, the A-side of this record is Çiftetelli Gazel (kemençe ile). In fact the correct title is Hüseyni Taksim (kemençe ile) (side number: 9526 – coupling number 13413). 13 © Hugo Strötbaum www.recordingpioneers.com FABRICATION OTTOMANE courtesy Melih Özaltıner B7 RECORD COMPANY Unknown bootleg firm FABRICATION OTTOMANE (İMALAT-I OSMANİYE) LABEL (tanbur ile) Hüseyni Taksim TITLE Meşhur [Tanburi] Cemil Bey ARTIST COUPLING NUMBER SIDE/FACE NUMBER No. 24 (original side number: 17373 / X-107253) 1617 r MATRIX NUMBER 1906 RECORDING YEAR 25cm (10-inch) SIZE FABRICATION OTTOMANE was part of a group of bootleg labels which were all interrelated: CORONA RECORD, DISQUE ODE, DISQUE POUR GRAMMOPHONE, DISQUES POUR MACHINES PARLANTES, TURC RECORD and two nameless labels.

The flipside - according to the label Tanburi Cemil Beys’s Garip Hicazkâr (yay ile tanbur) - is in reality ‘Külhanbey Kantosu’, also by Hafız Aşir Efendi (original ODEON side number: 31972). Besides, The Gramophone Company never produced 27cm (10¾-inch) records… FABRICATION OTTOMANE was part of a group of inter-related bootleg labels: CORONA RECORD, DISQUE ODE, DISQUE POUR GRAMMOPHONE, DISQUES POUR MACHINES PARLANTES, TURC RECORD and two nameless labels.

ARTIST COUPLING NUMBER SIDE/FACE NUMBER 54296 Cx 1473 MATRIX NUMBER 1907 RECORDING YEAR 27cm (10¾-inch) SIZE For some time I was under the impression that this ‘Djemil Bey’ was Tanburi Cemil Bey. Although Tanburi Cemil Bey’s staple instruments were the tanbur, the violoncello, the kemençe and the lavta, one can imagine a multi-instrumentalist of his stature trying his hand at other instruments as well. In this case the smallest type of ney, the nısfiye. I sent the recording to Cemal Ünlü who consulted ney-players Niyazi Sayın and Aziz Şenol Filiz. Both men were adamant in their judgement: this definitely was not Tanburi Cemil Bey. Recently Cemal informed me that he had established the existence of a ney-player, called ‘Nısfiye Cemil’ and sent a scan of an article by Nurettin Selçuk (see next page). 19 © Hugo Strötbaum www.recordingpioneers.com 20 © Hugo Strötbaum www.recordingpioneers.com OKeh - ODEON No image available Who can help us out? courtesy ……….

Source: Cengiz Şahin. Ahmet Şükrü (Bahçekapı –Tramvay Yolu, Constantinople) was the representative of Lindström labels, such as FAVORITE, ODEON and LYROPHON (on the label: “CHUKRI BEY NAMINE”). Many FAVORITE and LYROPHON recordings begin with the exclamation “Chukri Bey namına!” Ahmet Şükrü also issued records under his own name: INTERNATIONALE CHUKRI RECORD. For this label he drew on Lindström recordings (ODEON, FAVORITE, LYROPHON etc.). Şükrü himself even recorded a number of sides on the FAVORITE label. 23 © Hugo Strötbaum www.recordingpioneers.com ORFEON RECORD courtesy Hugo Strötbaum D1 RECORD COMPANY LABEL TITLE ARTIST COUPLING NUMBER SIDE/FACE NUMBER MATRIX NUMBER RECORDING YEAR SIZE BLUMENTHAL RECORD AND TALKING MACHINE Co.
