mister_tmg 1st Jun 2016		Jock_Girl: I found a 78 which looks like the link to the Indian 78, but it doesn't have "Made in India" at the bottom. It has "Made in China" on the run-out groove. Popsike Auction I simply couldn't believe that the Indian pressing was the original release. Yao Li was recording in Shanghai at the time. I've just found this when looking her up again: The three major record companies active in Shanghai [were] the British-based EMI (China), the American RCA-Victor and the local Great China Records produced popular songs in their own studios with their own contracted artists and promoted them all over China and abroad. By the end of 1930s EMI (China) controlled most of the Shanghai popular music market and most composers, arrangers and female singers signed exclusively to EMI during the most crucial stage of their careers. THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND POPULAR SONG IN 1930S AND 1940S SHANGHAI A HISTORICAL AND STYLISTIC ANALYSIS And ‘The Greater China’, ‘Shanghai Pathé’ (later ‘EMI’), and ‘Shanghai Victor’ were the three largest record companies and key players in Shanghai as well as in China during the first half of the 20th century. Due to this rapid development, Shanghai and China’s recorded music industry boomed during the 1930s and 1940s despite the Great Depression (Figure 2). a brief history of china’s music industry – part 2: the recorded music industry in china from the early 1900s to the late 1940s



xiphophilos 1st Jun 2016		Generally, we don't have historic flags on 45worlds: no Austria-Hungary, no Deutsches Reich, etc. One could argue, of course, that it would be neat to have them. The appropriate flag in this case would be that of the Republic of China, which is still flown over Taiwan (whose official name is, in fact, Republic of China), but was in use on the Chinese mainland from 1928-1949. Right now, we have that flag available, but the name associated with it is Taiwan.



Jock_Girl 1st Jun 2016		Are you sure that your entry isn't simply just a dupe of https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/35500? Although made in India, it was no doubt for export to China. Plus -- given the geo-poltical turmoil of the time, would China's record industry be up and functioning? Finally -- I do not think it is appropriate that releases from China prior the 1948 be illustrated with the flag of the People Republic.



mister_tmg 22nd May 2016		From what I can gather, the famous side - "Rose Rose I Love You" was recorded on December 22, 1940 in Shanghai. That would mean the release date of 1941 found on other sites is more than likely correct. I also believe this is the "original" release of the recordings.
