RE: Indian - Iraqi 78's

[Jewish Music Institute <jewishmusic...>]

Dear Julian

The person who could tell you about these is the musicologist Dr Sara
Manasseh of London who is a specialist in this music and being of Iraqi
origin herself she will be able to tell you all about these recordings.

I will pass your request onto her.

Subject: Indian - Iraqi 78's

I have just come across a number of 78s which came from a Jew whom I am told
lived in India until 1947.
Does anyone have any info on any of  the following recordings:

  Simeon Jacob on the King record label made in Bombay . They include Adon
Alom and Hatikvah and are sung in Hebrew to an oriental accompaniment.

Selim Daoud on the Baidaphone  and Odeon labels

Jsshac Maroudy on Baidaphon

Hazzan Solomon Mouallim (Iraqi)on HMV  singing Socca Welolab

There are also some Odeon test pressings but they only have arab script
which I cant read but they do of course have matrix numbers which I could
let anyone who is interested have.
