Very interesting mail call today. This is what appears to be Samira Tewfik's earliest documented record. "God's Name on You Dalanoa Pt. 1 & 2" according to Google translate. Discogs states that Baidaphon releases "Made in Switzerland" are from the WWII years. I have read one comment that Swiss made discs continued into the 1950's. The earliest dated record by this artist on Discogs is 1958. Her voice sounds younger on this shellac.
The Discogs entry for this record shows a blue label with what appears to be B side labels on both sides [one is worn]. It lists the catalog number as BB100901-1/2 and photo evidence reveals BB100901 on both matrices. I panicked at first when I realized this copy that arrived today has BB100900-1 on the A side label! I mean I can't read Arabic, I gotta go by numbers! The younger sounding voice and the wrong number got me thinking "wrong record!" and I shot off a message to the seller in haste.
It appears that the Discogs listing is in fact a misspress with Part 2 on both sides. Upon closer inspection my copy is BB100900-1 on the A side label with BB100900 matrice and BB100901-2 on the B side label with BB100901 matrice. It is the same song with some differences from side to side.
So I started out upset thinking I had the wrong record but as it turns out I have the better correct version of the right record! Woo-flippin'-hoo!
