What two gramophones tell us about Vande Mataram
What two gramophones tell us about Vande Mataram. Between the monumental 1938 recording and the 1950 statement lies another, little-noticed gramophone record. The six stanza became four, pressed on a 10-inch HMV record. It was the first time the song was recorded on a gramophone, and the only time it was recorded in the United States. The song was released in 1950.
