The Refined Music House, was established by Mr. Thankappan at College Road,
Madurai. A new label –Tas-O-Phone , was introduced. Tas-O-Phone was
distributed by Seethaphone Co. Bangalore. This was under the co-exploiting
agreement with C. E. Woods=Scaven, 7-2nd lane, Beach, Madras, as the agents
for Carl Lindström A.G. The first batch of records were pressed in Germany at
‘Odeon=werke’, Berlin, up to 1932. In this release, catalogue nos. from TS.1 to
TS.34 were included. These were blue label discs.
In the same year, sole agency for Odeon records was given to the Saraswathi
Stores, Madras, and no further recordings were made. The agreement of Refined
Music House with Carl Lindström was not renewed and Seethaphone, the
distributors of Tas-o-phone had terminated their bussiness arrangement with Carl
Lindström and had become the sole agents for “Young India”. In 1934, pressing
of the Indian Odeon records were transferred to India and further pressings were
done by the Gramophone Co. Ltd. Dum Dum, Calcutta.
Further pressing of ‘Tas-O-Phone’ label discs was done at Dum Dum. These
Indian pressings were green in color. The “TS” series had reached 85 titles when
production stopped in 1938. Out of total recordings made in the ME- matrix
series from ME-100 to ME-400, only 170 titles were released by the Refined
Music House.
