- Giorgos Nodeos, "
Ma giati den mas to les" (Odeon GA 1420, Athens, 1928 or 1929)

Aristomenis Kalyviotis (2015: 107) points out the following regarding the location where the recording took place: "This code [the indication XSC next to the embossed matrix number of the record] indicates that these recordings were made in Thessaloniki.
However, the fact that the Smyrnaiki Estudiantina (Smyrnaean Estudiantina participated in them along with the singer Giannis Tsanakas raised concerns. So, did Tsanakas go to Thessaloniki with his band? Did the recordings take place in Constantinople (Istanbul), where bands from Smyrna (Izmir) had previously recorded for 'Odeon Rec.'? However, in the recordings made by 'Odeon Rec.' in Constantinople (Istanbul), the code XC is written on the records. We cannot therefore give a definite answer to the question at this time."
