Listening to old Hindi songs on YouTube, I came across Miss Wazir Jan - Chhum Chhananana Bichhua Baaje [Raag Jaunpuri] , the date of which seems uncertain. Google search led to
The Gramaphone Company's first Indian recordings, 1899-1908 By Michael S. Kinnear. Many of the pages are available and the list at the end indicates that it was recorded in between 1906 and 1907 but the quality is surprisingly good.

Thanks Swarup. Yes I remembered that song in Chandi Rani, heard many times in Tenali and forgot about it until now. The urdu song is quite nice. Surprising quality given the age of the recording. Good job.
