Single Roll Duo-Art "Rhapsody in Blue"
By Dan Wilson, London

[ In 010727 MMDigest Lee Munsick asked about a single roll version
 [ of "Rhapsody in Blue".

A recut of the British roll it probably wasn't, but either QRS or
Play-Rite did a one-roll Duo-Art recut.

The reason I say it probably wasn't one of the UK issue is that the
Aeolian Company inserted a final resolving major chord at the end of
their original Roll #1, and the modern recut includes this.  For a
proper performance this chord has to be removed and a decent gap
allowed.
