Unknown Capitol A-roll
By Ed Gaida

Recently we received a Capitol "A" roll for re-cutting.  The roll was
originally cut with the long perforations for the Western Electric
Selectra mechanism.

The musical selections are great, however almost all of the label is
missing.  I am going to re-cut the roll regardless, however, having
a tune list would add to the enjoyment.

I have prepared a MIDI file of the first selection using a nifty
simulator, sort of like listening to a Seeburg "K".  Click on the
link below and sit back and enjoy "That Capitol Sound".

Many thanks.
