88n G&S arrangements are a dime a dozen in England, but they're all the
"Savoy Memories" medleys which were put together c1904 by ? H M Higgs ?
for Aeolian 65-note and I only really like the "Trial by Jury" one.
Rex Lawson has very recently done a quite splendiferous four-hand rendition
of Charles Mackarass's arrangement of Sullivan's jumbo suite of hits,
"Pineapple Poll".  Available on two giant rolls from Mike Boyd in Rye
(see resources list), it just sparkles. This is a case of the revival
being better than the original - a thing that seems to be becoming
standard in the roll world these days.

For the Savoy Memories rolls, there are pretty well always some in
the Post-Bid Enterprise auction lists (Frances Broadway, see
resource list).
