Reading that Ampico recorded but never issued Mussorgsky's "Pictures
At An Exhibition" is confounding.  I have long thought (for at least
50 years) that that would be a natural, particularly since the suite
was composed for piano to begin with.

Is it possible that the master rolls exist still?  If so, is there a
possibility that new rolls could be cut?  I would pay gladly to obtain
a set and I'm sure there are many Ampico owners that would also
enthusiastically support such an effort, perhaps by subscription or
similar up-front investment.

I'm on record now; let's get "Pictures" into the Ampico repertoire.
