Jason, the 1812 Overture was produced on at least two other labels. The easy one is that QRS still catalogs two rolls, C-135A and C-136A, which are parts one and 2 of the 1812 Overture. I just gave away a new set of 2 of these.
It is also available on the "88 Note Themodist Metrostyle" label, roll # E 85731. This is a very good version of the Overture. In fact, I got my copy from Dan Wilke's QRS Piano Roll Auction (contact QRS for info on these auctions.)
The Ampico roll catalog (Obenchain) does not list either 1812 Overture or Night on Bald Mountain.
Hope this helps.
