Seek Automatic "G"-Roll 775
By Mark Forer

Dear MMD:  Tim Trager has made an appeal for the finding of an original
Automatic "G"-Roll number 775 or a Freyer re-cut of same, which echoes
my appeal for the same roll awhile back in October 1998.  Alas, no such
rolls have surfaced, but I know they are out there.  I asked Dave Ramey
if he had one to recut, and he didn't, but he would if he had one.
Dave is going to recut two of my G-rolls and eight of my A-rolls.

I am also going to ask him to recut the A-roll counterpart of G-775:
Clark A-637, "Selected Jazzy Sensations" (of which I have on an old
Freyer re-cut), with the following tunes that parallel the G-roll
except for 1 or 2 tunes:

1.  Oh, Boy, What A Girl!  -- OS
2.  What Do We Care If It's 1 O'clock or 2 or 3 or 4  -- W
3.  Sweet Man  -- FT
4.  I'm Afraid I'm Falling In Love  -- FT
5.  I Care For Her, And She Cares For Me  -- OS
6.  What's The Good Of Dreams  -- FT
7.  I Wonder  -- W
8.  Feelin' Kind O' Blue  -- FT
9.  Want A Little Lovin'  -- FT
10.  Give Us the Charleston  -- FT

These rolls have a very eerie, bluesy sound that have to be heard
to be appreciated, so everyone check their "roll-o-dex" and look for
an original G-775 or Freyer recut (not the Play-Rite recut which has
a lot of perforating errors)!

Thanks,
Mark Forer
