The "O" series were recorded in London for the branch of the Aeolian Co.
(dates unknown) and the 4-digit series in New York, probably in 1927 or
1928, to judge by the number sequence, although Charles Davis Smith in
his complete catalog says 1930.  As far as can be determined, Iturbi
never recorded for any other company.

A reminder to all that classical roll catalog detail may be found
at the web site for the Reproducing Piano Roll Foundation (RPRF):
