Hi Group,  Robbie commented in 011122 MMDigest:

The above is true for the Play-Rite composite recut rolls sold by Ray
Siou.  Roll A and roll B were combined A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3, etc.
Shortened tunes and in numerical order to keep playing speed as close
as possible to original, as Robbie stated.

Siou and Play-Rite also made direct recuts from original Wurlitzer
10-tune rolls which carried the same copyright warning.  I loaned
several original Wurlitzer 150 rolls for recutting and furnished the
missing tunes for one of their recuts that was missing them. They then
reissued the complete roll.

So how does it work with one of their direct copies of an original
Wurlitzer roll?
