Capitol "G" Roll G-510 of 1933
By Jeffrey R. Wood
Capitol G-510 may be the very last Capitol "G" roll to have Capitol
arrangements. I have Capitol A-2443 which has four of the same tunes
and they are all Capitol arrangements. I also have Capitol G-511 and
the arrangements are by Imperial. Both my rolls are recuts purchased
about 24 years ago from Ray Siou for $10 each!

[ Historian Mike Montgomery wrote, "The assets of Capitol Roll &
[ Record Company were purchased in 1933 by Imperial Industrial Company
[ (Max Kortlander), and the final issues of Supertone rolls were
[ produced for Sears by Imperial." It's possible that the last A-roll
[ arrangements were completed at Capitol in Chicago but the same songs
[ in the G-roll arrangements were done later by J.L. Cook at Imperial
[ in New York. See the list of Supertone rolls at
