For some time I have been curious about the gaps in the Audiographic
rolls listed in Charles Davis Smith's "Catalog of Duo-Art Rolls".
I have three or four of them and several years ago Eli Shahar and Joe
Orens sent some titles to MMDigest. Recently I received a substantial
list from Bill Koenigsberg. I want to thank Eli, Joe, and especially
Bill for contributing to this list.
Below I list all the Audiographic rolls in the National or U, W, Y
series I now know of which are missing from Smith. Sorry, the columns
do not line up very well. If anyone wants an Excel spreadsheet file,
please write me individually.
An interesting side issue is that apparently the box labels on both
the Fr- rolls spelled his name DeBussy [with capital 'B'], although
the notes inside had it Debussy. The several Debussy rolls in the A-
series I have seen printed the name in all caps so the issue did not
arise.
If anyone has others to contribute I would like to hear what they are.
If I can fill in more of the blanks I will list them again.
