I have the Duo-Art rolls played by Prokofieff:
6591 - Bydlo & Ballet ...
7029 - Promenade & An Old Castle
7029 was issued by Keystone. 6591 was issued by Artona Studios in
Ramsgate, England, when it was owned by Gordon Iles.
I also have the Duo-Art set made in 1981:
"Complete - Pictures at an Exhibition, 42917A & 42917B"
The "Complete Pictures at an Exhibition" (the American set) was the
brain child of some enthusiastic AMICAN's in the late 1970's. I think
Ian Mavor may have been one but I am unsure of the group. Others may
have clearer memories of the project.
Anyway, John Malone at Play-Rite supported the project and cut the
rolls; that's how I obtained my copies. I do not think they were
'hand played' but the persons tried very hard at that time.
What I would really like is Licensee adaptations of Welte 2165 & 2166.
These are Red Welte rolls, played by G. Romanowsky and recorded in
Russia in 1910.
