Please feel free to print and pass this list to any collector you may know of, and encourage him or her to submit any data on the following records. I'm not necessarily looking to buy all of them, but more importanly, I'm looking for people who own copies of these records, who can look and listen to them:

If you have any of the following Aeolian-Vocalion discs, please inspect them for matrix numbers, and to confirm side designations, whether the songs appeared on the "A" or "B" side.
