Condensite, I have the DD version of Ben Hur Chariot Race if you are interested.

Thanks for the offer, Maroongem, but this is one of about a half-dozen cylinders where I too have the disc version. Which format that gets played at any given time depends on what machine I'm near!

Condensite, thanks for the uploads. The Music Box Rag sounds like the kind of ragtime number that Billy Murray and his quartet often sang at that time. I could almost hear their voices when listening to the BA.

Condensite,

Excellent! Thanks for sharing! I haven't spent the time to go through the sound files here....... or over there very much either. I'll have to make some time. ;D

Regards,
