Tango Piano Roll Arranged by Ellis Linder
By Larry Emmons

I dug out this great old roll that is my favorite of the month,
so to speak.  There is no manufacturer's label.  There are large
numerals on the box "20467", followed by "TANGO SPECIAL NO. 2.
(for dancing) -- Introducing (1) Buena Vista; (2) La Sombra 47;
(3) Union Civica: (4) Juana Naco.  -- Arrangement by Ellis Linder".

Anyone have info on this suburb old recording?

Thanks, Larry Emmons

 [ I believe Ellis Linder arranged for Aeolian.  I found
 [ two of the tunes on the Internet:
 [   La Sombra 47 (tango) by Juan M. Mallada, 1913
 [   Union Civica (tango) by Domingo Santa Cruz, 1904
 [ -- Robbie
