Limited Centennial Edition. c. 1986 by Recorded Treasures, Inc. 
Welte Legacy LCC 5860/73.  

This is from Welte-Mignor "Vorsetzer" piano rolls. Passed on to Richard Simonson by Welte, these recordings are from the master-rolls,  stored during World War II in a cave.  Eventually, they were obtained by Walter S. Heebner, a record producer from RCA Capitol, etc., who put a well-functioning instrument,  the rolls and considerable recording expertise together and made these recordings.  
The piano was the 9' Steinway 261, reserved for Artur Rubinstein's west coast appearances. 

I don't know how many of these rolls have been on LP or CD previously or subsequently. I've not seen this before and don't believe it was available in stores.
To these ears, these rolls sound more believable than those made using the other systems, with more definition of the distinctive sound qualities of each pianist.  **************************************************************** The vinyl album is in Near Mint condition... a wonderful play! The labels are in excellent condition with no wear at all The album cover is in Near Mint condition (see pictures for details) A TOP COPY!
