Introducing "Memphis the Majestic"; Merle Evans, Director; With caliope.
Digitized from a shellac record, at 78 revolutions per minute. Four stylii were used to transfer this record. They are 3.8 mil truncated conical, 2.3 mil truncated conical, 2.8 mil truncated conical, 3.3 mil truncated conical. These were recorded flat and then also equalized with NAB.
The preferred version suggested by an audio engineer at George Blood, L.P. is the equalized version recorded with the 2.3 mil truncated conical stylus, and has been copied to have the more friendly filename.

1930 Circus Music
Most people will recognize this march, if not by name, as popular theme music for circus clowns. The song was written by Czech composer Julius Fucik in 1897. Fucik was primarily known for his military marches. "The Florentiner March" is probably his second most well known composition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ENUV8rLp5I (Source of date: http://www.78discography.com/vic22000.html)
