Let us not forget the 1926 Rosario Bourdon William Tell recording on Victor
which was used for the Lone Ranger theme until the special Mexican
recordings were made (thanks, Richard Jones!).  I imagine it is a fairly
common record; released in the regular black label popular series, IIRC.
I've had a copy for a few years.
