I am working on coming up with some.

The big-horn Victor orthophonics can yield a very satisfying whomp from the right records, either tuba or sax.
We know his work from various California Ramblers and Golden Gate Orchestra recordings on Edison diamond disc, and a multitude of other lateral records under all sorts of band names.
So here is the challenge: what are some great examples of that fat bottom end sound, from Rollini or perhaps others, on 20s lateral electrical dance/jazz recordings? I’d like to find a few to enjoy (and to demo the capabilities of the big horns).
I think the Goldkette sides with Steve Brown are great- he was the originator of plucking the SB if I recall. Not bsx but they sound good on a big Ortho or VT machine.
