Back in 2012 Peter Liebert made some DD's and Berliners, but he stopped production in 2013.
Norman Bruderhofer offered a single sided DD Advertising Record in either 2013 or 2014. (sorry, I don't have a copy to post video/audio right now)
Let us not forget (SIde A)

Nationall Airs of the Allies (Side B)

Berliner Repro:
(playing too fast - my pitch control didn't go slow enough)

Thanks.
Actually, I'm referring to the ones being made by Don Wilson.
He demonstrates one on YouTube: Diamond Disc Test 1. It is nothing short of miraculous!

Unfortunately, the numbers that I'd like to see on your most interesting recast records would probably not be a commercial proposition for you to produce.
First, I'd like to get a copy of the Edisonians playing "Rhapsody In Blue". This is a beautiful performance, with Frank Banta Jr. at the piano.

The other selection would be "Radio - Fox Trot and Song" by the Atlantic Dance Orchestra
https://youtu.be/_ZJF-zN7eXw?t=1m14s
Unfortunately, I suspect that these titles are not in sufficent demand to be worth your time.
Of course, if someone had nice copies of these records for sale, I would be most interested.

That's a good idea.
List some suggestions on discs you own in VG or better or even ones that you think are NM that you would be willing to lend Don. Potential buyers could vote for them here on this thread.
I like the Hot Jazz numbers best.
