I try to locate the original ENGLISH 78rpm recordings listed below by
the two African-American artists John Payne and Roland Hayes. All
recorded in London. None of the eight titles are held in either the
British National Sound Archive or the Library of Congress. Surely copies
must be around, somewhere...

I would like to obtain scans of the labels (both sides), and eventually
digital sound transfers for a CD-reissue.
Some of the Roland Hayes Aeolian Vocalions have also been issued on
American Vocalion, and Supertone. I have never seen the labels of the
Supertones. Can anybody help, please.
