They All Played the Maple Leaf Rag

That's the title of the LP that forms the core of this compilation -- 15 different versions of Scott Joplin's signature tune.

Here we have a total of 27 performances, from the US Marine Band in 1906 to a solo fuzz-guitar version in 2007.  Enjoy a ragtime overdose! (that sounds like a William Bolcom music title, "The Ragtime Overdose")
