"Maple Leaf Rag" was the Joplin piece found most often on 78 rpm records. [19] In November 1970, Joshua Rifkin released a recording called Scott Joplin: Piano Rags [24] on the classical label Nonesuch, which featured as its first track the "Maple Leaf Rag".

I realise the information page is a bit unclear - Commons:Uploader ruined format and made things rather more unclear, but it's a user-made recording by Apatterno, (see User_talk:Apatterno#Maple Leaf Rag). I'll notify him of this, and fix the page. =) Shoemaker's Holiday 22:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
