...Eldridge (trumpet). Only trouble with the record is that "Stardust," on the other side, has some of the worst recording this reviewer has ever heard. The turn-table on the recorder was varying so badly when the record was made that it changes key about every thirty seconds ... Listen to the first chorus of Art Shaw's "Rose Room." The rest is not so good. Casa Loma turns loose a rather weird sense of humor, recording "The Old Oaken Bucket" under the title of "Hoboken Bucket" ...

When the feed was too slow, the noisy clatter of the mill increased; when too fast, the sound was muffled. Workmen were trained to listen for these changes in sound and manipulate the ore flow accordingly. But Harlowe Hardinge noticed that the listeners' judgment was likely to vary as much as 20 decibels.
