Audio file QC (Pass One) notes:
Distortion, hiss, pops on records played, buzz on some of the tape clips.
Record tracks are played almost in entirety, plus clips from previously recorded tapes, including Orson Welles doing a voice-over ad and arguing with the technicians. The opening song is "My pet" sung by Sophie Tucker, circa 1928; closing song is "The song of the sewing-machine" by Fanny Brice, circa 1927. No intro, no outro, just a lot of clips and in-studio shenanigans.
