The original transfer was made in 2001 from a disk in the collection of Gratz College, near Philadelphia. It was transferred at a turntable speed of 81.4rpm, and sounds at the correct pitch and tempo. It has been digitally edited, including merging the stereo tracks into mono, reversing the RIAA EQ, applying an EQ appropriate to acoustically-cut records, and removing the loudest ’pops’.
Discographic information was provided by Jeffrey Wollock’s article, "European Recordings of Jewish Instrumental Folk Music", 1911-1914, ARSC Journal XXVIII / i 1997.
The tune is a well-known Hassidic melody known by various names, including "S’iz nito keyn nekhtn". This recording seems to have been the model for "Mekhatonim Tants" recorded by the Abe Schwartz Orchestra in New York, 1917. (The garbled opening phrase played here by a momentarily-confused clarinetist is reproduced exactly in the Schwartz recording, carefully arranged as a sort of ’introduction’.)
