I have a 10 1/2" RCA Victor 'Sample Record', number 09835-2, of Hal Kemp

rejected, and with good reason.  It is a technically terrible recording. 
  You can listen here:

Apparently, they recorded Roustabout again a week later (11-23-37), but 
that one was rejected, also.  I don't see any other attempts.

Does that mean this is the only existing recording of that song by Hal 
Kemp and his Orchestra for the 11-17-37 session?  How many 'Sample 
Records' would have been made?  Would the orignal master have been saved?

Would I be way off base thinking this might be the only known recording 
of Roustabout by the Hal Kemp Orchestra...??  (even if it is kind of 
screwed up)

Comments??

Thanks!  CDB
