Actually, at a slight tangent, on Clarence Murray's "Don't Talk Like That" on SSS International, the record starts with a 1,2 - 1,2,3,4 count in. There is a clearly audible cough between the 1 & the 2.

That always appealed to me and makes it real - particularly since it stresses that most of the music we love was done "on the cheap" and in one take.

For all you fans of the telephone system. Forget Johnny Baker's 'Operator Operator', or the Light Drivers or Tony and Tyrone. The real deal must be Gene Faith's 'Call the FBI' you hear the money going into the phone box, the full dialled number, then the operator before he even gets through to the FBI to report his baby missing. Brilliant.

Anyone who has the late WIgan spin Connie Questell - Give Up Girl on DECCA must have heard that really odd sort of space age effect a the end of World of COnfusion on the flip. It sounds - almost other worldly.

Just thought of another, but i wouldn't call it a favourite ! The "Mousie & the Traps" tune where half way through it breaks into the "Highland Fling" Could never get me head round that :wicked:

Can just imagine them at the final mix ! "Yeh lads, it's ok but something is missing !" "Any thoughts" " mmmm" "ahhh" "I KNOW BOSS, what prats we are! IT'S GOT NO BREAK IN THE MIDDLE FOR THE SCOTTISH LADS !!!"

The fearful clogging sound in September Jones (or B Sha Rae´s do it) :thumbsup:

The B-side to Lena & the Deltanettes - Turnaround baby Uptown (He´s got the world in his corner or someth like that) has a great :wicked: ring gong sound every now and then. Should have put up file for this for Boxing day but was too late... :ohmy:

The door opening in Spooners Crowd- two in the morning

Always reminds me of arriving at a nighter

and then the footsteps, I always imagine they are walking along a wet pavement for some reason, its a great opening I think :thumbsup:

Best 'attempted' sound effect. If you listen to betty Llloyd - I'm catching on - she sings the lines "You've been breaking our dates, andneglecting to call", and when she says the word "call" there's a pathetic attempt at a telephone ringing in the background. There is, honestly!
