soulfulsaint Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I've always had a soft spot for the school bell that rings at the beginning of Ronnie McNeir's 'Sitting in My Class' - what's your favourite sound effect in a soul record?
John Al Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I've always had a soft spot for the school bell that rings at the beginning of Ronnie McNeir's 'Sitting in My Class' - what's your favourite sound effect in a soul record? The whips in "Panic" java script:emoticon(java script:emoticon(
Guest ShaneH Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 crashing glass! i think they use it in cracking up - roy hamilton?? Shane
Pete S Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The Carstairs vomiting during It Really Hurts Me Girl. Oh hang on, that's their singing...
John Al Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 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. John.
John May Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The strings in Big Dee Irwin " You Satisfy my needs ", and the intro to Jimmy Soul Clark " I'll be your champion " Wonderful stuff.......
Pete S Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 That sound at the start of Psychedelic Soul is cool.
Guest Dirk Tiggler Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I don't know if you would call them sound effects but the piano in Lookey,Lookey the start of here I go Again & most of Harlem Shuffle - Ade
Gene-r Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The Carstairs vomiting during It Really Hurts Me Girl. Oh hang on, that's their singing... Think you were right first time Pete! Only they weren't the first to do so.............just listen to "I Lost A True Love" by Danny Wagner!
soulfulsaint Posted March 13, 2006 Author Posted March 13, 2006 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.
Simon M Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The frog like noises on David Sea "Night after Night" Crown Int

Brilliant. True, but Jimmy Norman's got a better ringtone
Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Gotta be the phone intro on "Please Operator " !! WHAAAT !! Man If I Ever See You Again It'll be Too Soon !!!!
Mark B Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 my favoutite is not a sound effect but at the end of hit and rub loleta holloway on the 12" after itsend at 11 and a half minutes some one says right now lets do the album version. mark
Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) Bloody ell somebody beat me to it !!! Actually, another good one is the bottle opening sequence on "Alvin Cash - No Deposit No Return" !! Just sounds so real !! Always sends me scuttling off for a beer !!!no_deposit_snip_mp3.MP3 Edited March 13, 2006 by B-side-B

That cough has always apealed to me too.Clarences_Cough.mp3 Paul
Stuart Bower Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) That sound at the start of Psychedelic Soul is cool. and another 45 had the same start as Saxie Russell on Thomas/Tomas....Yes! It`s quiz time again folks...What was it?? Edited March 13, 2006 by The Soul Intention
Paul R Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 and another 45 had the same start..Yes! It`s quiz time again folks...What was it?? Wasn't it one of simple simons Earl Wright Cover Ups Road to Ruin? Paul
Guest ShaneH Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 cool off i am sure the guy opens a can of beer and pours it into a glass?? Shane
Guest hammy Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 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. Hammy
Pete S Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 cool off i am sure the guy opens a can of beer and pours it into a glass?? Shane It might be pop because he says 'hey you over there, would you like a drink of...pop' no hang on, he says would you like a drink of beer, you're right!
soulfulsaint Posted March 13, 2006 Author Posted March 13, 2006 And what are those sounds effects on Love Factory? Weird techno noises.
Craig W Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The strange snake charmer flute noise from the intro of I've got love for my baby by The Younghearts.
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The sound of a woman sighing. Not on a record....but.......
Soulsmith Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Check out 'Superbs - Wind Is Blowing' for some lovely swirly bits on the intro.
Soulsmith Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Also check out the snake charmer who cuts in after 10 seconds on 'Independents - Lucky Fellow'
Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 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 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 !!!"
Geordiejohnson Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The Harp at the begining of Linda Jones Just cant live my life....gets me going for the floor..then i remember i cant dance Geeoooordie
Guest ShaneH Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 why are many members listing 'instruments' when the question was 'sound affects'??? Shane ps. just an observation
tone5446 Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The car horns in Footsee (only joking ) The laugh in the Joker Always been partial to Clarence Murrays cough too.
Geordiejohnson Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Come on shane .. way back when the sound effects were the instruments or some geezer rattling a chain or farting Geeoooordie
Soulof Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 intro Sweets - satisfy me baby, break in Martha Starrs - Love is the only solution, Rufus Wood - 2001 intro , Dickie Wonder intro (never heard congas sound as powerful as them) allready mentioned Ronnie McNeir are some of my faves
Simsy Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The start of Human Beinz - Nobody But Me Yeah that's a good one. Was thinking of that as I was scrolling down. Any uptempo dancer with a cow bell in it. Cow bell makes it a better dancer for me.
Guest NASHEE Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The door opening in Spooners Crowd- two in the morning Always reminds me of arriving at a nighter
Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Lonette - Mind Intruder...........Spooky weirdness.............great dancer though!!!!!!!!! Carl
Guest andycambs Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 The whistle at the start of New Girl-The Accents Andy
Soulof Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) The fearful clogging sound in September Jones (or B Sha Rae´s do it) 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 ring gong sound every now and then. Should have put up file for this for Boxing day but was too late... Edited March 14, 2006 by Soulof
BrianB Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 The dog that barks at the climax to One Wonderful Moment by the Shakers!
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Has anyone mentioned Popcorn Wylie's (is it??) daughters shaking bicycle chains on Cool Off? Thats pretty cool. Edited March 14, 2006 by in town Mikey
Guest Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 That sound at the start of Psychedelic Soul is cool. and another 45 had the same start as Saxie Russell on Thomas/Tomas....Yes! It`s quiz time again folks...What was it?? I like the sound as well, I think its an alien ship taking off
Guest Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 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
Pete S Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 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!
Guest mrs norman maine Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 The whistle at the start of New Girl-The Accents Andy here I go joining in days later, as usual. The kiss in the middle of Lonnie Russ "Say Girl" .......MWAH!
