Songs with audible studio noise

ned raggett - 'pi'

http://img.crocmusic.com/l/albums/4/lou_reed_metal_machine_music.jpg

most of 'underfed' by plush has plenty of ambient noise all over it

the first track off Belly's King. one of the ELP tracks on Trilogy, them joshin around.

Every song by Sun Ra

pixies surfer rosa

'shall we roll it esojimmy?'

'yeah leave it'

Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comely ("Holy shit!" at the end) and Two Headed Boy Pt. 2 (Jeff putting down guitar and leaving at the end)

Temptation Inside Your Heart - Velvet Underground

Beatles, "Long Long Long" (bottle rattling off a shelf in the outro)

the interludes on the last kristin hersh album. they had a very roomy sound.

I love when you can hear snare drum rattle during quiet bits. reminds me of jamming with my buds. :-) there's a lightning bolt track with some, fer sure.

that "sounds of the studio" track on Something/Anything?

John Cale dragging a aluminum chair to make that grating sound and then tossing chair into a pile of metal dishes on "European Son"

"Here Today."

"Bonzo" Bonham's bass-drum pedal woulda benefited from a generous spraying of WD40.

There's a couple of songs with very quiet studio chatter at the end on A Northern Soul by The Verve - at the end of Reprise someone says "that was amazing", for instance.

There must be millions of other examples.

There's a version of "I feel fine" where you hear someone sit back on a chair during the first feedback note.

Also, "Little Johnny Jewel" Television, has amp buzz during the intro, which adds to the live feel actually mr studio technician person!

John Cale dragging a aluminum chair to make that grating sound and then tossing chair into a pile of metal dishes on "European Son"

I always thought that the grating sound was a toilet being flushed in Warhol's Factory.

Telephone ringing at the end of "Life On Mars".
Chair scrapping and someone going "shhh!" during the tail out of "A Day In The Life".

One of my favorites is "For No One Else" by the Spinanes (clinking bottles, chatter, mocking background vocals) though perhaps they were trying to making it sound like an unenthusiastic live crowd.

Fannypack's So Stylistic record has five studio chatter bumpers in between songs (look for the < 60 sec tracks)

Can anyone find one that has the mouse on their computer clicking to either start or stop the recording?

"The Blimp" - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

^^^ that's not a response to res's question BTW, unless Douglas Englebart was in the studio with FZ at the time...

I like all the stuff at the beginning of I feel like a child. It makes it seem like it's in a movie.

Led Zeppelin - "In My Time of Dying" *cough*

Cracker - "Someday," which ends with:
tick tick tick tick...
"Didja get my watch?"
"I could totally hear that all the way through."

Can anyone find one that has the mouse on their computer clicking to either start or stop the recording?

sorta-relatedly, "Street Flash" off the new Animal Collective EP has this door-creaking sound that always makes me think someone has just signed onto AIM. not sure if that's the effect they were aiming for, though.

Cornelius - Star Fruit Surfrider
Tribe Called Quest - The Chase, Part 2
Four Tet - Harmony One
Impact All Stars - Ordinary Version Chapter 3

Every song by Sun Ra

I like when the phone rings during Atlantis

The DOC - Portrait of a Master Piece

At the end of the Who's "My Generation/Land Of Hope And Glory" Kit Lambert can be heard to say, "That's perfect!"

More famously, Townshend shouting "I saw ya!" to Moon (who was trying to make them laugh while they were recording vocals) at the end of "Happy Jack."

And about 400 Miles Davis tracks where he says either, "How's that, Bob?", "How's that, George?", "Let's listen to that," or "Teo...Teeeeeee-ohh..."

^or when he shouts "Coltrane!" to wake up John for his solo.

"'Bonzo' Bonham's bass-drum pedal woulda benefited from a generous spraying of WD40."

I love when you can hear that. You can hear it on Lifetime's "Emergency" too.

Lots of vintage tube-amp hum all over Grand Funk's red album

"I'm Amazed" and "You Fuckin' Die!" studio chatter (Pixies)

Kraftwerk, on the track "Airwaves" on Radioactivity you can hear them laughing during the extended instrumental break.

Beatles' "Helter Skelter", Ringo shouts "I've got blisters on my fingers!" during the fadeout.

led zeppelin's "since i've been loving you" has either pedal or high hat squeak. the who doing "happy jack" ends with townsend spotting keith moon who had allegedly been banned from the studio.

U2's first (and superior) mix of "Until The End Of The World" has a second of so of studio chatter (Brian Eno saying "OK") before the guitar crashes in. It's on the UTEOTW soundtrack album.

What Goes On: The Beatles Anamolies List is a great catalogue of this stuff. My favorite is on the album version of "Revolution #1," just before the brass section comes in on the "when you talk about destruction," you can hear George Martin count them in with a "1-2-3-4!"

the start of side two of this record:

practically the entire Beach Boys catalog

2:26 Carl says "I love you" it is intentional, but I don't like it

hahahaha

that list actually leaves out some things like the conversation about cameras on "Here Today" or the "Hi Brian!" at the end of "Had to Phone Ya".
