I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???
I've been listening to Since I've Been Loving You but maybe it was lost in the transfer to CD because I remember hearing it in my youth (better ears?) on LP.
Do you hear it on your system and if so, does one media convey it better than another?

I can easily hear Ringo's chair squeak as well as the various pianos' overtones in the piano fade-out of Day in the Life. Final chord and completion 
Following the final orchestral crescendo, the song ends with one of the most famous final chords in music history.[57][67] Overdubbed in place of the vocal experiment from 10 February, this chord was added during a session at EMI's Studio Two on 22 February.[68] Lennon, McCartney, Starr and Evans shared three different pianos, with Martin on a harmonium, and all played an E-major chord simultaneously. The chord was made to ring out for over forty seconds by increasing the recording sound level as the vibration faded out. Towards the end of the chord the recording level was so high that listeners can hear the sounds of the studio, including rustling papers and a squeaking chair.[69] In author Jonathan Gould's commentary on "A Day in the Life", he describes the final chord as "a forty-second meditation on finality that leaves each member of the audience listening with a new kind of attention and awareness to the sound of nothing at all".[70]

@mylogic "The repeat groove (from memory) contains a reversed recording that repeats, and repeats, and repeats……." "Never to see any other one..." ...And you would be well advised to turn down the volume a bit before it comes on. I don’t know that this has actually been reversed because when you listen reversed, it is just as bad. This track was not included in all versions of the media. Some of the CDs don’t have it, but my copy does. And on the CD, it does come to an end. |
That is the one l remember on my copy. Worth the price of the record alone. I didn’t know there were variations in pressings. I dare say that those with auto-changers never got to hear that it was there. The run out lift mechanism would have activated before the inner band. One thing for sure is, the engineer who cut the original master was highly skilled at timing it to perfection. Spinning it backwards some peoples ears picked up a swear word in there somewhere.
@saugertiesbob l’m afraid it’s up to 43 posts now, but on a new subject. On your retirement debate….. For every year you retire early, statistically you could have those extra years added back onto the end of your life. Depending on the job, working right up to the legal retirement age run out groove can be a killer. |
