Didn’t the end of the record not end with that last note….. the natural but manipulated decay of the piano?
The repeat groove (from memory) contains a reversed recording that repeats, and repeats, and repeats…….
Or was l hearing/imagining things?
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?

@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. |
SGT Peppers…. Run out band l have had two copies, one with the old label and the newer EMI label. l’m thinking now that maybe there were two versions of this repeating track. The OP says he has tested his copy and reports played backwards it’s still a load of noise. The one l remember from my first copy was quite profound and a clear reversal of the recording tape. I will have a listen when l get home for the weekend. It’s been a long time since l did the trick with my original LP and to see how the replacement sounds. If l can hear the swear word in the sentence, or not.
Anyone else have any input on all this confusion with the revolution? Maybe there’s a secret out there somewhere, and the record company had to change the content. Those with early copies have a listen and report back if your pressing sounds different to the sample posted above. |
