The Beatles

A Day in the Life
1:43 - Switch click as orchestra comes in (Right)

1:44-2:16, 3:50-4:19 - Mal Evans is heard counting the bars from 1 to 24; only about the first dozen are audible, starting at about three to 12

2:18 - An alarm clock sounds to mark the end of the first 24 bars

2:17 - Right ear - intake of breath

2:18-2:20 - Someone says "One" to mark the downbeat. Quieter, butaudible on the CD is the trailing "two three four" (right)

2:42-2:48 - Just before and after the words "had a smoke", Lennon starts talking and carrying on, most audibly a loud "hoooo" under the word "smoke" (Right)

2:58 - (Left channel) sounds like a cough

4:50-4:52 - A chair squeaking (three creaks total). It's not paper rustling and someone saying "Shhh" after all. If you listenclosely it is in fact just one (or maybe two) chairs squeaking.




All I Got To Do

Squeaky pedal on bass drum throughout song, esp intro.




All Right

During the chorus, the voices singing are not quite together. See Greatest Hits 1966-1970.



All You Need Is Love

0:10 - Nasal intake of breath. Between the lines of the song he can be heard chewing gum! Listen before theline "nothing you can make that can't be made"

0:23 - Plink of a guitar/plectrum (Left)

0:25 - (Right channel) someone speaks". It sounds like "then check it".

1:19,1:23 - Two edits in the guitar tracks, right ear

2:08 - Plinking notes, guitar or banjo sound. Don't seem to fit with song?

3:15-3:18 - Paul makes a few errors in the bass part. His speed varies all over the placethrough this.

As to the Paul V John debate, it is without doubt Paul that sings the "Woh Yea" toward the end, much too mellow to be John. The same voice sings "She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah, She'd Love To, Yeah Yeah".




And I Love Her

1:08-1:17 - Loses double tracking

1:47 - Talking during end of guitar solo

2:10 - Someone "Dum Dum Dum's" the guitar line.

2:24 - Creak,someone leaning back in a wooden chair?




And Your Bird Can Sing

0:02 - John/Paul takes deep breath under the cover of the intro. (Right ear)




Anna (Go To Him)

Bass pedal squeaks through this song.

Any Time at All

1:32 - Talking in solo

1:48 - Edit in cymbals track



Baby It's You

Bass pedal squeaks yet again!

Baby's in Black

1:30 - Bad edit,best heard in right channel, in the words "Babys in black". The strummed guitar appears out of nowhere here, further 'enhancing' the edit

1:44 - Double tracking error :

John (1) says "And though he'll never come back..."

John (2) says "But though she'll never come back..."

2:04 - Right ear, at the very end, there is a rattling of paper.

Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite

1:44- Someone either punched out or faded out the beginning of the line "Having been some days ..." leaving "...ving been"

Birthday

0:40-0:44 - Whispering between vocalists.

2:04-2:06 - Previous take's "dance" shows through, resulting in Paul ending up singing "Daaaannceee/aaaance"

2:32 - Laughter after the drumming stops.

Blackbird

Right at the very start on the White Album,someone says "play" in a high pitched voice.

Chains

0:59-1:14 - Rhythm guitar breaks up badly - more obvious on stereo than mono

1:20 - John - "S'at enough?"




Come Together

1:27 - Someone shouts "All right" in the background before the line "He bad production" (Right ear)

2:01 - Someone shouts "All" before John's "right" (Right Ear)

2:30 - Talking. Especiallyaudible "Look Out!" before the line "He roller-coaster"


Day Tripper

1:50, 1:55, 2:32 - There are two extremely noticeable dropouts near the end of the song. This is not on any earlier mixes of the same take, so it is quite likely that it happened during the mastering stage. Other mixes show a sound at 1:50 that was likely the reason for the dropout, and John's misplaced "yeah" at 2:32, but...
