What is this story ? I never heard about that. Can you say more ?

Hi Maelitta !!!

I bought the album Best Years Of Our Lives on vinyl as an LP back in about 1975 I think. There's a track called Back To The Farm on the album, which when played at normal speed (33.3RPM) on a record deck or turntable, seems to have a very deep slow sound in the background towards the end of the track. It's hardly noticable. I then played the track at 45RPM, which was the speed you generally play 'singles' at and to my amazement there was a voice recorded over the track, but still a bit slurred. My record deck also had a 78RPM speed, which was for records on vinyl before I was born, but never the less I played Back To The Farm at this speed. The track sounded ridiculous, but revealed the voice over as saying:

'If you play this at 78 it makes more sense now, doesn't it?'

With the advent of CD's anybody with this album on CD can't verify or test this out, but I was hoping a fellow more mature poster to this website would know what I was talking about. Surely I can't be the only one.

I wonder was it the late great George Ford having a bit of Fun during Back To The Farm,like he was at the end of side 2?

Hi Stewart....what was the fun he was having on side 2. My memory is letting me down???

Snowy...
on the run out groove at the end of side 2.
George says " You musn't laugh at the end" I think, from memory.
the needle used to stick on my vinyl copy and just go on and on...
Ah,the joys of vinyl you never got that type of thing on cds!
