Personally i love em, i think they add just a bit of something to the record, especially when you hear the ONE, TWO , THREE FOUR, sort of makes you imagine the recording studio, Who would have done this sort of thing in the recording studio?. Suppose one of my all-time fave spoken intro`s has to be Tony & tyrone

Please operator, anybody know of any obscure ones please

Heard A Copy Of Bricks,Broken Bottles And Sticks - Dean Parrish On A Cd In A Friends Car Once With A Faint Counted Intro!! Had Issue And A Demo But No Counted Intro Maybe Just An Album Thing !!

The CD intro of the Uptights "Shy guy" has the lead in - and years ago I heard a tape of Alice Clark (I think) where she clearly says "How will I know when to come in?" - think Ady C may have that...

Was Rose batiste-i miss my baby, counted in jerry? seem to remember that, also remember one trying to remember which one, where it was counted in then they say "lets keep it tight"

Was Rose batiste-I miss my baby, counted in Jerry?

...or was that Bari Track?

Yep your right jerry, the old grey matter eh Was the little ann track richard used to play a counted in intro?

No mention of The Isonics!? Read the title and instantly thought "Aaaaaaaaahhhhh Shucks"....or is it "Shout"?

I love the Darryl Banks alternate version of I,m The One Who Really Loves You where he seems to clear his nose then says I,m the one, then someone in the studio starts to count in to the start.

The best "A-One, A-Two, A- one, two....intro I know is.....

Roy Hamilton's cut of Let The Music Play on the Kent R.C.A. comp. C.D.

If you shut your eyes it almost feels like your in the studio with Roy !

Fu*kin brilliant!!

Can add

Four Sonics - Easier said than done

The superior unissued version of Bernard Williams - Needless To Say, has it as well

Dave, check out the the Parliaments "This is my Rainy Day" ......

A one, a two, a one, come on ........ This is my rainy day...... Killer!!!

I've got that too, think it was an old sales tape, has "The Airplane Song" on it too. For my money it actually improves the record.
