Godzilla Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 More surf than soul but it did get spins on the Scene: The Centuries - Jack 23 on Cleopatra. And here's a bit for trivia fans - the psychedelic noises on the intro were also used on a UK EP, namely The Daleks on Gerry Anderson's Century 21 label. I guess the sound must have originated on a library sound effect record or something. Godz Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The ONE and Only Soul record with the best ever sound effect just has to be "Darkest Days" by Jackie Lee on ABC records. This was the first of only two records EVER recorded that include the lead singer playing percussion riffs using their own false teeth as castanets. Just listen to the intro to "Darkest Days" and you will see what I mean. As a matter of interest, the 2nd record to feature this (almost) unique sound was "Dance Away" by Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music. Again, a quick listen to the first refrain will confirm this!! Is it me? Neil Jones Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
