I have noticed recently (since I have been listening to the original CD or FLAC rips, rather than MP3 - and have recently upgraded my hi-fi to something decent) that there are background noises in a surprising amount of songs, particularly in the intro and outro. Calls of "are you ready", coughing, counting down etc, and wonder, are they intentional ?
I realise albums such as Electric Ladyland etc were recorded, and there was very little that could be done to touch them up, and early Hendrix was probably recorded on the cheap, so coughing etc can be forgiven. But a lot of relatively recent (90s onward) where i assume there is much more play to remove these anomolies if desired.
I have noticed it on a large number of songs, but within the last hour or so i can particularly remember :
Daughter - Vs - Pearl Jam (Intro)
Roll With It - Whats The Story - Oasis (Outro - so obvious it must be intentional)
Purple Haze - Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix Experience (Intro)
Probably a boring point of discussion, but just curious
