Banter between tracks on records.

[seeformiles]

How about all the ads inbeween the songs on the Flaunt It LP by Sigue Sigue Sputnik?

I used to hate hate hate that they did that, now I quite like it.
At the time there was talk of all LPs selling the gaps between songs and it seemed like a terrible idea.

I still absolutely hate the radio bits Cheeseburger do between songs on their LP.

Does anybody care about Cheeseburger?
Famous for having an adult swim animator on guitar (they were on the label)
This whole LP feels completely unfinished. It's got some great songs but also a load of faff that should not have been let on. . . also very notable that it's just guitar and drums, but in a way that doesn't sound like that was intended. . like they just didn't finish the recording or mixing (They are a five piece band on all other recordings)

Oops gone off topic.

The Who did lots of fake ads and jingles on “Sell Out”

I was sad that all the adverts from the 'Movin With Nancy' TV special didn't make it onto the LP. They are all pretty great.

There's a Tom Waits live album where the banter is removed and on a separate disc, like disjointed spoken word/stand up. Not sure it works out of context.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Oh My Golly! was the first to come to mind for me

I like that one. It's like a short story / prose / poetry.
It starts off. Who is he talking to? Why is he angry? Sound like a jerk
It's to a woman? Why? What a tit.
Oh plot twist, it's the invisible listener that has got the wrong end of the stick and (probably) unfairly berating the protagonist.
Great story.

Oh, Dexys Don't Stand Me Down album. The very magnificent -

This Is What She's Like

Very groovy

In a similar vein it’s just as well this didn’t make it on to a Stones album (great guitar sound though)

I have this single.

Kacey Musgraves' gran, at the start of This Town:

We had a girl that came in with a drug overdose the other day
And she got real belligerent
And she bit one of the nurses (oh, man)
And, I mean, she bit, you could see every tooth
It took two or three of us to get her off of her
It's a crazy Wednesday

Roy Harper has a pre-track ramble:

Producer: “Rolling!”

RH: “A joint. I want everything laid on when I get in there next time”

There's also one where he's got a spider walking on the microphone, can't remember the exact words right now

One of my favourites has always been "What number is this one Chip" before Daydream Believer by the Monkees.

I must have a rummage as I’ve got several 7” 33rpm records with about 8 tracks each - produced by the likes of Kellogg’s and Lyon’s - each track edited down to about 2 mins or less. Working in kitchens in the 80s, I used to get promotional cassettes with catering sized jars of Hayward’s pickles as well.

There's a bit on Totale's Turns (The Fall, and slightly different because it's live) where Smith says, in 1980)

"Are you still doing what you did two years ago? Yeah? Well don't make a career out of it."

Which is deliciously ironic now but really meant something at the time.

Also, the best introduction to Rowche* Rumble

"Last orders half past ten"



*Rowche was also a clever way of not getting sued (as opposed to Roche). My brother was in the Glaxo Babies and they had to change to Gl*xo Babies under threat of litigation.

wow that would be awesome. I had a thing for records and tapes of advert, tv themes and computer game music in the late 80s / 90s I bought loads of trash.

Just found out that someone actually compiled a book of MES's:

Bob Nickas & Nikholis Planck, Slang King: M.E.S. on Stage with the Fall 1977-2013 — At Last Books

Slang King brings together nearly 40 years of Mark E Smith on stage with The Fall. A compilation of his intros, outros, socio-political commentary and heckling of the audience. Edited and with an introduction by critic and curator Bob Nickas and accompanied by more than 30 of Nikholis Planck’s drawi

Also, I take it we're counting samples off of films as being a separate category?

Also, London, England, consider yourself warned.

There's banter all over this Gary Numan track though its probably scripted.

 

[andysays]

The expanded edition of the album Moanin' by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers has a bonus track consisting of 30 seconds of warm up and conversation between Lee Morgan (trumpet) and Rudy Van Gelder (engineer) about how close to the microphone Lee should stand to play his solo compared to the ensemble playing.

Yet now with monetised youtube and spotify it's almost exactly what we've come to expect, advertising between tracks

Favorite answering machine message on an album?

Mine has to be the totally non-decipherable first 15 seconds of 'This Is A Bad' by Goldie

Ha, there's one BT used that was (seems to be anyway) a message suggesting a collaboration - so he made a song with it....

 

[rubbershoes]

Most of Alice's restaurant is just banter with a little music thrown in

 

[mojo pixy]

Also on answerphones, there's Providence by Sonic Youth off Daydream Nation. Dreamlike and sort of otherworldly...



OK I've finished being off topic

Nice! This also reminds me of the Armand van Helden on on 2 Future 4 U which is two minutes of random bits of his answering machine

That reminds me. The Cicone Youth LP has bucket loads of 'art chat'


It's a whole album of filler and 'between song ramble'. . . . I quite like it though, I really enjoyed it as a teen.
Side note. Pussy Galore thought Sonic Youth were covering the Beatles White Album in its entirety so covered the entirety of the Rolling Stones Exile

Stewart Copeland at the start of this track



At 4.46, Andy Partridge

Too late to edit, but it's Robyn Hitchcock on the Dolby track, not Andy Partridge.
