   [QUOTE=Joolz]I had thought that I had read somewhere the definitive answer to this - ie, it was overspill from an adjacent area. But, sadly, I have checked my sources and can only find speculation.

Let's face it, 'sound management' in the 60s/early 70s was not as clinically controlled as it is today. This applies even more to band's which operated beneath the 'super-star' zone - listening to some albums from that period on headphones is a real eye-opener - you can often hear all sorts of things going on. On one album I listened to recently (from 1971 Abbey Rd) you can clearly hear overdubs being punched in/out, as well as all sorts of background noises.

Excellent observation, I never thought of overspill. If I had to guess, that idea fits the bill.

	I heard it at least 50 times, and still wonder what song from the Beatles was. I dont even think that was a Beatles song, some people say It was a instrumental from Ticket to Ride but Its hard to tell. l
