I was just listening to Let It Be by The Beatles, and i heard an extra bit i'd never heard before. At about 1:06 or 1:07, there's like a spoken word. It's inaudible and i don't know what whoever it is is saying, but it's there!

Anyone else ever noticed that? Almost sounds like someone saying "soundcheck"...

You need to listen to it fairly loud to hear it- headphones helps. And it's kinda panned to the right of the mix..

Yes. And Pink Floyd. And David Bowie.

This is only what he remembers, he had no idea who most of his customers were... god knows who else he's made boots fer.

That's pretty cool Grin!

Paul, in "I Want To Hold Your Hand," there's also someone who whispers the word "something" after they sing "when I say that something" towards the end of the song after the bridge. It's pretty noticeable. Go check it out. My boyfriend pointed it out to me when we first started going out. Now, whenever I sing the song I whisper it. :)

No wonder everyone loves the Beatles, they are probably sending subliminal messages through their songs!

Yeah, but that's obviously intentional. This doesn't seem to be, not obviously anyway

Has anyone spotted it yet?

Oh wow, I don't trust them.

I've noticed that ringtone thingy in Rock The Casbah by The Clash, but they ain't the Beatles. And evryone has probably noticed it.

It's intentional in "I Want to Hold Your Hand"? Hm, it doesn't seem like it is to me.

I can't hear it in "Let It Be," Paul. But there are so many different versions of it...I don't know if I'm listening to the same one as you.

I think stuff like that is kinda cool in a way. It's really fun when you find something like that in a song, or when bands add small details that you might not pick up at first.
