This is a still from the soundtrack to "The Days of Pearly Spencer" by David McWilliams, from 1967. Played a lot on the pirate stations of the era, thanks to Ronan O'Rahilly. Allegedly, McWilliams couldn't make it to the studio to do the vocals so he called-in from a phone - which gave the recording its distinctive, haunting sound. Whatever, I don't recognise the phone. The full video - if it helps identification - is here: https://youtu.be/4VDS8uArR0A?t=4 |

On the Caterina Caselli version, I think they recorded the percussion and orchestra up the telephone!

The Ballymoney Times reports that the telephone vocal was done by singing through a loudhailer in the studio.

I suspect we'll only ever get to the truth if someone can persuade Ronan O'Rahilly to surrender the details. Whatever, I find it a fascinating and inspiring example of the use of a [pseudo]telephone effect in a commercially-successful record. |
