Teasing the Korean Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Are the crowd sounds on these albums, such as the Machito album, fake? They sure sound like it. If so, have they ever been issued without the fake audience? Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Never heard the Machito but the 2 Tatum discs are transcriptions with audience noises dubbed in. I called Gene Norman on this and he "played dumb". Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks. I had one of those Art Tatum albums and unloaded it years ago. I couldn't remember why until I heard the Machito. The Machito album is great, until the tunes start to fade, and then you suddendly hear clinking glasses, applause, and chicks breaking up with their boyfriends. Wonder what happened to the master tapes... Quote
