Typewriter sound at end of BEATLES mono mix of Paperback Writer! How did I miss it for 50 years?

You get an A. All the other Beatle mono listeners get an E. Turn in your Beatle badges.

 

If it's a typewriter then it was probably played by Mal.

If it's a tamborine, then it was green and borrowed by the Lemon Pipers. I'm clearly out of ideas...

Regardless, it's a nice touch to a fantastic song.

 

From 2012
"Put Another Dime In The WHAT?" - Songs That Mention Obsolete Technology - part 1

and it mentions the typewrite sound effect in the song.

 

Thanks for that!

Wow, I now hear it in other parts of the song after reading that article. Listen at 0:58, it’s NOT the tambourine there, it’s a typewriter sound being played as percussion!

Now THAT’S the post of the thread!

 

Turn me on, typewriting man.

 

It's not the tambourine, at least, not a tambourine being struck in the usual way.

 

Another writing-themed song featuring a typewriter: Kiss & Tell

 

Leaving this to one side for a minute, what was the first Beatles song to contain an actual sound effect? There’s Paul’s dog noise at the end of I Feel Fine which probably wasn’t even deliberately in the mix, what else?

 

The cork pop in Lovely Rita. (sure it's not the first).

 

Yellow Submarine?

Edit: or, perhaps, Paperback Writer!

 

Assuming you mean deliberate instances of sound effects, I can't think of any before Yellow Submarine. But I'm probably missing something obvious.

 

I found this video and it is interesting. Does Ringo actually play the tambourine as well this way on Paperback Writer or is this guy just playing both Ringo and John's parts?

 

The seagulls in "Tomorrow Never Knows"? (Or is that someone stepping on a puppy?)

 

A tape loop of Paul making a fake laughing sound, played back at double speed.

 

Please post this great picture over on the "John Lennon Tambourine Player" thread!!! I would, if I could, but I have no idea how to. Thanks!

Interesting. It is random throughout. Try also around :13 and :58. Pretty clear whatever it is. Not sure about the tambourine either, sounds more like a shaker of some sort.

 

Brian Eno took it one step further (skip to 1.42)

 

He truly was a paperback typer.

 

Babe, wake up. New never-ending Beatles debate subject just dropped!
