Identify a sample, anyone?
Posted by Fitter Stoke on 6 January 2010 - 11:42pm.
Evening all.
Drawing on the power of the collective mind; you'll be familiar with the Gavin Friday album called Shag Tobacco? There is a song on it called "Caruso" which ends with a short sample of the great man himself.
Can anyone identify the sample and stop my brain hurting?
Gratze tanto....

Can't place it but this explains a bit more

Co-writer Brian Seezer says:
"I had found this cassette of Caruso singing songs from Naples, and Gavin had the complete set of recordings on CD -- so we sampled about 10 likely sections, and spent a while figuring out where they would work in the track. It was a case of stretching, detuning and retuning to get it right in rhythm, and then just to make it sound completely natural. Q (Tim Simenon's long-time engineer) did a wonderful job EQing out most of the hiss, so that the clarity of his voice came right through. And it worked a dream -- it was like he was on backing vocals."
Hope someone can identify it - I've got a a few Caruso CDs but I'm not familiar enough with them to spot this.
Cheers

There's a whole load of Caruso...
...over at the Internet Archive, so the original sample might be lurking there.
