Yes there is a Binson tape delay unit and a Clavioleeneee with an aloofness
quality plus some step ladders in the studio. If Bum Titty Bum Titty Twang Twang
Twang and dropping marbles down the toilet and a load of people banging objects
in time then it's a must see film. Why did Joe wail into a tape recorder when he
could simply touch his head and let Geoff Goddard immediately play the tune
along with a running comentary ! At least in this scene Joe twiddled about and
produced a nice reverb effect.If inaccurately portrayed scenes or made up ones
worry you then take them as a film makers right to do so.
You see I can do a valid but relatively short review after all.
I've only seen the film once but as a Joe aficionado I'm still trying to work it
all out and why .
