Obscure bits

2002-06-05 by Paul Marshall

Back again,
Just been listening to Moodies 'On The Threshold...'.
Anyone know what that gorgeous sound is which opens AND closes the album (sort of a deep rumble with glistening bits over the top)? It's tracked right into the run-off groove at the end of side 2, so repeats forever if you have it on vinyl! Is it Mr Pinder's doing - if so, Mell. or what?
Also, in general did the sound FX on Moodies albums (e.g. creaking doors on 'House Of Four Doors', the squeaks on 'Best Way To Travel' originate on 3/8" tapes? Any ideas?
