magic transistor radio (organ, synths), radio tuning sound effects,
an unused keyboard cue (multiple stacked pianos, electric piano,
organ), and ‘wind’ sound effects (strummed piano strings, Moog white

impossible; Brian remained in the Netherlands after the others
departed for tour August, and it was reported that Carl planned to
