NobodysFaultButJimmys Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 In "The Ocean" At approximately 1:37-1:38 into the song and again at around 1:41, a telephone can be faintly heard ringing in the background. Some speculate that this was intentional - the sheet music (printed after the fact) that accompanies the CD box set has the word "ring" printed twice above the percussion tab of this song. Others are of the opinion that while Led Zeppelin recorded the song a ringing phone was accidentally captured in the mix. There is also a noise heard about 1:59 which sounds like someone pronouncing "c" as in "cat". This occurs again at about 2:12. At 4:11, Jimmy Page distinctly hits a G string by mistake.

Me too- even though the actual time in the song that the phone rings has been pointed out, I still can't hear it (not even w/ headphones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
