Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
At the end of Pink Floyd's 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon, on the track "Eclipse", a section of the orchestral version of "Ticket to Ride" can very faintly be heard beneath the closing heart-beat sound effect. It is believed to be from this album. Before digital recording, recording tapes were wiped and re-used. It is possible that the tape used to record the heart-beat sound effect was not properly wiped and formerly had this track on it, if it was a deliberate inclusion by the band, or if it was playing in the background of Abbey Road Studios when the part of the track was being recorded, the latter theory being the most accepted.
