I remember when the album was released and bought a copy. Much was made at the time that this was a real call: one of the PF guys (don’t remember who) told a friend in the UK that if they received a call from “Mr Floyd to Mrs Floyd” just hang up.
The genius part was the the real phone operator quickly tweaked onto the fact that the call was to Mrs Floyd, who should have been alone, but a man answered…
- billpg 5y agoThat was a real operator? I can grimly imagine someone calling the phone company to locate her so she can agree to appear on the published record. "No, we made a call an hour or so ago. I'd like to speak to the same operator who placed the collect for us please."
- jbledsoe2112 5y agoIt was a real call, but staged.
- UncleEntity 5y ago> The fake collect call from the US to England… Yep, unfortunately TFA got that part wrong.
- jbledsoe2112 5y agoWell, it was staged. There obviously no Mr. or Mrs. Floyd. :)
