I love it! The greatest nightmare soundscape created by a well-known artist which could have sparked some great Experimental minds. It accidentally but in the end seriously reflected the madness that was in the news in 1968 (and even 1969), and mainly from a bunch of studio patter while recording "Revolution 1," a Royal Academy of Music tape (The infamous #9 loop), plenty of sound effects recordings, and John and George just saying words. It turned a simple studio direction ("Geoff, put the red light on") into something more sinister. Genius!
