CALL THE FBI (MY BABY'S MISSING) * GENE FAITH * POWER EXCHANGE 109 * UK
Using the telephone as a device to put over a story in song is as old as the technology itself. On this cut is first heard first inserting money into the device then the sound of dialing, after which an operator asks "What number". Then, in a sort of echo chamber, a very anxious Gene Faith asks to be put through to the FBI! He can then be heard shouting out his plea that he feels distinctly uneasy on account of his loved ones apparent disappearance, and how he urgently needs the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to find her again. Great stuff, atmospheric and electrifying.
