Dave Brubeck-Take Five


On the original LP of "Time Out", didn't Gene Wright laugh at the end of "Take Five" with a reference in the liner notes that it was relief at making it through the track? The laugh is gone from the CD re-issue. Anyone have the LP? Or a memory unaffected by the excesses(!) of the Sixties?

I have listened to the LP version, of Take-Five and I have heard no laughter at the end.
unsquare dance is on at least SIX currently-available cd's. just checked cdnow. took me, maybe, 30 seconds. 'corse i'm on a cable modem. probably take, say, 1 1/2 minutes to get this info with a 56.6. cmon' guys, one would think you know how to use the 'net!
I think the laugh is on one of the tracks on Dave's Greatest Hits CD. My financee has that CD, so I cannot play it right now to see which one it is. Obviously on whatever original album the song is from.
I also remember the laugh. But if my (very) ancient memory serves me correctly, I believe the laugh occurs at the end of UNSQUARE DANCE and not TAKE FIVE.
I'm not sure about Wright and Take 5, but Joe Morello has a good laugh at the end of Unsquare Dance on Time Further Out. Anyone who can listen to this track without tapping their feet is stone-cold dead!
I pulled out a near-mint mono original "Six Eye" copy I was lucky enough to find at a Half Price Books (CL-1397) and gave it a spin. Alas, no laugh, no reference. Sounded GREAT though.....
I got out my CBS/Sony Japanese pressing (which I forgot that I had)and there is no mention in the English notes on the back of the jacket. So, I had to listen for the first time in guess how long. No laughter, but real drums on vinyl are great. I could be persuaded to believe that it was there, but I can't find my original domestic pressing which must have gone out on a move since I had the better pressing. Sorry, maybe someone else is that old or could claim they found it in a garage sale.
