Does anyone know if the opening lines to Confusion ie. "W/R/W/R and" blah blah blah has any particular meaning?
To me it always sounded like a count in.

Yes, I think its a New York City radio station that was pretty hip back early to mid eighties that was sampled for this track. Think so... :)
Thanks. Always interesting to find these things out.
Another good one is the yelp from Barney at the beginning of the Temptation 12". I think it was described in the Retro sleeve notes, but Hooky said it was because he ran into the studio with a handful of snow and dropped it down Barneys back inside his shirt.
Know of any others???
What about the coughing at the start of Loveless? and the knocking and subsequent "come in" at the start of Thieves?
From the FAQ:
On Confusion, what is WRL?
WWWRL is the callsign of a New York City radio station. It was also one of several Wigan Rugby League chants.
WRL is a soul and R&B radio station in NYC. W-W-WRL is a sample from one of their adverts in the early 1980's, the triple 'w's representing scratching of the record.

So the pie eaters chant that do they? Who the hell has come up with that one?
