Strikes me as odd, though+ADs this is on Decca but I read that George
Martin did the Goon Show records for Parlophone. EMI wasn't using
audible buzzers in the tape era, but rather a red light. No idea what
Decca did, but the buzzer sequence at the beginning of the selection
sounds rather Victor-ish. I'm guessing the buzzer was intended as part
of the cut.
