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 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.

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'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 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.
