Well the funny thing is, I always find that the studio doesnt make the sounds I want. Ive got my own studio now and Ive had it for a long, long time. But in some of these studios, all of the sounds seem to have been taken out and Id have to use the corridor outside of the studio to get the sort of sound that I wanted. And thats why Jim Horn was sitting on the lavatory blowing his horn with a microphone down at the other end of the room, on the other end of the corridor. Because it got a better sound than I could get inside the studio, you know? If I used an electronic reverb, I could have gotten a similar sound, but it wouldnt have been organic and really pure and authentic. Authentic lavatory sounds! - Jeff Lynne on recording the Traveling Wilburys albums (Ultimate Classic Rock, April 2013)
