Obscure Audio 2: Orson Welles Outtakes - Frozen Peas

Orson Welles, American actor, director, writer and producer, who worked extensively in theater, radio and film, creator of the epic "Citizen Kane", which is often touted as the greatest movie ever made, heard here getting frustrated with some studio personnel as he attempts to narrate some badly written commercials that he clearly finds quite annoying.
Notes: (from Wikipedia): Frozen Peas is the colloquial term for a blooper audio clip wherein American filmmaker Orson Welles performs narration for a series of British television advertisements for Findus. The clip is known informally as In July, or Yes, Always, based on several of Welles' complaints during the recording.
The British Film Institute database lists the titles "Findus: Lincolnshire (Peas)",[1] "Findus: Sweden"[2] and "Findus: Far West",[3] all dated 1970, and attributed to the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency. It can thus be presumed that the session took place in 1970, at a British recording studio (likely in or near London).
BFI also lists four more 1970 Findus advertisements with place names: "France",[4] "Highlands",[5] "Normandy[6] and "Shetland".[7] These may be part of the same series, and possibly also voiced by Welles.
It is not known whether a complete recording of the session exists (since, for example, the "multiple takes" Welles alludes to are not exact on the recording as circulated, and the recording transitions between different commercials). It is also not known whether film copies of the final advertisements exist in the BFI National Archive.

    @@sabatino1977 I think I see. So, "green" and "crumb" are a fundamental category of balloon / coating, whereas "big" and "crisp" are relative, vague, less essential descriptors that are comparatively just a notch more vestigial than a more defining objective category. Something is only big or crisp in comparison to something less so. But something either factually is or is not green or comprised of crumbs, hence getting closer grammatical placement to the noun.

    The following transcript is from Jonathan Lynn, who talked with Welles about the background behind the directors getting him for the recording: One night he told us about his voice over for Findus frozen peas. “An ad agency called and asked me to do a voice over. I said I would. Then they said would I please come in and audition. 'Audition?' I said. 'Surely to God there’s someone in your little agency who knows what my voice sounds like?' Well, they said they knew my voice but it was for the client. So I went in. I wanted the money, I was trying to finish Chimes at Midnight. I auditioned and they offered me the part! Well, they asked me to go to some little basement studio in Wardour Street to record it. I demanded payment in advance. After I'd gotten the cheque I told them 'I can’t come to Wardour Street next week, I have to be in Paris.' I told them to bring their little tape-recorder and meet me at the Georges Cinq Hotel next Wednesday at eleven am. So they flew over to Paris, came to the hotel at eleven - and were told that I had checked out the day before." He chortled happily. "I left them a message telling them to call me at the Gritti Palace in Venice. They did, and I told them to meet me there on Friday. When they got there I was gone - they found a message telling them to come to Vienna." Now he was laughing uproariously. "I made them chase me all around Europe with their shitty little tape recorder for ten days. They were sorry they made me audition."

    Paul Hunt played this audio for me about 1985. He told me he was the audio engineer. Orson always used his own audio engineer and Paul was that guy. This recording came from Paul's personal collection. He also showed me footage from a lost, last film by Orson. Paul told me many stories over a bottle of whiskey. So when "The Other Side of the Wind" came out I had to see it. There was Paul's name with sound credit. So I guess Paul told me the truth. Thanks Paul Hunt.
