Subject of the Post: "I fucked-up" says Emmylou

I was listening to Desire on my walkman the other day and had the volume turned up to max. Right at the end of Oh, Sister after the violins had stopped I heard a female voice say something like 'I f**ked it up'. I just want someone else to confirm this so I know if I've bought a dodgy copy .

Don't let Ben tell you you are having aural hallucinations, there are many here among us who hear what you hear. Just to prove to Ben I still have some of my faculties, I'll list Desire release numbers off the top of my head:

Columbia's "Nice Price" reissue reveals a few seconds of track not heard on the original. At the end of the cassette version of "Oh Sister" you can hear Emmy Lou Harris say "I fucked it up." Then Dylan says "Where?" Emmylou responds "In the verse." On the disc you can only hear "I fucked it ..." The entire conversation is being faded out as it goes along.

Ummm, Ben, what does your Dylanbase hear on this one?
