There's a story of a producer hiring a bunch of guys to recreate a sample for this reason.
He booked the studio + musicians, tracked the sample, got it very, very close.
But it just wasn't the same.
So they used the original, but they said they used the recreation. Since all the billing, etc. existed, who could prove which they used?
True? I dunno, but I always wondered if it was about Bittersweet Symphony.
