While listening to the instrumental version of 'A Winter's Tale', I realised that the opening vocal effect in 'You Don't Fool Me' originally came from some backing vocals near the end of 'A Winter's Tale'.
mmmmmmm ..... interesting!

I had never noticed this, although it´s quite obvious !! many tks
you would think they were the same song.
Nice catch.

me too.  can't say I ever twigged on to the fact it's the same.
Joyful the sound
They took some Vocals from A Winters Tale and put it to You Dont Fool me ;)
Good spot. Unless I'm hearing things, it sounds very like the vocal harmony intro to Long Away, maybe slowed down a little?
"Queen is the only band in the world that can play so heavily that your nose bleeds, then offer a silk handkerchief to clean up with."
Since they were limited in Freddie's vocals of that period... Yep, great spot!

*doesn't get it*
Well spotted... only decent thing about that song IMO... I think YDFM is one of the poorest songs Queen ever did. How it got on Made In Heaven I don't know... maybe so Brian can show off a bit? So out of place. Sounds like a Hot Space reject. IMHO.
anyone know when abouts YDFM was recorded?  Is it an earlier recording?  Listening carefully it seems to have that quite raspy sound that Freddie seemed to have in his later songs....  I remember reading somewhere that the vocals could have been some years old but it was Dave Richards who mixed the majority of the song from snippets here and there without too much input from Brian, Roger or John. Any truth in that?

I personally don't think it sounds similar to anything on Hot Space
"Please buy my upcoming album... I need the money"
And that while YDFM was recorded in 91.
