Having obtained the multitrack to Fat Bottomed Girls....

After a long hard working week I´m back. Hearing the separate 5.1 channels give us an opportunity to imagine and enjoy how they recorded the tracks of each song. The lacking of a Queen anthology (like the Beatles, of course) directs us to look for new ways and techniques to get more of what we adore, the talent of four performers making music and that´s what they´re considered one of the best group worldwide. I´ve got a doubt my friend, have you already heard the rest of Mooghead´s uploads?

Really decent of you to share all that stuff - thanks.

Great great great, it's like sitting in a delivery room and a get a baby everyday.
Thank you very much

regards
W.

Have added 'Good Company Ambient' and 'Good Company stripped'.

Listen to Ambient through different speakers for more seperation.

In [i]Good Company[/i] track we can hear 'the banjolete' and also all the Brian´s guitar arrangements clearly. This gives to the song a Dixieland jazz band style. Keep on gettin´babies like these n' name 'em little mooghead kids. And talking about little things, can I ask for [i]Crazy Little Thing Called Love [/i]stripped, please please me?

There is nothing to be stripped from Crazy..., its a very basic track. What are you expecting?

Added Dragon Stripped. Not doing Crazy, there nothing to reveal.

Freddie´s voice has a special form to sing it, not high notes but the kind of singing like a rockabilly rythmn. That is.

It's not a banjolele, it's a baritone ukelele. The banjolele was used for [i]Leroy Brown[/i], not for [i]Good Company[/i].

The 5.1 reveals nothing more of it I'm afraid.

My oh my...mmmmm...one by one. For the basic track of 5.1 [i]Crazy Little Thing Called Love[/i], what a pity! No more words. On the other hand, in [i]Good Company[/i], you´re right in the name of the instrument, it´s a banjolele and not a banjolete. But I´m gonna check it out if they played it only in [i]Bring Back[/i] or both. Just gimme sometime, alright?

I can save you the time:

'Sheer Heart Attack' inner sleeve credits Brian for 'genuine George Formby ukulele-banjo'.
'A Night at the Opera' inner sleeve credits Brian (below [i]Good Company[/i]'s lyrics) for 'Genuine Aloha Ukelele'

An Aloha ukelele is a ukelele, while a ukelele-banjo is not a ukelele, but a ... duh, ukelele-banjo.

Now, in the 'Making of...' thing, Dr May uses the banjolele to show how he composed [i]GC[/i], but it doesn't mean he used that same instrument for the recording (same as with Rog playing acoustic on [i]I'm in Love With My Car[/i] or a Fender Rhodes being mentioned for [i]Best Friend[/i]).

Why argue about it? Its a synthesiser anyway...

Added Seaside Stripped

Added Seaside effects. Listen through different speakers for slightly different stuff.
