You are correct Bob...I didn't make myself clear enough. I wasn't trying to say that the track was taken back to trident for remixing and the spoof vocal was added and then released as the 'B' side. Just that it was the only track recorded at the BBC that was mixed at Trident. I suspect that Brian also laid down a guide vocal at Lagham.
My Fairy King - new recording Keep Yourself Alive - new recording Doing Alright - new recording Liar - new recording
Session 5
Now I'm Here - album backing with new vocals and guitar Stone Cold Crazy - album backing with new vocals and guitar Tenement Funster - album backing with new vocals and guitar
=====================
You're right about most. The backing tracks on these above 7 songs are musically 100% identical to the albums except for the lead vocals. The only other difference is mixing, which might account for the differences you're hearing. ******************************
That still doesn't explain a few things, like why the percussion comes in at an entirely different point at the beginning of KYA and the noticeable difference in drum quality between and other elements between the versions of "Liar." I'm not near my collection right now to pull them up and listen, but these examples do come to mind, and I mentioned them earlier in the thread.
