don't really care what song...just that very first recording session...see how "up" or "psyched" they were
or even how nervous/confident they were

Without wanting to sound unappreciative of Sebastian's fine work, but 63.64% of News of the World has multi-layered vocals?!! [/QUOTE]

Yes:

* We Will Rock You (choruses).
* We Are the Champions (lift + chorus).
* All Dead All Dead (choruses, especially the last one).
* Get Down Make Love (choruses).
* Sleeping on the Sidewalk (3rd chorus).
* Who Needs You (before the solo + last middle-eight).
* It's Late (choruses).

That's 7 songs out of 11. 7*100/11 = 63.6363636363...%, which is traditionally rounded up to 63.64% because the third decimal (6) is equal or larger than 5, which means it's closer to 63.64% than to 63.63%.

Of course, you could argue that the 'oh's and 'ah's on 'Fight from the Inside' are multi-layered... which I disagree with, but even in that case, it'd be 72.73% - still far less reliance on multi-layered vocals than 'The Game'.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Depends on your measurement though... you could do it by the length (in mins/secs) of each multi layered part in relation to the length of that song, or in relation to the album as a whole, and come up with a different percentage? Not knocking it at all as I use your info regularly and admire and repect your dedication. :-)

Yes, absolutely. I think a better way to rephrase it would be: 'The Game has a larger percentage of tracks with multi-layered vocals than both Jazz and NOTW.'

Body Language - just to see Roger, Brian and John's reaction when Freddie said "listen to this beauty - this is a 'definite' for the album"!!![/QUOTE]

Vid for this one is unspeakably delicious!

As much as I love Dr. Bri and appreciate that song, I would be bored by the third or fourth consecutive day of him putting it together.
I wouldn't say the same about BoRhap or Somebody To Love as I think it could have been fun to see them record the vocals where it's the three of them singing as opposed to a single member multilayering something (Brian/guitars, Freddie/vocals).

Maybe some rocker for me... I will go for Rock it (Prive Jive) just because I love the track and I would get to hear both Rog and Fred's versions separately.
