Nothing to write home about, but I was listening to some 1960s John Fahey (a guitarist Jimmy Page drew much inspiration from) and found a little connection to Queen.
On his Requia album there's a bizarre 4 movement suite called Requiem For Molly where he plays over a diverse bunch of sound samples. Near the end of the 4th movement a sample of a baby crying is used, which I recognized immediately - check it out from precisely 2:34 to 2:38.

I have problems to hear the guitar while the Baby is crying...talking about that crying...do you mean that ?
If so I put my guess on the end of " Mother Love" where we hear that " Going back "sample and the baby crying ?

Exactly - so these guys were both accessing the same sample library.

But replying to the original post, i would say it´s the same baby. Nice find!
To think that Brian during the Jazz sessions in the middle of a storm recorded some sounds for "Dead on Time". That´s the way i prefer, a unique sound that can´t be find anywhere else.

Indeed an excellent exciting find. I must say that Original baby cry sample is longer. Queen used best segment from it on Mother Love

I think someone here actually tracked down that sample library a few years back and posted the entire thing - it's about a minute and a half long.

Strange that Queen used the same library about 30 years later. Nice find - looking forward to listen to it when I get home.

Oh well THANKS for that Wizard.
That's ANOTHER life-long belief destroyed.
I always thought they got the "baby crying" noise by Roger smacking Rufus' backside in the studio one day.
Next you'll be telling me that Father Christmas doesn't exist (He DOES. I sit on his knee EVERY year), and that Daleks have humans inside pushing them round on castor wheels and NOT little green blobby Kaled mutations from the planet Skaro....

Ah glad someone mentioned Carnival Midway. It crops up on so many things still. Well worth adding to any remix of Brighton Rock.

Must be ALL THOSE BREAKS FOR TEA. ....
Who would've conceived that baby cries would be in demand?

Weirdly when Bowie was doing the Labyrinth soundtrack they couldn't get a real life baby to make noises so Bowie did it himself. Get a sample, dude! Don't humiliate yourself further!

I was about to write the same thing. The original poster debunked one of the myths, that the baby crying was Roger´s son. Ahh, queen fans! We´ve got to love their creativity at storytelling :-)
But one of Roger´s sons was used in "Touch the sky", on his record "Hapiness?"- the kid laughing in the beginning of the song:

I don´t know how many more samples Queen used in their records, but from memory:
- Roger´s IILWMC was his own car at the end. I hope i´m not mistaken this story by Van Halen´s Panama where Eddie recorded his Lamborghini for the middle section;
- Brian May´s "Death on Time". The storm sounds in the end of the song were recorded by Brian;
At this time these are the two other samples - homemade samples in this cases- that i can remember.

No Roger's sons. It's Roger's voice.
NEVER heard about the myth of baby's crying at the end of Mother Love being a Roger's kid. I always thought it was a sound from a sample library which it turned out to be truth...
Please, Queen fans, do not relate every single sound on a Queen record with something made strictly by them, be a little more imaginative lol ;)
