Track 24 (I think) of the Bo Rhap mastertape

Anyone care to amplify the bit I am on about and upload xx

Here it is. It's a real Fred singing in that tone.  If you slow it down, it sounds very artificial.[/QUOTE]


Wrong, read the OP again..., that isnt what I am talking about

Yeah I'll do it tomorrow morning if no one else has Moog.

The ‘Galileo’ section was scored for three soloists: soprano and two basses (they overlap at one point). Soprano was recorded on Track 21 by Freddie and on Track 23 by Roger. Bass No 1 was recorded on Track 22 and Bass No 2 on Track 24, both by Freddie. The leak from Freddie’s headphones from Track No 24 shows that Fred had also recorded a very high part for ‘Galileo’, singing two octaves higher than the low one instead of a twelfth.

Amplified in detail:

I don't think it sounds sped up. How can we be so sure it's Freddie and not Roger?

Wow, that does sound sped up. Quite obviously, too. Maybe it was an idea they tried, to perhaps provide more backing vocals. Or maybe it was to provide more definition to Freddie's falsetto part? Who knows.

Check my link Oscar. It most definitely is sped up!

If it is sped up, it can be either Freddie or Roger.

P.S- I just gave another listen and it seems to be Freddie.

Freddies says "galile i o", Roger seems to say more "Galil e o".

And it sounds sped up.

Either sped up or they inhaled some helium ;)

Slowed down, it appears to be Roger:

That sounds like a character from "Lord of the Rings". Yup, pretty sure about it :-)

I think that the first Galileo is Freddie´s, and the second sounds indeed like Roger. I´m only saying this based on the way each one says Galileo.

Freddie clearly says "Gali le i o".

Yeah, I concede it's Roger.

Roy Thomas Baker. And Shrek.
