Not sure why anyone'd want to buy ANOTHER copy of KYA though......

But that's a whole other can of worms, especially now that the 1972 acetate version of KYA has been heard.

Sorry, I might be missing something here, but are you referring to the De Lane Lea-demo, or is there another acetate version?

This version is a revelation - kind of a half way between De Lane Lea and the studio version. It's from an acetate of the debut album with the other 9 songs being identical to the album, which suggests they made a last minute decision to re-record the song, possibly as late as 1973.

^ and here's a thread about it.

Thanks Bob! I guess that's what I get for not keeping a close eye on this forum all the time!

I'm keeping a close eye on you too, but don't restrain yourself from licking and sucking "Bob" because of this.
If you feel that your image on this forum will increase because of this forceful association, then go for it.
Compared to you Tommy, we are a bunch of public college idiots anyway.

Let's just quote this in full, so he doesn't try to edit it into something less...sociopathic.

There's something deeply, darkly wrong with you, isn't there? "Keeping a close eye on you", LOL. That's not sick at all...

It's pretty impressive that you managed to fit cyber-stalking, an inferiority complex, some less-than-subtle sexual issues and an epic-fail attempt at threats into little more than 50 words, though. So bonus points for keeping it compact and concise.

It's fair to have a few LOL from time to time, because I had so many since I've discovered you that I almost feel embarrassed.

But why would they even do that - especially when the band had an exclusivity deal with Trident ?

I don't think there was ever such a deal (though of course I could be proved wrong with something like a scanned contract or something like that).

The person who copied it at Sarm did it so the song could be remixed elsewhere IIRC, there's nothing wrong with that.

When Queen were doing 'Sheer Heart Attack' they were still with Trident but that didn't stop them from recording at Rockfield, AIR and Wessex.

It's not just Trident anyway: artists who were signed to Island Records, for instance, were encouraged to prioritise Island Studios (aka Basing Street Studios), but they could still record elsewhere if they wanted to. 'Kimono My House' by Sparks, for instance, was an Island release chiefly done at Island studios, but they also did sessions for it at AIR, Ramport and Wessex; Roxy Music did five albums as Island artists but none of them were recorded at Island Studios - in fact, the first one they partly did there was much later, when they'd signed with E.G.

During the Trident years, Queen recorded at Trident often, but not exclusively. Same for mixing.

Sarm is literally just where someone took the tape to be copied for whatever reason. Contracts don't come into it. All studios have duplication/copy services.
