Oh here's something else I noticed after buying the CD (is it on the Trainspotting guide?)....
Okay listen to the following section on "Fat Bottomed Girls" (toward the end):
"Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go 'round,
Yeah,
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round...get on your bikes and ride."
The word "Yeah" is mixed differently on the album version than the single version. On the single version Freddie is mixed louder, while on the album version Brian's guitar overpowers Freddie.
I now recall always anticipating which version it would be before hearing it, but never really paid attention. My records were really scratched so I guess I thought I was hearing things before.

Hey goinback (and anyone else with both vinyl and CD versions) - I feel there's a marked difference in sound quality & dynamics on Mustapha between vinyl and CD. I think the contrast between soft/loud sections on the vinyl is much greater, whereas the CD kind of "normalizes" the 2 sections so they're not as noticeably different. Do you notice that, too?

Yes! You can hear a definite difference on both. Moreso on either the Japanese remastered CD or 24K gold CD (you can turn it up and the sound's amazing). The sheer force of Fred's voice always stuns me!

You are correct. I can't believe I've never noticed before. Whenever I get a new version of the Jazz CD, I like to personally recreate the single version to add as a bonus track on my listening copy. My edits may be perfect, but now it turns out the mix is different... thanks a lot! :P
