Yes thank you very much - great value!
No problem :) I've enjoyed the project. Today's files have been posted and that finishes it off.
I'd like to give Whirled Peas a Big round of Applause and many many thanks for doing this for us

Ditto!
Aww shucks :)
That one's the icing on the cake. I've never heard about it, it's pretty cool. Thanx again for your eye trax and for all the editing work you made :-)
These are all great. Thank you!
Yup - the Annie Crummer version. Annie is a legend here in lil ol' New Zealand and her link is that she plays the part of Killer Queen in the Australian production of WWRY.
*Sigh* yet again EMI NZ failed to grasp a Queen oppotunity. The single recieved little promotion. Was only released in NZ so therefore became rareish! . Love the instrumental!
Strange though - the Classic Hits radio stations here. Now and again field complaints that they play too much Queen! Haha!
All good I say!

That's a classic case of a an mp3 convincing me to buy something. Someone sent me the vocal and instrumental versions, and as soon as I heard the instrumental I really wanted to own the actual disc. Nothing against Annie.. I just gravitated towards having an alternate version of a Queen track in instrumental form. :)
So I found it at http://www.realgroovy.co.nz/index.asp?s=music&c=detail&pid=2525213 and the price was sure nice after the exchange rate, something like $12 shipped :)
When I first posted the instrumental, quite a few people thought it would be better without the female background vocals. LOL

Yup - I liked it and thought it was good to have the instrumental with out Annie's vocal as reference. So those bits of hers kind of detracted from the concept of a true insrumental. You did a great job! I love Annie Crummer. Awesome voice and all. But nice to have this as an alternative.
Aww shucks :)
Here's a bonus track: An altered version of the 2003 Annie Crummer version instrumental of Another One Bites The Dust. I love the instrumental version, it features some of the original 1980 elements, but with added effects and stuff.
The original instrumental (from a New Zealand CD single) still had some "nah nah" backing vocals in two places so I've removed those with some clever editing :-P

Great job. Maybe someone could add the original Freddie vocals and voila: a new hit single is born ;-)
That's an excellent idea Wybren! We could call it a "Queen + Freddie Mercury" track :-P
Actually I did that back in July:
But since the Annie Crummer version is a little faster and I suck at synchronizing, it's not exactly perfect. I slowed down the instrumental rather than speeding up Freddie, which makes some of the guitar and stuff sound quite out of tune in places.
I told everyone I'd have another try at it sometime, but so far I've managed to avoid it :-P

Fun! Nice try. How did you get the Freddie vocals off the regular version? Maybe you can remix the new instrumental track with the original version (new intro, instrumental inferno?) That would be nice!
Damn!!
Missed the last two.
But thanks for sharing anyway..
