1974 - Ultimate collection (Part Two): Sheer Heart Attack

No - It is the version made in 1999 starring Geoffrey Rush. That is the correct movie.

Stu: Very original and interesting research there.

I must confess it was more by accident rather than design. I picked up the album on the strength of the opening track, Secondhand Love, which I stumbled upon completely by chance after hearing it on the radio in 1981 and had no idea the fairground section was on the album and was caught thoroughly by surprise when it started. I remember I had nipped into the kitchen quickly to put the kettle on just before the track started and shouted out to my brother ''oi, I was listening to that'' believing he'd put Sheer Heart Attack on! its funny the things that stick with you isnt it. As I mentioned before, as soon as I get a new stylus (currently on order, yay!) Id be happy to knock together a CDR of the album for anyone that would like to hear it.

Can you tell me, this band "The Foxx", are they related to the UK mid-1970's band "Foxx" who had hits with "Single Bed" and "Only You Can"?

These are 2 very different beasts (sorry, couldnt resist :) ), the 70s band ''Fox'' (with Noosha and co.) are completely unrelated to the 60s band ''The Fox''. Altho only distinguishable by name due to the definite article at the beginning of the 60s outfit (but missing on the label), by sound they are worlds apart, with ''The Fox'' favouring a harder almost Hendrix style.

That is a very interesting connection, Stu. ...And that band is from Brighton!

Im from Brighton too! Is it known where the actual sound effect recording was made? I think with all these Brighton tie-ins (OK Im completely coincidence) it may well be a recording made on the Pier or down on the front here in Brighton, maybe adding some relevance as to why this particular piece was used, of course it could just be that RTB worked on both albums and had it handy but Im curious now, anyone know?

P.S. I wrote originally that the album was released in 1969 but it was infact 1970, I just typed that bit off the top of my head only consulting the album for the cat.no., the rest of my original information is without error tho.

Wilki: "I would like to add the infamous "In The Lap Of The Gods" from Hollywood Record's first pressing of SHA, as it does not seem to be a transfer error but a different master".

OK - I have this disc, and I have listened and re-listened to it, but I can't spot any differences. Can you point them out to me please? (Just to keep my sanity you understand!)

Hollywood is missing an:

"ooh-ooh - aah-aah"

before:

"Ev-en in the la-ah-ap ... of the Gah-ah--ds ... ah-ods ....... I live my life for you ..."

Stu: The Fox album was recently reissued on CD with bonus tracks.

John: The difference is well described by Rip. Perhaps you have a corrected pressing of the album. The first one has matrix 2 61036-2 SRC=01, while the second has 206 161 036-2 02%. I will post a comparative mp3 with excerpts from both versions if you want me to. (Yes, I know I still have to upload Procession).

Wilki: Thanks for the offer - but I have both discs here so I will try it out again.

My full matrix number is: 2 61036-2 SRC=01 MIS 3.

I also thought it was a bad edit, rather than a different mix, but I will try them both out later, and feedback my results.

Cheers.

I have checked again and the full matrix number of my copy continues with a M1S18 mark (which is microperforated on the reflective surface rather than being on the surface itself as the first numbers).

Killer Queen
part of original multitrack (bass, piano, drums, lead vocal), 3:28 min, unreleased

I know that the safety masters have been kept - so there is no way that they could be seperated back into different "bits" from that tape (as a safety master is a copy of the finally mixed album).



However, if all the original tapes still survived - then this task would not be too difficult, but as this is not the case, then I suppose that by hearing this track - I can at least now imagine how "Brigton Rock" may have sounded without it.

A safety copy is just a further transfer of a recording for backup. The term "safety copy" doesn't transmit any information in regards to whether such a tape is a backup of a multitrack or a stereo mixdown recording.
The fact that Killer Queen has been re-mixed for 5.1 also confirms they have multitrack sources for the album. I can't remember what it was on - but when referring to the Bo Rap multitrack they worked from for 5.1, it was commented that the tape didn't feature the tape cuts that were made, and the section that were stuck on etc that were present on the true multitrack master - which suggests they also used a safety copy of the multitracks for that.

Listen to them. Creatures of the night. What music they make.It's more exciting than what occurs with your girlfriend buy viagra
