Queen II -> SHA Link

Thanks again for this! It's crazy to hear it without.... Queen on it.

It's totally weird not hearing Queen. I always start whistling when it's "supposed" to come in and humming the guitar (not at the same time, though).

Someone asked about the actual LP. I don't actually have it, nor have I ever seen it. The closest I came was described in that high school anecdote, when it was played in the auditorium (I guess they were running through different effects sounds). I know it was not directly off the LP and was likely a cassette. Where they got it I don't know. This was around 1993, so CDs existed, but weren't so prevailant. I've since heard many FX recycled on numerous CDs, so this one is probably floating around out there.

I will bow before anyone who actually finds a copy of this LP, or at least buy them a beer.

And John S Stuart probably can confirm it himself.

And maybe he (or any other "expert") could confirm that the last bit of Seven Seas Of Rhye was recorded by lots of people who were in the studio on that day. [/QUOTE]

This deals with the SOUND EFFECTS, not the whistled part. The SOUND EFFECTS (of a FAIRGROUND, hence the TITLE) were taken off a studio-record of sound effects that was lying around and made its way into their hands. They overdubbed it with THE WHISTLING and a small bit of guitar to make it into the intro of Brighton Rock.[/QUOTE]

Exactly.

I just fired off a bunch of emails with the track to everyone who asked. Sorry it's late, I wasn't online for about 48 hours.

I didn't abandon anyone, don't worry. Anyone else? Please allow a few days for delivery as I don't always visit here daily.

Rock on, brothers and sisters!

Yes please! casparmulders (@) hotmail.com. I'll try to make that isolated Queen-version, if possible.

Well.... I've tried subtracting mp3 from mp3 before, it's not pretty. (In an effort to make an acapella of "A Winter's Tale", I wound up removing some of John Deacon's bass).

And given that this sample is actually a notch lower than Brighton Rock in pitch... it'd be a hell of a tough job.

I was also surprised to hear the CAROUSEL/FAIRGROUND NOISE while listening to an Edgar Broughton Band album released May 1973! It's part of a four-song medley, "Face From A Window / Pretty / Hi-Jack Boogie / Slow Down". It has some music playing over it as well as some extra shouting. After the song fades out there is some crowd noise and a telephone bell. Maybe from the same sound effects album? Who knows.

Anybody else heard this one?

What is the song Brighton Rock starts with and which band was playing that ?

No, it was completely a coincidence that during the recording sessions of Brighton Rock, they asked someone to come in to whistle 'I do like to be beside the seaside"

It was a total surprise to Queen when they pressed the masters.

The sound effect is called "Carnival Midway" and is available on the CD "Authentic Sound Effects Volume 3".

You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/Sound-Effects-3-Various-Artists/dp/B000002H4N

It was originally found on the first LP volume of "Authentic Sound Effects":

Authentic Sound Effects Vol 1: Sound Effects
Elektra EKL 251 (Mono) EKS 7251 (Stereo) - Released: 1964 Production: Jac Holzman

Thanks! I was actually trying to find all the info listed!
