A "pause" in Back Chat on the Hot Space album...?

No...There's no pause on the 1987 uk pressing or the original 1982 vinyl.
I have that same problem with that 'pause' thing, thought I was the only one, lol.

Edit; for the people who still want to know how it sounds ;), a bit of my 'pause' version.

Hmm, okay. I don't suppose one of you could share a clip of this 3:25 pause then? A little before and a little after? I'm curious as to how it sounds...

Ok, just heard the "pause" on Daniel CD. It's just a transfert error, a mastering error, a mispressing.. or whatever error you want. It's obviously not on the LP nor the UK or Japanese remasters.

OK, the Daniel CD is obviously a mistake back...chat, but the pause after "scream and shout" is meant to be, and i´m shure it´s on every edition. They perform the song live with that pause, and it makes sense. But the Daniel example...outch!

Take care
Yeah I guess there was some confusion about this.. I assumed it meant the part of the song where the beat pauses.. sorry about that.

Yep, thanks or the sample.. clearly an error.. so that makes two known errors on the 1994 remasters.. the other being that little squeak on the Fat Bottomed Girls intro :-P

This error is not on my 1994 EMI Remaster.

Not sure which you mean, but I'm only going by what's been stated here and what I was told by Justin Shirley Smith which is published here:

Perhaps if yours is alright, they later fixed the problem or something.

I hate to bash the guy, but this Kevin Metcalfe dude who was responsible for many Queen mastering jobs for years seems to be the masterer in question for many errors.. two of the 1991 Hollywood remasters with errors had been done by him.. bits missing from 'Sheer Heart Attack' and 'News of the World', which Hollywood later corrected.. and now these two additional ones in 1994.. plus nobody checked the tracks when putting together 'Rocks' so the FBG glitch ended up there too.. makes me wonder if they just throw shit together/apply processing rather than actually listening to stuff and mastering properly.

Thanks for that, Walter :)

For the record, since this thread is active.. I can confirm that the 2003 versions of both the Hollywood and later Japanese card sleeve neither have this Wembley error. And I can say with 99% certainty that my old 1992 Hollywood version didn't have it either.. I wouldn't have missed that, LOL.

Why oh why can't someone sit and listen to a CD before it gets released with errors? I'd volunteer.

Oh, I'm reminded now that there's a tiny error on the Hollywood 1991 edition of 'Queen' (besides the SSOR lyrics and sleeves which are now removed). The very end of My Fairy King seems to suddenly edit to a much lower quality tape from 3:48 to about 3:51 when you can sorta hear it come back to being clearer. It doesn't appear on the 2004 card sleeve.

Here's a sample: http://rapidshare.com/files/7430351/MyFairyKing_sample_HW91.mp3

In the sample, it lasts from about :06 to :10

Is that Fairy King one, really, an error?

EDIT: I have the same version and always believed it to be the limitation of their recording circumstances. I'm sure it's no surprise since you can listen to bands with much better drum sounds around the time and even years before. It's probably a quirk of the recordings. Unless someone knows something about this, specifically, that's what I'm thinking.

Can you post the sample of the good version. I´m a bit lost here because this seems the normal mix. I have the 1991 Hollywood version and it sounds like this. But i would like to hear the good one.
This is a very interesting Topic, i think i´m gonna guive a listen to some of my LP`s to see if there´s something wrong.

Take care
These mistakes are not the worst. On my old EMI ADATR the end of "You Take My Breath Away" (Take my breath, take my breath ... away) was cut as the beginning of track 3 together with "Long Away" although you cannot think of 2 more different songs! These mistakes were the reason I bought the 1993/94 remaster series. Now I think I should have kept the CD as an oddity.
I do not want any google ads here.
Well I did refer to it as 'tiny'. And in fact I never noticed it until it was pointed out to me earlier this year, and so I checked the card sleeve version...

Granted, the whole ending section has always sounded a bit distorted and rough to me.. this version at least doesn't suddenly change for a few seconds like the other.

YV, I briefly had a UK ADATR with the end of YTMBA as part of Long Away but I consider the track marker things to be a different kind of 'error' :)

The track markers on 'Queen Rocks' are all over the bloody place; a right pain in the arse if, like me, you happen to listen to CDs on the 'Random' or 'Shuffle' setting.

My 1994 EMI version of 'Hot Space' DOES have the pause in 'Back Chat'. Until recently, I had always assumed it was meant to be like that.
