I'm well aware of that yet not sure how much incomplete honestly. Still decide to post the link cause it could be interesting for someone

BTW, does anyone ever noticed that 'Hot Space' LP Side B label of original pressing still features incorrect running time for final album mix but it's correct for withdrawn mix with DB.

mediokamusic wrote: For anyone that wants info on the Dragon Attack session here's some useful links link link The reason the solo bass track doesn't kick in straight away is because the main bass is in the stereo bounce. And the solo bass is obviously John adding bits here and there to the track. Apparently the main body of this song came from a jam session where part of it was looped which is evident when you listen to it. I'd imagine the session you have TC is the way the final multitrack is supposed to be.

Downloaded just because you said this. But found no real surprise, most songs have Brian adding short licks and 2-3 notes into the instrumental that add on to the whole mix, making it bigger, filling for the lack of keyboards.

vinyljack wrote: Quite nice to hear Brian multitracking his BVs on one of the guitar tracks in FBG. I think (tohugh I might be wrong) one or more of the drum fills could be looped so they play twice in the finished version of the song- listening to the drum tracks, it sounds like things heard twice in the end product are played once in the recording, though I might be being a bit thick. Interesting to notice that the lead vocals switch from the first take to the second for the ad libs at the end. Seemingly immediately after the final chorus.

MyHumanZoo wrote: Sorry for another clueless question (but I am learning so much from you guys on this!), is there a way to separate out individual voices on harmonies? Are the backing harmonies all on one track, or somehow individually pulled out? I ask, because I listen to the songs so closely to follow each voice in the harmony, and I find it almost impossible to identify Brian’s contribution in them. There are some where I can, but I’d love to hear them by themselves (not on UP so much, but Queen songs in general). It’s usually easy to tell Freddie and Roger, especially in the higher parts, because of the more unique sound of their voices. Brian’s is usually lower and it just blends, I guess. Seeing videos where they all sing harmonies at the same time makes me think you can’t pull out individuals, but thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask!

Sebastian wrote: For a lot of recordings, though, what they did was getting all three to sing every part (except the really high ones which would be just Roger). So you had two Brians, two Fredericks and two Rogers on top; two Brians, two Fredericks and two Rogers in the middle; two Brians, two Fredericks, two Rogers on the bottom. That's how they got those rich-sounding blends.

cmi wrote: These 2 tracks are not from this multitrack session. They are LOSSY and they are L and R channels of Classic Queen remix, which were added later to this folder. The same situation with FBG 2 tracks, mix-down is from RockBand stems.

Penetration_Guru wrote: While I can tell that the final FBG BVs (BV_01 & BV_02) are more than the sum of the individual parts, the individual tracks (GTR_03, GTR_04) sound to me like only Brian & Freddie.

MyHumanZoo wrote: I went back and had a listen to Stone Cold Crazy, you could be right. I think I just assumed all high stuff was Roger, and I didn’t think Brian’s voice had quite the bite or projection to come through in that range. But I also listened to Sail Away Sweet Sister, which has quite a few higher notes that Brian hits very strongly and clearly so I think it could be so on SCC too.

IanR wrote: Had a crack at mixing an acoustic version of Under Pressure, with a mix of familiar and alternate vocals, bringing out the piano and 12-string acoustic:

mooghead wrote: It has just dawned on me that the remixed UP that appeared on Classic Queen has been sourced from these tracks. The lack of 'that's ok', the crispy clean, hi tone hi hat sound and a very prominent 'people on streets' and Roger/Bowie 'last dance' vocal. Going by the last 2 (left and right) tracks on the download anyway.

Bohardy wrote: I can't remember if I've said this before - I certainly meant to years ago - but what I find ASTOUNDING, is that since the Rock Band stems of UP came out, and even more pointedly now we have the full multitracks, which people are discussing in detail, I've not seen it mentioned once that there is a real, actual, goddamn saxophone on the track (Audio 10 on the multis). It's slightly buried in the final mix, and not easy to distinguish as sax, since there are another couple of tracks with synthy sounds playing similar line, but it's always been there. And the stems and multitracks reveal it clearly. So, of course, the question is, can we reasonably assume that it was Bowie that played the part? I think we can. But why has this never been documented anywhere? I think it's pretty big news. Thoughts?

The Real Wizard wrote: Indeed, there is sax ! Yet another reason why listening to this stuff is like learning how the pyramids were built. A bit of the mystique is lost, but I think most would agree that the benefits outweigh that loss.

Bohardy wrote: I'm pretty sure the sax on ATD has been confirmed to be synth, played by Morgan Fisher I think. So sadly no Bowie there.

He wasn't credited, but as far as I know, he did play them both (alto and tenor, IIRC). As for 'Under Pressure', when Bowie died Roger's techie posted something about him (Bowie) recording a sax part for 'Cool Cat' a day or so after the 'People on Streets' session. My theory: he may have misremembered (it was 35 years later anyway) and the sax was actually for 'People on Streets' (later renamed 'Under Pressure') instead.
