Did you discover that just now? I'm not bashing you, don't get me wrong :P

It's A Hard Life - The "yeah yeah" before the first chorus cuts off too soon: link 0:57 The Show Must Go On - The keyboards and guitars underneath "my soul is painted..." are fucking beautiful, linked individually: link 2:48 (keyboards) - I also taught myself how to play this on the Korg M1. Beautiful part IMO. link 2:48 (guitars) The Show Must Go On - "I'll soon be turning, 'round the corner now" - the "now" sounds like a different take spliced in: link 1:49 Long Away - During "Leave it for some hopeless lane" you can vaguely hear Brian's voice trail away from the harmonies, sounds really nice: link 2:06 Ride the Wild Wind - In the lead up to the solo, there's some fast guitar playing as the second chorus concludes. Barely audible in the normal song, but it's at the top of the mix in the instrumental version: link 2:36 Was It All Worth It - The version in The eYe has different "ooo"s and bells in the intro: link Was It All Worth It (studio version) - Awesome drum fill in the outro: link 5:16 Scandal - I don't have an edited version on hand to link here, but turn it way up as it starts to fade out, the guitars get much heavier. No idea why this wasn't included in the song. You and I - I noticed recently it seems to be a traditional 4 chord song, and the little guitar flourishes during the last chorus are great: link 2:26

hahaha !! from day 1, dear Ale! I remember, back in the day when the album was released, sitting and reading the lyrics while listening and the first time I read this part I went like "but don't look ...what??". This one always makes me smile every time I listen to the song :-)

tomchristie22 wrote: Not really recently, but hearing c_matt's mix of Nevermore a couple years ago was quite revealing - Brian plays arpeggiated eighth notes on electric guitar in the climactic section, which are virtually inaudible in the Roy Thomas Baker mix.

madmega wrote: When i bought The Works on LP, i was listening to it on my crappy record player. And with Radio GaGa, it would always skip some parts because the grooves in the record were too deep. But it also skipped at the end of the last chorus Radio, what's new? Someone still loves you! So i thought, because the lyrics were in the album sleeve, it said: Radio, what's new? Radio, someone still loves you! So, i played it on my parents record player...same thing, so i went back to the store, and switched the album for a new one. But that one had the exact same problem. So i went back again, they said the distributor was out of stock but in a few weeks i would get a new one. So i got a newly pressed, sealed in plastic version of The Works...but that had the problem also. Later i found out it was an error print in the lyric sheet :-) This whole story has not a lot to do with the original topic, but i thought it would be fun to mention.

cmsdrums wrote: So, based on either listening to the actual track on several different copies versus reading the lyric sheet, you actually came to the conclusion that there was clearly something wrong with the edit, or the manufacturing process on the records rather than the lyric sheet? You must have returned a hell of a lot of records over the years!!!

28 years later, I still hear "nor-don't-look-a-belt" or something like that :-)
