Hi everyone, I still want to give Barnyard a proper pass, but for now I took a stab at removing the demo piano from I'm in Great Shape. The released track on the box is a bit of a mish mash. It seems they took a piano take from the studio recordings (on some of the boots but not the new box) and mixed it in to the master take in order to create the intro. Maybe the idea was to make it less jarring when the demo piano comes in (piano leading to piano), or maybe it was done just because it makes the track sound fuller. Problem is it wasn't lined up properly. That first uptake chord that Brian plays on the demo (and is on the mixed in piano take) is not beat 1. It wasn't recorded on the master instrumental take that way, nor was it on the BWPS version. It creates a dissonance by mixing the two chords together so I lined them up correctly. Anyway, enjoy! http://oron.com/m6whllytlpll |

Firstly, thanks so much in advance but just so you know, I'm not able to get this and not sure if anyone else has had any luck either. Well not without paying. Can't wait to hear it though!!!

WOW! Just WOW!!
Brilliant job!!! It sounds sooooo clear. Doesn't interfere or cover up any of the backing track. I'm so personally grateful to you for doing this and sharing it with us!
Massive thanks!!!

WOW. That's as awesome as your Barnyard, thanks so much for that.
I was always a firm believer that Brian sang agriculture at the end of this demo, but now with the piano removed, it's blindingly obvious that it's country. I'd go as far to say open country.

hmmm
one wonders what AGD thinks of this, surely an acknowledged improvement on TSS version?
I'm intrigued

Great job.
What's sad is that, back in the day, Brian could have cut the vocals for IIGS and Barnyard in 5 mins and didn't.

I really don't think it's an improvement over TSS. The sound has obvious digital flubs in it. I LOVE the sound of TSS version (much like JMZs mix) - Brian's voice soars in it. This is a great mix but it doesn't capture the power of Brian's voice - it diminishes it. |

This is a great mix but it doesn't capture the power of Brian's voice - it diminishes it. interesting point, it certainly exposes it more that's for sure, maybe it needed doubling up/thickening a little & of course some nice reverb to let it synch in with the music more |

Yeah, a little bit of reverb on the vocal track would've made it sound much better methinks. But this is far better work than I could've even imagined doing.....so I'm not trying to complain!  |

Sounds AMAZING. Very clear. This is technically so difficult to do. If it were easy, someone else would have tried it by now. Please keep sharing your progress on these tracks with us because your work is very appreciated.

Great job!
By the way, I think we can say it's UPPER country now for sure. It's clear as a bell here.

He's saying "around the head", not "around my head", isn't he?
"Fresh thin air", or is it some kind of French word we don't comprehend?

Cool effort. With the vocal being so naked, the piano-removal artifacts are so plain to hear on this one (more so than on Barnyard). The timing is a little funky on the released one as you said but I can't say I think this is miles better...it's just a different approach. The fact that this approach was not taken on the box set does not represent a failure on the part of Boyd/Linnett in my opinion.
I do think the vocals on this & your Barnyard could stand a little reverb to mask some of the weirdness and artifacts.

I tried to do a synch job of the demo with the Purple Chick backing track, and the main problem is two piano notes:
"Freshen air around my head *ba ba* morning tumble out of bed *ba ba*....".
