ABBA Gold Anomalies Take A Chance On Me

The bits of Take A Chance they didn't want you to hear! Watch how to make a cassette version of tape loops at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SjPWCJCBtWg .

I have recorded the whole song Out of Phase at the end. Most of the anomalies are obvious even from this basic recording but as always try it at home. There is some gorgeous guitar work revealed that often is masked by the vocals when listened to normally.

Listen to the male vocal loop in OOPS at 0:36. Exactly as she sings 'let me try', instead of 'chance take a chance' you hear 'chan- chan- chance' with the middle syllable quieter.

@poglad OK cool, will check this out!

At 0:43 I don't hear a voice on the LEFT side, but I do hear an odd note on the RIGHT side. I'm listening through Spotify. When I OOPS it, it sounds like a stray note on the guitar that comes in during that section.

That's because the 92 Gold mixes often have inverted stereo positions, Pog! This mix first saw light of day, as far as I know, on the UK vinyl pressing of Greatest Hits Volume 2. You may be using a different edition. I didn't know the stereo issue when I put this video out.

I think the edit at 0:29 in the song is suppose to be that way. Kinda like the small bit on Cassandra where the girls sing "Packing your bags, being slow and thorough", except the opposite.

Thanks for your comments Promagnum. I have to say though that I'm not all that familiar with Cassandra - I haven't checked anomalies yet. So you might have to explain yourself a bit more here. Also I'm talking OOPS at 0:29, just to clarify, there's no skip in phase.

The stray note I'm hearing is dead on the snare beat immediately after "Meee..." circa 0:43.

[promagnum]

oh.

[promagnum]

I also thing what you're hearing at :43 is a small tape wow problem from the echo chamber.

Hey Mark. Yeah, I know the process you speak of, my reply was more to Schelinfrey's remark, that it was impossible to do because he/she couldn't do it. Kisses and respeck.
