Dobber Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Currently on ebay ive never heard it before,but straight off the bat this has got to be fake? The disc itself doesn’t look right,and the song is a mock up! Sounds like they have sped up Tony’s voice then added it to the backing track? The phrasing start to finish is exact? has this been a discussed,sussed out in the past?
Mark B Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago With you on this sounds odd the recording studio did exist but doesn’t sound right 1

Woodbutcher Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago I thought there had been an inquiry/discussion about it on here yonks ago where it was determined that it was just a bit of jiggery-pokery in Audacity or similar. Buggered if I can find anything in the Search box though so it might have been a FB squabble ... ? 2

Wiggyflat Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Dodgy record dealer sold it to Rob Messer supposedly.....he got it to a record dealer in Vienna who pressed it up...respected .record dealers were selling it until someone slowed it down and low and behold it was Middleton all along ...pinky and perky. 1

Same or similar tempo but the pitch raised dramatically, presumably to sound like a female, athough I'm not sure of the species. I don't know who or where is was pressed up, but they were for sale on Juno, and may still be. 1

There was a free program, can’t remember the name where you could alter the vocal but leave the backing untouched. This one deffo Tony Middleton messed about with.

This one deffo Tony Middleton messed about with. you could do quite easy it with sound forge back in the late 1990s and guess others just increase the pitch and as ya say if affects the vocal and leaves the backing given up being surprised that people are falling for it still
