People need to understand the difference between remastering (taking, the original stereo recording and changing its sonic values) and re-recording (a brand new, fresh recording of the song. Patrick Leonard is re-recording these songs, not remastering them.

I thought this was an interesting thread, but I didn't want to come back and look at it after what Queen was saying, but I see they've now been banned, so we can discuss it like adults.Yes, the case was about the horns - but I'm pretty sure they are the same horns. They sit on a stem on their own in the multitrack so we can't be sure. There is also a track which is a conga beat which loops and you can hear vinyl scratches on it so it's probably been lifted from something. And there's a very heavy breakbeat which goes throughout the whole song (it's what gives Vogue its distinctive style and gets dropped into bits of Deeper and Deeper when she repeats the lines from that song). This might be from Love Break. I'm not sure. Anyway... what's clear to me is that there is some lying that's gone one.

Sigh, it's not just some files I found on the internet, is it? We now have all the separate parts to Vogue, from Madonna's backing harmonies, to the individual hi hats. And, included in that, is a repetitive break beat with the chanting of "love break, love break", quite clearly lifted from the track Shep had remixed a few years earlier. And yes, it is astonishing that the jury didn't ask to listen to the multitrack recording. I can't quite fathom it myself, but it's a fact that it's there. And you can hear it in parts of the 12" mix, too.

Er, no I mean that in the multitrack files there is a stem which is a sample of beats and vocals from Love Break. So the fact that they said it wasn't used is a lie.

As you may recall, Madonna and Shep won the case that they had sampled Sal Soul Orchestra's Love Break and stated that it wasn't used. However, now the Vogue multitrack has leaked and it quite clearly is in there. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/madonna-music-producer-win-vogue-657052 Do we think the case will return to court?
