The version on Time-Life's Sounds of the Eighties-1985 doesn't
have the split-second breath either. The original 45 sounds as though it was a bad edit in the middle of the breath; I don't know how the original LP version starts. |

The version on Billboard Top Hits 1985 has the breath at the beginning.

Pulling the 53 cd's in the database that contain "We Built this City" to find a breath at the beginning is a very low priority item for me so I would say don't hold your "breath" waiting for the answer to this question.

I don't hear it on either the Platinum And Gold Collection CD or the Rhino Omigod! 80s box set. That's four CDs down; only 49 more to go.
There's definitely something at the start of the 45; but I'm not sure it's a breath, since it overlaps the start of the vocals. If it is a breath, I can loop it, put on headphones, and listen to Grace Slick breathing in my ear - which would fulfill a lifelong fantasy. |

That's true, but don't forget that the opening chorus has Mickey Thomas singing the harmony. Technically, you'd have Grace and Mickey both breathing in your ear. |

Ed, you will be happy to know that I went through all 53 cd's that contain "We Built This City" today and have updated the database with the results. I must disagree with Paul however as my copy of "Sounds Of The Eighties - 1985" does inclue the inhale breath. Perhaps there are two pressings of this cd? My matrix number is OPCD-2731-2 SRC*01 M1S6.

There IS some kind of quick little sound in the split second before
the vocals on the version on Sounds Of The Eighties - 1985, but on the 45, it sounds more abrupt. On the Time-Life CD, it sounds as though the sound was smoothed a little. It's really almost too close for me to call. But, on closer examination, my matrix number is 10 OPCD 2731-2 SRC**01 M1S9. Hmmmmm! |
