Star Wars samples? DuranDuran Faith In This Colour

Postby highway1pch » Tue Oct 03, 2006 5:43 am

From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_There_Something_I_Should_Know%3F">Wikipedia</a>:

[i]The b-side to "Is There Something I Should Know?" was the instrumental "Faith in this Colour". An alternate slow mix of "Faith in this Colour" was used on the 7" single, some pressings of which included brief unauthorized sound samples from the movie Star Wars -- these were promptly withdrawn when copyright concerns were raised.[/i]

Does anyone know what these are samples of?

Does anyone have the early pressing of the single?

From some Star Wars geek site:

Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know 1981 Song: Faith in this Colour (slow version) Samples Star Wars, in the background at about 2:53 you can hear the scene where Luke, Han Solo, Chewie, R2 and C3P0 are at the Death Star and have just gotten to the control room. The scene is hard to hear and there is a good amount of echo. (Chewbacca yells, R2D2 chirps) You know with his howling and your blasting everything in sight it's a wonder the whole space station doesn't know we're here Bring 'em on! I prefer a straight fight to all this sneakin' around! (then Obi Wan Kenobi says something I can't make out and R2 chirps)


And here's the song: http://download.yousendit.com/979287E468CA3E5E

Wow. Thanks. The difference is VERY subtle between that one I have from the CD singles collection.
