Thanks Chaese, I actually went back and reread every post including my original thread and I think the provided sound bites are what is confusing the issue. On my very old cd, it sounds obvious to me that the word is Platinum, not sped us as I said earlier trying to explain the 'ch' sound in the middle, but a spoken whispered word, definitely Mike. In Eetons sound bite, not slowed down, it sounds more like Plat__uhum to me, and in the slowed down version it sounds more like Platchinm. But I still definitely hear the Plat at the start. What I find interesting is that even Ugo who has been adament that the word was 'guitar' right from the start, now says that the slowed down sound bite sounds like 'Platchinm'. And Ugo, what did all that mean when you said, "the vocoded word that the staccato chords in the very beginning of Platinum are played on is indeed "Platinum"". This is a spoken whispered word exactly 5 1/2 seconds into the first track, not speeded up, with some echo on it, a very British accent and maybe a pint of Guiness. They were drunk while chatting on TB weren't they? And with Ugo admitting that he has heard Mike introduce the piece by saying "Platchinm" on a live recording, is proof for me. Not to mention the simple fact that it makes much more sense that he would be saying Platinum instead of Guitar, the album is called Platinum and the guitars don't come in until later.
I think we all have to conclusively agree now that the word is Platinum. Only two people through the whole process have said the word was Guitar, Chaese and Ugo, and now Chaese has changed his mind to Platinum and Ugo is saying it could be Platinum. And was Chaese's vote rectified? So that changes the vote from 9 to 3, to 10 to 2, which is now gone from 3 to1 in favour, to 5 to 1.
Please Mike can you clarify this for us, can't Korgscrew ask him?
Thankyou to Family Jules and Hiawatha for your amusing suggestions and input. I still love 'fattybum'.
But I am more anxious than ever now to swing the votes over to 'Platinum', so please anyone who hasn't voted yet, give it a go.
Cheers,
Tracy.

]. At start, Mike says: "We're now gonna play "Platchinom".
