MP3s of Wonderful and Heroes & Villains are floating around - they
sound very like the 60s versions, but with a slightly more sterile
production (the harpsichord is synthesised). Most of Brian's vocals
are doubled by Jeff Foskett. There's also an MP3 floating around of
just one channel of the stereo mix of the second movement, which I've
not yet heard.
BTW, for those who want to hear some of it in advance, there's a 7"
vinyl version of Wonderful/Wind Chimes out on Thursday of next week...
