3:33 - It's definately "I never said I was frightened of
dying," not "If you can hear this whisper, you're

4:35 - Listen very carefully... the last chord seems to raise in
pitch slightly and then go back down again as it fades, as though
the tape machine slowed down just here as it was recording (this anomaly was originally noted in the Echoes FAQ but was also reported by FATSS reader Radu C). It's
an anomaly that could very easily be fixed with a variable speed tape
machine, or even a digital audio editing suite, but the band have
left it in after so many remasters... perhaps it's intentional
after all?
