    Can I ask where the sound bytes from the opening of Back in the Day come from?  Sounds like a movie but I don’t know which.  I’d also like to say I like the use of the piano parts from Steinman/Meatloaf’s Lost Boys and Golden Girls in the song.

      Thank you mister clown. not a lot of people are familiar with that song. I love the whole album… as for the vocal samples, all the vocal samples on When We Were Young were taken from an old British TV show called The Prisoner…

        Thanks, I was curious as it made mention of persons named by numbers and I think I’ve heard reference to it before from an Iron Maiden song.  Just wanted to check it out.
