Editorial perspective

Body Language occupies position 4 in the identified Hot Space programme. It follows Back Chat. The next work is Action This Day. Read that placement alongside the album perspective: The album was recorded in Montreux and Munich, with Queen and Mack producing; Under Pressure has a separate production credit involving David Bowie. That exception is important: album-level credits must not erase track-level differences. Our editorial reading starts from the running order and keeps debates about artistic direction separate from factual credits. Compare the closing track with the rest of the album through its own recording and source records, rather than assuming every piece shares an identical production history.

The timing belongs to Body Language - Remastered 2011, not to every performance of this work.
