One of the oldest most elusive sample mysteries, the stab from Spectrum - Brazil (1990) was finally sourced recently by garx. It's from a 1972 recording of God Save The Queen (from the L channel specifically), which ended up a staple sound in dance music re-sampled from Brazil many times afterwards.
