C'è un semi-bootleg ("semi" perchè l'ha anche la band ^__^) con tutte le
versioni del DeLane Lea studio (1971)
Ecco i commenti al CD e ciò che c'è scritto nel booklet
The one and only excisting real demo cd. Taken from a tape, recorded at
the De Lane Lea Studio's in London in the late 1971, Queen sent to a few
recordcompanies
trying to get a contract. Soundquality is really perfect. On a scale of ten
it gets a nine.
Important historical "document". Is absolutely a musically "must" in every
Queen collection.
The only not official cd at the Official International Queen Fan Club.
Issued in 1994, limited edition 1000 copies.
Tracklisting:
Keep yourself alive            3:37:64"
The night comes down       4:18:52"
Great King Rat                   6:01:55"
Jesus                                 5:00.71"
Liar                                    7:45:73"
After recording the first Queen LP, Queen wasn't satisfied with the
recording
of The night comes down and they used the version of this tape for the
album.
The other 4 songs are all different from the versions on Queen I.
In the beginning . . . .
"Around September 1971, Brian May met up with an old friend, Terry Yeadon,
who was involved in the setting up of a new recording studio in Wembley
called De Lane Lea. The studio needed musicians to try out the new equipment
they had installed - and preferably a band who could play loud ! The deal
was that the musicians would record using the equipment, and potential
studio users would be on hand to hear and watch them. In return for their
services the band could record their demos for free. It was an opportunity
not to be missed and, of course, Queen jumped at it. Not only would they be
able to make the all important demo tapes, but they would have ample
occasion to meet producers and engineers, people who could be vital to their
future"
The above quote is taken from the accompanying booklet featured with the cd
which, in itself, has been lifted from the Jacky Gunn and Jim Jenkins
official biography 'Queen - As it began'.
In hindsight this was probably the most succesful piece of luck that Queen
could have at that point in their career. It gave the band a chance to
experience the workings of a studio environment for the first time - with
the obvious exceptions of both Brian and Roger, who had previously recorded
with Smile.
It also enabled the band to perfect their own ideas of how they wanted their
music to sound; as well as giving them ample time to spend rehearsing their
stage show. Being perfectionist, the time spent recording at De Lane Lea was
frequently a very frustrating one for the band. More often than not they had
to move from one studio to another, taking down and setting up their own
equipment along the way. Nevertheless the experience that they had gained
wasn't wasted and the group emerged as enthusiastic as of before, only this
time they now had a demo tape of professional quality that they felt they
could hawk around the business in hope of securing a major record deal.
The rest as they say is 'History', or is it ? . .
"Keep yourself alive' opens this historic disc, and "rightly so' I hear you
say. Being Queen's first ever vinyl offering this version proves to be a
different to the one found on the first LP. The production of the track is
also very different to its more well known incarnation. For instance roger's
drums are more prominent in the mix and less subdued to those found on
'Queen I'. Brian's guitar sound has a new raw edge to it, leading the
listener to believe that it could have been recorded live. Certain lyrics
within the song are different to those that appeared on the original. An
example of this can be found during the opening two lines of the song where
Freddie sings 'I was told a million times of all the people in my way. How I
had to keep on trying to get better every day' instead of the more well
known 'I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way. Tried to
grow a little wiser, little better ev'ry day'. There are similar lyrical
instances when hearing the chorus, although it is sometimes only one word
that has been changed. The song also contains a far better drum solo from
Roger who is given two lines to sing on his own, these being 'Do you think
you're better ev'ry day? No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave'.
As I'm sure you all know, the difference here is that Brian always sang the
second line. On the whole this is a great version of a classic track even if
various lines and one chorus are missing.
'The night comes down'. See intro on page before.
'Great King Rat' is almost identical to the version that would later appear
on the bands first album. The only exception is that Brian's guitar solo
before the last verse is slightly longer although he seems undecided on how
it should be played, a bit hap-hazard in places.
'Jesus'. Lyrically identical, this version (not nesscesarily this recording)
would have been perfect for the first album as well as the live stage.
Featuring a stunning guitar solo from Brian just before the last verse, the
track proves to illustrate the bands versatility as a unit along with their
heavier rock roots. A much better rendition than the LP's choice.
'Liar' is a far heavier and rawer sounding recording than the one we are
used to. Incorporating a longer intro, the song is only let down by
Freddie's vocals which appear to be sung much flatter than expected. Brian's
guitar work is once again excellent, whilst Roger goes for a more punchy
drumbeat. Running at over a minute longer than the album version, the song
is much more rocky with the band really 'going for it' during the
instrumental break.
