Unreleased Queen songs
This is a short summary of unreleased Queen stuff, most of which have been
played at the Conventions 2000 & 2001. Thanks to David Backhouse who
provided me with most info.
Queen Live - a shit load more than he ever dreamed of, all in excellent
quality. A vast majority of Queen concerts have been recorded from the
soundboard and most likely there will be a Queen Live box with the best
moments from each tour.
Queen Anthology - there's a lot of stuff in the archives, mostly from the
Miracle & Innuendo sessions because in the early days they had to re-use the
expensive tapes. The Anthology will most likely consist of three box sets,
each of them containing up to 8 CD's (incl. some DVD's). The first box
should be released in late 2002.
Details - songs which have been played at the Convention in 2000
Feel Like - demo of Under Pressure, with different lyrics. Bowie almost
doesn't sing but he playes piano. The song is about relationships and lasts
about 5 minutes.
Self Made Man - Brian's song - Innuendo sessions. Vocals by Brian and
Freddie. Brian's song, lots of synthetisers. Length over 4 minutes.
My Secret Fantasy - John's song - Innuendo Sessions (November 1990). Freddie
on vocals, length 2.5 minutes. Psychedelic song, lots of synths, no guitars.
Robbery - Roger's song - Innuendo sessions. Similar to I Want It All.
Freddie on vocals, song lasts about 2 minutes.
Stealin' - 12 minute version!!! 24 track outtake with 5 vocal tracks
(Freddie). A long jam style outtake with the first half composed of Freddie
arguing with himself with additional overdubbs; the second half is similar
to the released version.
Feelings, Feelings (take 9) - Brian's song - News of the World Sessions
(July 1977) - a heavy foot stomper, apparantly written early 70's (1972/73).
Contains lyrics "a little piece of my heart..."
Silver Salmon - probably the best known Queen demo - great heavy track from
1971.
Silver Salmon w/ Feelings intro (take 4)- Freddie on vocals. Actually more
similar to Feeling Feelings than to Silver Salmon.
Polar Bear - Freddie (instead of Tim Staffel) on vocals, he sings pretty
high.
Another Piece Of My Heart - 1983 works sessions with Rod Stewart - the song
that became Let Me Live
My Baby Loves Me - almost identical to My Baby Does Me, slightly different
lyrics.
"I guess we're falling out" - Brian track, rough mix, incomplete,
interesting vocals.
"A fiddly jam" - with unreleased intro, later became Hang On In There.
"When love breaks out" or "A new life is born" - opening used for Breakthru.
Extra Freddie piano and vocals, 1.5 min.
"I Want It All" - rough instrumental mix with a difference layout.
Details - songs which have been played at the Convention in 2001
Nevermore - BBC version - YES! This BBC tape with the four tracks from 1974
has NOT been lost as we previously thought. So we might expect to get the
BBC version of March Of The Black Queen as well! Different, heavier version.
White Queen - BBC version - same as above but we already have this one :-)
Too Much Love Will Kill You - demo (Brian guide vocals with Freddie singing
over top)
Party - same as album version but last word is completed, Khashoggi's Ship
doesn't follow.
Khashoggi's ship - different lyrics including "this big bad fucker....I said
go get laid" (instead of "uh huh babe" :-)
Invisible Man - Roger on vocals, early demo.
Headlong - demo. Bass and programmed drums only + Brian lead vocals. 5
minutes long.
Ride The Wild Wind - instrumental demo, lots of drums
Breakthru - quicker & heavier pounding drumbeat, no vocals.
Man Made Paradise - a 1 minute Queen version.
Face It Alone - mainly guitar, Freddie singing about "looking after yourself
first - you've only one life". Innuendo sessions. 3 different versions
(total 10 minutes).
Dog With A Bone - a 6 minutes long song which was played at the 1988
Convention as a message from the band. A poor recording exists on the
bootlegs, now it seems Greg found a better version in the archives.
Songs which do NOT exist
Hangman - studio version. Queen may have recorded this great Wreckage song
but the tape hasn't been found.
New York New York - the Highlander excerpt is all that exist, no full
version.
Other facts
The Queen archives contain over 4000 tapes! Most of it is just backup
though.
Queen + Michael Jackson tracks might be released. At least 'Victory' is in
Queen archives and all Queen members sing backing vocals.
There are many versions of Mother Love with Brian's & Roger's vocals.
All the BBC tracks should be released.
