Queen Anthology set
Yo tenia entendido (y lo leí hace rato) y como dijo Kyle_Katarn
que SI iba a salir unos box set, seran 8 ó 10 CD,y podria incluir un DVD o cd rom, incluso que era para fines del 2002, luego se corrió para fines del 2003, pero parece que será para "end of 2004 or somewhere in 2005" la 1° parte del "Queen Anthology set" (eso si mi trasnlation fue correcta )
aunque mas parece rumor que otra cosa.
Aqui hay una lista de lo que podria incluir entre otras cosas:
unreleased demos
It seems that Queen have recorded more tracks than we know. Besides the common album tracks and the B-sides there are also some unreleased demos that are either unfinished because they weren´t good enough, Queen didn´t had any time left to record them or due to the fact that they had to choose which track should be left off an album for any reason that you can think of.
Below is a list of tracks that were left off an album or never got finished.
A New Life Is Born: from the Miracle sessions, written by Freddie. This is an extended Breakthru piano intro. It sounds almost the same as the normal Breakthru intro, except for a few missing backing vocals. When you expect the "Now!", the song just keeps on going featuring new lyrics and more piano. Lovely.
It´s likely that there´s also a demo of just the second part of Breakthru, since Breakthru is actually a song made from two songs.
Dog With A Bone: a special fan club-only track from 1988, originally ment for The Miracle album. It lasts for about 6 minutes and was played (not live, only on tape) during the fan club convention. Available on the bootleg The Ultimate Rarities Collection.
So far different takes have been found featuring slightly different messages from the band members.
Face It Alone: a demo from 1990 from the Innuendo sessions. It´s one of the longer demos, because this one has a running time of 10 minutes. It´s something like a three-piece demo and should be a great ballad.
Feel Like: a recording by Queen from 1981. This is an early version of Under Pressure which lasts about 5 minutes. The song has different lyrics and a different rhythm. David Bowie was, according to Greg, not on this demo and was only in the studio for a very short time. All the demos after Bowie´s visit feature Under Pressure without him.
Feelings: Queen demo, recorded in 1977 for the News Of The World album. Probably written in 1973 by Brian.
I am not sure about the title. It could also be Feelings Feelings or an other title which was once mentioned by Jim Beach (but I forgot it).
It´s a nice rock and roll track, a typical 70´s track. Lasts for about 2 minutes. It doesn´t fit the News Of The World theme so that might be a reason why it was left off the album.
Hangman: a song that Queen played live at many gigs, but a studio recording never appeared on any album. It is now rumoured that a studio version exists. It is said that Freddie wrote the lyrics and Brian the music, although some say that it originally was a Wreckage song.
I Guess We´re Falling Out: a demo from the Miracle sessions, written by Brian. Nice pop song. The first part has some lyrics followed by a chorus with multiple Freddie vocals singing the title. The second part contains some improvisation words such as the famous "de da da da´s".
This demo doesn´t has a real ending, because it is followed by Hang On In There. However it might be possible that there are more versions available of this demo.
Man Made Paradise: originally a track by Freddie for his solo album Mr Bad Guy from 1985. There´s however a Queen version available which lasts for about one minute. A sample can be heard on the DVD The Untold Story in Freddie´s box set (it´s also possible that this sample is one of Freddie´s own demos without Roger, Brian and John).
My Secret Fantasy: an Innuendo session track from November 1990, written by John. A beautiful short track (approx. 2 and a half minute) with a nice beat, drums, sythesizers and bass only, no guitars. Lyrics aren´t very complex.
New York: not really an unreleased Queen track, since it´s featured in the movie Highlander. However except for those few seconds in the movie, nothing else has been released. Rumours of full versions or longer versions of this song have always been denied.
Polar Bear: originally a track recorded by Smile in 1969, but also recorded by Queen in 1970 without John Deacon on bass. Instead it features B. Mitchells on bass, one of Queen´s first bass players untill John joined the band.
This Queen version is a lot better than Smile´s version. Freddie has a beautiful high voice and the song really has a relaxed mood. Better sit down when you hear this one for the first time!
Robbery: from 1990, the Innuendo sessions. This track has been written by Roger (although Greg said at the Dutch 2001 convention that it could also be Brian) and is 2 minutes long. A strong song with nice guitars and some vocals in the first part. The second part is instrumental.
Self Made Man: a song written by Brian. Recorded in 1990 during the Innuendo sessions. It´s almost 5 minutes long and features Brian and Freddie on vocals. It starts with a soft part with Brian singing, than Freddie comes in with some heavy guitars which turns into the soft part with Brian again and some nice sythesizer sounds. Sounds more like a Miracle session track to me, but it´s not.
Silver Salmon: a well-known demo of Queen, but never released on a bootleg. This is an early 70´s demo originally written by Tim Staffell.
So far some takes have been found in the Queen vaults and two versions have been played at the Queen convention in 2000. One lasts for 2 minutes and the second (well-known one) for 3 minutes. Both tracks are completely different and feature some great guitar play. The second version is very heavy with great drums.
It is said that the two versions were recorded for the albums Queen and Queen II, just like the track Seven Seas Of Rhye.
There Must Be More To Life Than This: this track originally started during the Hot Space sessions as a Queen track, but got shelved for some reasons. Later, in 1983, this track was intended to close The Works album, until Brian and Freddie wrote Is This The World We Created...?
Victory: an unreleased Queen song from the early 80´s. Never finished and some time later re-worked with just Freddie and Michael Jackson. A few good takes should exist of this song.
demos of released tracks
Below you will find a list of songs that have been released on an album or as a B-side, but these are different versions as the ones that have been actually released.
BBC sessions: 24 BBC tracks have been recorded between 1973 - 1977. One tape from 1974 featuring White Queen, The March Of The Black Queen, Modern Times Rock ´N´ Roll and Nevermore was supposed to be lost, but it seems that it isn´t! According to Greg Brooks, all 24 tracks will be released in the box, although he said at the Dutch 2001 fan club convention that only the unreleased BBC tracks will be in the box. This doesn´t make any sense, because the Ogre Battle version on At The Beeb / At The BBC album has a missing intro since the original BBC master tape was damaged. The Queen master tape however features this great intro so this track should be available in the box.
Action This Day: demo from 1982. There´s a version that almost sounds like the album version, but with a different chorus and a different solo after the middle part. The rest of the song is almost the same.
Back Chat: a demo from 1982, released on the album Hot Space. There´s a demo version with quite some different lyrics and an almost silent part in the middle featuring some vocal improvisations. Guitar sounds very rough.
Breakthru: an early demo version, released on The Miracle album from 1989. This version has a faster and heavier beat without any vocals.
Cool Cat: originally released on Queen´s Hot Space album in 1982. This demo version features David Bowie on vocals as well. The lyrics are a bit different and Freddie´s voice is higher. This version can be found on a UK acetate LP version of Hot Space, although I´m not sure. It´s ofcourse also available on some bootlegs.
Delilah: an early demo version, originally released on the 1991 Innuendo album. This one, probably recorded in 1990 or early 1991, features Freddie on vocals. The music is kinda different and Freddie´s voice is pretty awfull (sorry). A sample can be found on the promotional cassette Hints Of Innuendo.
Don´t Stop Me Now / Jealousy: a demo recording exists of Don´t Stop Me Now that is followed by Jealousy: the piano outro of DSMN emerges into Jealousy.
Great King Rat: the demo version recorded in the De Lane Lea Studios in 1971. Re-recorded for Queen´s debut album. This demo is a little bit longer featuring some extra guitar solos. The lyrics are similar to the lyrics sung during the BBC sessions. Released on the bootleg In The Beginning..
Hang On In There: also called A Fiddly Jam.
It was originally a part of the track Stealin´, but at a certain point they decided to use it as a separate track.
A very nice demo version exists of this great track. It was played during a Miracle session and comes right after I Guess We´re Falling Out. It demo goes straight into the final part of the song where the song normally is starting to fade out. Instead of fading out, this demo still lasts for 2 minutes featuring a lot of interesting parts. There are hardly any vocals. The demo is followed by A New Life Is Born.
Headlong: there are two known demo versions at the moment. Originally released on Innuendo, 1991.
The first demo version can be found on the promo cassette Hints Of Innuendo. It lasts for about 1:05 minutes and is a rough version featuring no backing vocals.
The second one is a 5 minutes demo featuring bass and drums only with Brian on lead vocals.
I Want It All: an instrumental demo from a Miracle session. There is nothing special about this one, except that it´s instrumental and doesn´t feature the drum solo near the end. Instead it´s followed by Chinese Torture.
Jesus: the demo version recorded in the De Lane Lea Studios in 1971. Re-recorded for Queen´s debut album. A great version with some beautiful extra guitar parts and heavy drums in the middle. Lyrics are more or less the same. Released on the bootleg In The Beginning..
Keep Yourself Alive: the demo version recorded in the De Lane Lea Studios in 1971. Re-recorded for Queen´s debut album. The demo has some minor differences and a great drum solo in the middle. Released on the bootleg In The Beginning..
Khashoggi´s Ship: from The Miracle album, released in 1989. This is a demo version, recorded in November 1988 featuring different lyrics and probably different instruments.
Las Palabras De Amor: from the 1982 Hot Space album. There is a known demo with noticable different lyrics. The rest of the song is almost the same, except for some small changes.
Let Me Live: this is the first take of Let Me Live. Recorded in 1983 with Rod Stewart. The guys should be pretty drunk when they recorded this demo version.
Liar: the demo version recorded in the De Lane Lea Studios in 1971. Re-recorded for Queen´s debut album. This one has a longer drum intro, which is similar to some 70´s live versions, and heavier drums. Freddie´s vocals are a bit weak though. Released on the bootleg In The Beginning..
Life Is Real: from 1982. There is a known version that is almost complete and hardly has any differences. Known differences are the lack of some backing vocals and the different sound levels used for instruments.
Mother Love: recorded in 1991 but unreleased untill 1995 on the album Made In Heaven. Some demo versions should exist with Roger and Brian on vocals.
My Baby Loves Me: the first version of Queen´s My Baby Does Me, originally on The Miracle album from 1989. This one isn´t so different, although it´s obvious that the lyrics are different. The whole song sounds very basic and has a relaxed mood. It is followed by I Guess We´re Falling Out.
Party: originally released on The Miracle album from 1989. This version should be almost the same as the album version, except that it is a stand-alone version (so it isn´t followed by Khashoggi´s Ship immediatly). Recorded in November 1988.
Play The Game: a demo version should exist featuring Andy Gibb (the youngest Gibb brother who sometimes performed with the BeeGees) on the first verse.
Ride The Wild Wind: very different demo version, from the 1991 Innuendo album. This demo is sung by Roger, so it´s likely that this track was originally written by him. Besides Roger´s vocals it also features extra drums. No Freddie vocals on this demo.
Staying Power: a demo from 1982. There is a version without any horns and a nice guitar solo in the middle instead of the saxophones and horns. It´s lyrically the same except for a few changes.
Stealin´: quite some different takes have been found so far.
early versions feature pieces with Hang On In There. In this early stage HOIT wasn´t a separate track yet. Later on they decided to use it as a separate song.
A very long 12 minutes demo version is found which can be seen as a very long extended version. The common lyrics are in this track overdubbed with comments by Freddie, reacting on the common lyrics like "So what!" and "Yeah!". The track ends with a great bass outro.
Tear It Up: an early demo recording from 1983 exists with Brian on guide vocals. It should be quite stunning.
The Hitman: early demo recording from 1990 with Brian on vocals. A snippet can be found on the promo cassette Hints Of Innuendo.
The Invisible Man: two demos are known of this track. The first one is available on numerous bootlegs featuring Freddie on vocals singing different lyrics and a different beat in the middle of the song.
The second one has Roger on vocals with some basic beats and music.
Too Much Love Will Kill You: the first Queen version from 1988. A sample of this demo can be found on the bootleg The Ultimate Rarities Collection.
It features Brian singing the main vocal parts with Freddie singing over top plus some extra drums.
Who Wants To Live Forever: not really a demo but there´s a version available in the film Highlander where Freddie sings the intro instead of Brian. It´s funny that they changed this for the album (or changed it for the movie).
the bbc recordings
When you wonder which tracks were used for the BBC sessions, read the following summary below.
Session 1 (1973):
My Fairy King, Keep Yourself Alive, Doing All Right, Liar
this session has been released on At The Beeb in 1989
Session 2 (1973):
See What A Fool I´ve Been, Liar, Son & Daughter, Keep Yourself Alive
unreleased session but can be easily found on many bootlegs
Session 3 (1974):
Ogre Battle, Great King Rat, Modern Times Rock ´N´ Roll, Son & Daughter
this session has been released on At The Beeb in 1989. Ogre Battle misses the long intro on this release, because the master tape should be damaged
Session 4 (1974):
Modern Times Rock ´N´ Roll, The March Of The Black Queen, Nevermore, White Queen
unreleased session. This one was lost for many years but Queen Productions recently bought a private copy from a collector
Session 5 (1974):
Now I´m Here, Stone Cold Crazy, Flick Of The Wrist, Tenement Funster
unreleased session but it can be found on a few bootlegs
Session 6 (1977):
Spread Your Wings, It´s Late, My Melancholy Blues, We Will Rock You
unreleased session but can be easily found on many bootlegs
unreleased stuff that will remain unreleased
There will be some stuff that will never be released for some reasons, like copyrights, damaged master tapes, no approval of a band member and so on. However, when a song is in this list, it doesn´t mean it will never be released! I could be wrong or my sources could be wrong.
Ibex concert: the complete Ibex concert wasn´t available on the Freddie Mercury 2000 box set, because the sound quality was too low. This is a good reason to keep it off the set, but why did they still release the track Rain? The quality is the same as the rest of the tracks. Even worse in a few cases! It could be a copyright problem, but let´s hope it will be released in one of the Queen box sets.
Love Kills: three remixes have been made by No More Brothers in 1993 and were finished in 1999 / 2000. They were Radio Mix ´93, Jazzy Mix and Symphony Mix. All three mixes should be released as a single in Autumn 2000 but permission was withheld for some reason. Till date they remain unreleased.
State Of Shock: a Michael Jackson track from 1983. This demo was recorded with Freddie and Michael. It was later re-recorded with Michael and Mick Jagger.
Due to copyright and ownership problems it´s hard to tell when and how this track will be released. But Jim Beach, Queen´s manager, has some kind of plans for the unreleased Mercury/Jackson tracks.
There Must Be More To Life Than This: a demo with Freddie and Michael Jackson, recorded somewhere 1983. It features Freddie on piano plus giving lyrics directions and Michael singing the song.
Due to copyright and ownership problems it´s hard to tell when and how this track will be released. But Jim Beach, Queen´s manager, has some kind of plans for the unreleased Mercury/Jackson tracks.
There Must Be More To Life Than This (Remix): a 1996 remix by... John Deacon. I don´t know if it´s good and why it was remixed, but it was withheld from release, probably because the information about this track came out of the EMI office without permission. This sounds like a lame excuse to me, there has to be another reason.
Victory: originally a Queen track, but later re-recorded by Freddie and Michael Jackson in 1983. It was never released and some time later (re-)re-recorded by The Jacksons.
It is rumoured that Brian and Roger recorded backing vocals some time ago (early 2002) for this track.
Due to copyright and ownership problems it´s hard to tell when and how this track will be released. But Jim Beach, Queen´s manager, has some kind of plans for the unreleased Mercury/Jackson tracks.
solo demo stuff
Besides Queen demos there are also solo demos by Brian, Roger, Freddie and perhaps even John. Not many are known but a few are.
Africa By Night: an early demo version by Freddie from the Barcelona sessions that later became Queen´s All God´s People. Queen re-worked it, so why wasn´t the Freddie demo available on the 2000 box set? Probably because the Freddie demo version and the Queen demo version almost sound the same (like the Man Made Paradise demo of Freddie and Queen), so my guess is that we will only see the Queen d
. Verás que la voz no tiene nada que ver con la de Freddy, cosa imposible de imitar
