Only in the first month a lot of rarities have leaked:
Face It Alone
Love Kills (Symphony & Jazzy Mixes)
New York (Demo)
What's on Your Mind
I Got You (I Feel Good)
In the Midnight Hour.
In first half of february we've got I'll Go Crazy.
What do you waiting to leak now?
At first, I think that rest of Reaction's acetate recordings will be shared in next two months.
I also hope we'll hear this year:
Hangman & Rock'n'Roll Medley (from 10" Acetate) — I know that's only dream, but hope never dies
Live in Truro '70 — another impossible dream :)
Live at Marquee Club '72 — one day this concert will be shared
More of Queen demos
New Roger's album
I'd be surprised if anything else gets released this year besides the 15 studio albums and the 'Deep Cuts' compilations. There's not much stuff on my wishlist - anything which I haven't heard and is in good quality would be a welcome addition.

If QPL knew that we want, that already long time ago released concerts 70's

Yeah but I have a good feeling that they're gonna finally do it for the 40th anniversary. If I were them, I'd remaster Hammersmith 1975 and 1979 (we already know the footage is capable of being in great quality) and release it in a double disc CD of Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975 and 1979....If they knew what the fans would like it would be something like that, not to mention how much money it would bring in and also show how great of a band Queen really was.

Mr. Bad Guy (Demo) (freddie mercury box, it's an official release....)
What's on Your Mind , never heard of...
I Got You (I Feel Good) never heard of...
In the Midnight Hour. never heard of....
Well, this year I'm really looking forward to Batman: Arkham City...
But seriously folks, I'm grateful for anything that comes along. I'm hoping for all Reaction recordings to be shared in a lossless format. Also, I'm looking forward to BBC session 2 to be shared by JSS. Other than that... whatever comes along, really.

Personally I'm on tenterhooks about more Ibex/Wreckage stuff. I enjoy Green off Rareties 3 - the ninth disc in the Freddie box released in 2000 - and I heard rumours about alternate versions of this tune existing as well the home demo on Rareties 3. And the Ibex concert at the Sink (09.09.1969) entices me, since its the earliest live recording of Freddie ever - high-quality versions of that recording would be brilliant! Also there's a 1969 rehearsal lasting 1 minute 25 seconds marked as unknown on the Mexican 2004 bootleg CD "Demos Bits and Pieces" - can anybody shed any light on this rehearsal session? Just the name of the song would be great, but if you have more information, put it on board! Here's the cover of "Demos Bits and Pieces" to guide the collectors who trawl through everything.
GinjaNinja - Thanks for the insight! I thought it might have been a long-lost snippet of home-demo version of Vagabound Outcast - which, when you think about it, sounds likely, considering it was apparently Freddie's first ever composition (somebody might have to back me up but I think I'm right on that one...). It is wonderful to know Green was recorded multiple times, because I think the 'Losing sense of rhythm, and I can easily change into a brand new system' bit at the end of the Rareties 3 take sounds like it should have led into a Mike Bersin guitar solo. When I unearth these other versions my dreams might come true.
pittrek - That's good to know! Although it might be amateur quality, considering the average-ish quality of the 09.09.69 tape already. A bonus fact about that gig - Smile later came on stage to join Ibex. Sounds great right? Three quarters of Queen on one stage. Unfortunately the tape recorder ran out before the two bands got to play one note together. Geoff Higgins, Ibex's roadie and the man who taped the performance, can give this quote about the recording. "I had two beer crates as a table, with my tape on top of them and a little old fashioned mono, crystal microphone hanging down by it’s own wire. That’s why the tape is such chronic quality. Imagine being in the audience and looking at the stage, I would have been by a pillar on the right of, and slightly on front of, the stage. That’s why the bass is so loud, because Tupp was on the right hand side. Mike was on the left. Miffer in the middle, and Fred out on the floor in front of the stage, because there simply wasn’t enough room for a singer as well." Higgins also notes he used a Grundig TK-14 reel-to-reel machine that night. Maybe TK-14s have a credit for picking up bass - if they used the same machine on the home recordings this would explain why 'Tupp' Taylor's contribution is so clearly heard on Green.
