Queen boffs know about Doin' Alright, Blag, April Lady, Polar Bear, Earth and Step on Me, but could there be more studio stuff from Brian May, Roger Taylor and Tim Staffell? I know Wikipedia isn't gospel, but here's a snippet from their article on Humpy Bong, Tim's first post-Smile band: ''Tim Staffell, previously bassist/frontman for Smile (which following Staffell's departure replaced him with his college friend Freddie Mercury and evolved into Queen), answered and got the job as singer, bassist and harmonica player; in fact, as a result of meeting Freddie Mercury through the market stall that Freddie ran in London, Jonathan had previously met Staffell and Smile and invited them to the studio [in 1970?] where they performed a song together called 'Fork In The Road' and at least three others, one being 'Babylon'.'' This leads me to suspect there could be more Smile stuff. And for the record, I don't follow the popular misconception of counting The Man From Manhattan as a Smile track just because it's on the 1998 Ghost of A Smile CD, as Brian is the only Smile member on that recording. So, do people reckon the article clip is definite proof, and could Queen fans track the mysterious sessions down if they do exist?
Interesting reply?? What I read is:
"I have the song somewhere..
..did some other stuff with the bloke as well...
..no idea what happened with it...
..music on the interwebs is bad mkay...
..cheers"
boils down to:
"A recording of the song exists"
well.. ok.
