Unreleased material

I was listening to a clear version of Silver Salmon, and this got me thinking 'what full or nearly full songs from each album's sessions are avaliable?' Here's what I have so far in terms of clear studio bootlegs, set chronologically in regards to the album: Queen - Silver Salmon, Polar Bear Queen II - Surrender to the City {I'm pretty sure it's Surrender, anyway, considering what's known about it} NotW - Feelings, Feelings (Take 9) The Game - Sandbox* Hot Space - My Boy Magic - New York New York (Movie Snippet), Back to Storm Miracle - A New Life is Born, I Guess We're Falling Out, Dog With A Bone Innuendo - Robbery, Self Made Man, My Secret Fantasy, Face It Alone, Affairs, Grand Dame * I know the original Beautiful Day demo counts here, but it popped up on the 2011 remaster. My point on this is the following - we KNOW that there are more songs buried in the vault - have the bootleggers not managed to uncover them or are we all missing a trick here? Only eight albums out of fourteen have unreleased songs available (I'm not counting MiH since it was a jigsaw of sorts), and from said eight albums, only eighteen songs are readily unearthed. We know Queen were prolific as hell in general, but this could be a general lie we've been fed by the looks of my list above. |

My Boy from Hot Space? Doesn't make that much sense to me. Brian's voice sounds 1998-ish to me. Also, Jimmy May was born in 1978 so a song about Brian's boy becoming a man makes more sense later than 1981-82. Of course, Brian could have been looking into the future when he wrote the track or he could have been inspired by someone else, etc... Is there any evidence that the track is from the Hot Space sessions? |
| Thistle 21.02.2014 13:08 |
I really don't know tbh. I placed it there as that was the info I had (I know that's not how it should be done lol, but there's no "evidence" either way) |

Woolly Hat???? Never heard it...or is a joke? |
| br5946 21.02.2014 13:29 |
Wiley, 'My Boy' popped up on an unofficial compilation called 'Lullabies with a Difference' in '98 - maybe that's how you got your assumption about Brian's voice? And as an answer to your question, many sources concede that he wrote the song in '82. Noorie, I see where you're coming from, but I'm sure it was thought 'Surrender to the City' was planned as an instrumental segue into 'March'. I'm sure a lot of fans would be interested in proof that 'Surrender' is in fact the little coda at the end of 'March'. |

Sorry! |

| Thistle 21.02.2014 14:00 |
^ The confusion on that very old list I had stems from me being handed the disc which called Back Chat "Woolly Hat". I have since realised the working title is actually for "Cool Cat". |
| Apocalipsis_Darko 21.02.2014 14:08 |
Oh, ok. Thanks for the info! About New York, New York cover, they only recorded this snippet, so it's impossible to do a proper song. |
| musicland munich 21.02.2014 19:39 |
There are "tons" of material, but most of it will be only in tryout or Demo quality. I didn't know about the working title of "Cool Cat" - thanks WalterW. There was an alternative version of "The Miracle" in the pipe - they already announced it in the Fan-Club-Magazine - but it was canceld later. So we can sure about some overspill from "The Miracle Sessions". I am assuming a couple of tracks from "The Game Sessions" and "The Works" also. Something more complete from "A kind of magic " would be a bit of a surprise to me. I signed into Queenzone about a year I guess, and this is probaply the sixth "What's left in the can" thread. And YES somehow it's still interesting. |

I'd be happy with half of those on the new album : ) |
| Apocalipsis_Darko 22.02.2014 13:32 |
The Miracle what you talked, were a compilation of the b sides and extended mixes from the singles, I though. |
| Thistle 22.02.2014 14:16 |
@ Kuijpy - Teen Dreams? Woe? The Dark? Whipping Boy? never 'eard of 'em squire ;) There were "Queen" versions of "You Are The Only One", "Love Makin' Love", "Man On Fire"?? Isn't "Assassin" just a rumour? And this is a complete list? I don't believe it!! |
| Martin Packer 22.02.2014 16:22 |
"The Dark" is the name of the first track off BTTL. But a Queen version? |
| Arnaldo "Ogre-" Silveira 22.02.2014 19:19 |
Great thread. Walter, wasn't Affairs leakead at the same time as Grand Dame, I believe in an Italian FC party, and if I recall correctly by David Richards himself? Cheers, Ogre- |
| Thistle 22.02.2014 19:37 |
Yep. I meant Assassin - so I've edited accordingly ;) |
| andyb1968 23.02.2014 07:50 |
The dark was an unused Queen track but just the same as on bttl album. |
| Martin Packer 23.02.2014 10:18 |
Not disputing it but where did the notion "The Dark" was originally a Queen track come from? Just curious as it's something I hadn't heard before. |
| cmsdrums 23.02.2014 12:51 |
Didn't most of The Dark originate from the Flash Gordon sessions?? |
