Hello,
I'd like to ask you if at the convention during which this beautiful demo was presented, Greg provided any info concerning its origin or why it wasn't included in the FM solo box set ? Was this particular tape found recently ?
Can we hope that at 70 anniversary of Freddie's birth the *expanded* box will be released ?
Cheers,
Martin
I don't think so. They had released the 'definitive' box set, but what makes you think that after the really definitive boxset they find more releasable demos/outtakes?
Being curious, what is your surname? I have an uncle called Martin.
It sounds like an idea, improvisation recorded on tape. Just Freddie, Montsy and possibly Mike Moran on piano. It's easy to find it on youtube under that name "Heroic Theme".
The melody itself is beautiful and the demo should have been released with the FM Box set but I guess the tape wasn't found/available back then.
I won't post link here as we shouldn't post recordings sourced from conventions.
It would be great if there would be more to the theme than what was presented during the convention. Maybe we will get "refreshed/expanded" FM box set.... who knows....
