Hello
Anybody can confirm me the duration of this tape?. I have recently had a HDD crash and recovered a lot of, luckily, my stuff. I have 8 FLACs files for this tape and the duration is about 26:01 but can't remember if these are the complete ones or maybe i am missing something.
Thanks in advance
Thanks barry, but in that post they talk about the duration of the others tapes : 1988-02-29. Garden Lodge Improvisations (Freddie With Peter Straker & Mike Moran) and 1987-03-29. Freddie Mercury With Montserrat Caballe & Mike Moran (Peter Freestone Tape).
I'm asking about the tape with mike moran with early versions of Barcelona
No Barry, i have 3 diff tapes. One is the video you post, other is the peter freestone tape with Montserrat and the one i'm talking about is only Freddie with Mike with ideas for Barcelona from 1987.
No, is other tape. This is what GT talk about it "Yes thats right, there were these two as you mention above.....and also another tape of Freddie and Mike Moran on their own.
By the way they were both recorded on the 29th, not the 28th as you say, just different years and months. "
The tape im talking about is the "Freddie and Mike Moran on their own"
This is what i have.
1987-03-00. Garden Lodge Instrumental Demos (Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran) 26:01
1987-03-29. Freddie Mercury With Montserrat Caballe & Mike Moran (Peter Freestone Tape) 72:11
1988-00-00. Garden Lodge Piano Home Demos (Jim Hutton Tape) 09:22
1988-02-29. Garden Lodge Improvisations (Freddie With Peter Straker & Mike Moran) 52:39

For those of us who haven't really kept up with this home demo stuff - how much of it is available for download? And how much parallel is there with what has been released on the FM box set and Barcelona 4 disc reissue (if any) ?
So far I can confirm that the Garden Lodge Piano Home Demos (Jim Hutton Tape) and the Garden Lodge Improvisations (Freddie With Peter Straker & Mike Moran) tape are the same lengths as the ones you have. I'm still waiting for the info on the other tapes.
It seems that the Freddie Mercury With Montserrat Caballe & Mike Moran (Peter Freestone Tape) is about 90 minutes in length, so the 72:11 transfer you have might be an edited version. As regards the Garden Lodge Instrumental Demos (Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran), can you list the tracks and times of the 8 flacs you have?
Doing a better search here i found this:
March 1987: Complete 35 -minute Mercury, & Moran “Garden Lodge” Instrumental demos.
Freddie Mercury/Mike Moran Improvisations - Unreleased: Home Mini-Disc
So did you download them from somewhere? You might also want to check the flacs on your Jim Hutton mini disc transfer as some copies are sourced from mp3.
