About a year ago, I remember some fellow by the name of a human body asking about Queen's unreleased songs, and a lot of you all joining forces to come up with a fairly comprehensive list. Thanks to YourValentine and Zeni, those of us lucky enough to have participated in the bootleg tree have some of these songs, but there are still a lot left unaccounted. So I'm asking you, dear Queen fans, to compile another list, whether it's songs you have heard or have heard of existing, as it seems the old list has been deleted with the old board (actually, I'm guessing, as I'm too lazy to hit the search button, but I'm fairly certain it's gone). I also seem to remember John S. Stuart posting a very interesting thing about the A Kind Of Magic sessions, where he named 'Heaven For Everyone' and 'Friends In Pain' as two songs recorded during those sessions. Perhaps, if it's not too much trouble for him, he could contribute some of his extensive knowledge to this list! Thank you, all. |

Thank you Lester & Adam - Nice to see that I am still remembered! (And even quoted correctly!). There is nothing new I can add to the above "A Kind Of Magic" listing - excepting - the official release of the "One Vision 12" extended video", and the other "Magic" related material on the recent DVD set, and a few "home piano & accoustic demos". (which I omited because I received so much flack about the last round of information I shared here). Since then, I thought it was "agreed" it was "taboo" for me to talk about such "unreleased material" because, however altruistic my motives may be, it still upset a large group within this community (whom if I recall correctly accused me of being a "blag" and a "show-off"). Therefore it was quietly "decided" that I should not respond to this type of mail incase I either set off some sort of "collecting warfare" - or (worse-case scenario) delay the release of the proposed box-sets. All I can say is that I hope it will all come out some day - and I also hope that it is sooner - than later. Sorry if this seems to be a cop-out, but, I too have to adhere to the politics of Zone. |
| Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) 26.04.2004 21:03 |
Well I can't help but to be disappointed, but I understand your reason JSS. |
| Adam Baboolal 26.04.2004 21:06 |
I presume that I was one of those people you were referring to. I hope I can set things straight about that John S. I only gave you flack for your knowledge of the "supposed" musical hardware used for Queen's recordings. Remember? It wasn't only me that thought that was a weird thing to post. I remember it all too well, because your post was full of disinformation and you got really angry at that criticism. But a reply was needed to clear it up. Remember the 4-track thing??! lol But that was the only prob I had. I would never criticise you on any other Queen related item. Peace, Adam. |
| John S Stuart 26.04.2004 21:13 |
Thanks Adam B. No: I do not refer to "recording hardware" - I conceded then (as I do now) that what I said then was mistaken and incorrect. (But then again, I am neither a musician or a studio engineer!). Rather, I refer to the above "A Kind Of Magic" unreleased tracks type of posting. Peace be with you too! |

Regarding songs of the Magic era, the notes in the Freddie box set mentioned that Queen revisited Love Makin' Love during the Magic sessions. Has anyone ever heard anything about this? To me, this would undoubtedly be one of the highlights of a possible box set, because I simply adore the version on the Freddie collection. |
| L-R-TIGER1994 26.04.2004 22:49 |
I'd kill to listen to "Assasin" and "Face it alone",I've never heard about "You're the only one" and what about "Brother of mine",does it exist or it's just a rumour?. |
| Chaka 26.04.2004 23:02 |
I'm on the side of Lester, in not caring what I have as far as unreleased songs, so if some kind of e-mail arrangement is reached I'd be interested as well. |

Dear John S Stuart To be honest if I were you I really wouldn't be too bothered about a few folk here being rather upset about your knowledge and collection, In my view this forum is the IDEAL place for someone like you to help others answer genuine questions, for once we can have a real discussion about the music, instead of topics about 'was Freddie really gay' Keep em coming, it's always very informative. |
| Hank H. 27.04.2004 10:43 |
You took the words right out of my mouth. This Zone pissed off many of the most knowledgable people on here in the last two years. If you would like to keep on sharing your information, I'm sure it's much appreciated. |

Any chance of you reposting that list? And if John S. Stuart is out there, I'm sure we'd all still be interested in hearing about your extensive knowledge of Queen's sessions! |

I'm pretty sure 99.9 % of the Queen songs have alternative takes, there's no use in naming, or releasing them all, is it. Just look at the beatles, there are 100s of bootlegs with unreleased stuff only. And we're talking of a band here that excisted for just 10 years, and released almost everything they wrote. and for these: I Can't Live With You, Roger Vocals demo, 1990 You Don't Fool Me, Roger vocals demo, 1995 Driven By You, rumored Queen version from Innuendo sessions, 1990 they don't excist |

Yes, I said they were studio sessions. I just named them because excepting Sessions 1 and 3 they were not released and were not listed. FROM link: Queen's BBC Sessions Queen recorded six sessions for BBC Radio One (usually for the Bob Harris's "Sound of the 70s" programme.

Adam "Minidisc? How can that be? Considering that this technology was proposed in May 16 '91 in Japan. And then released in late '92" Adam, you are of course, correct. Mini disc was not invented pre 1990. Therefore an entry like - "Highlander TV Series Intro Version Unreleased: Home Mini-Disc" - does NOT refer to the ORIGINAL master recording, but a recording which exists in MY personal collection. Therefore, "Silver Salmon" could also be correctly (personally) catalogued as "Unreleased: Home Mini-Disc". However, some comprehensive lists that are repeatedly posted (here and on other sites) are actually plagerised from my own, including the senseless, out-of-context references to minidisc technology. I actually I enjoy the confusion this creates - because it identifies those who are willing to pass of my work as their own. |

At the moment, in public hands, there are about 100 hours of unreleased Beatles demos and alternate takes. There are about 100 minutes of such Queen material. In both cases, such material spreads only when collectors decide to spread it. Shouldn't that tell us something about the difference between hardcore Queen and Beatles collectors who have had access to such material? Just some food for thought. |

Princes Of The Universe Highlander TV Series Intro Version Unreleased: Home Mini-Disc I know there is a TV outro version that contains the last 30 seconds of the song as in the album, but with Freddie vocals removed. I have heard it once while watching the Higlander series on local TV. When I tried to tape it next week the ending has just the regular edit instead. I have never heard it again. I asked in several Highlander forums but never got a definitive answer. |
| The Left Testicle of Freddie 11.10.2004 11:50 |
There is a wealth of rare Queen material that will hopefully see the light of day. I am really desperate to hear the 13-track version of Queen II, personally, although the two additional songs ('Deep Ridge' and 'Surrender To The City') are not quite as polished as the other eleven. |
| Lester Burnham 11.10.2004 12:52 |
Ah yes, Mr. Testicle. Care to add to this list? |
| Shane Jazz 11.10.2004 12:59 |
Did Queen ever actually lay down a track of New Dark Ages, or was it just rehearsed? I thought I remember an old thread where it was mentioned they never properly recorded it. Of course, it's just speculation...A Queen version of Magic is Loose would certainly be fun to hear, however! |
| PabloArg 11.10.2004 13:07 |
Would you want these tracks to be released as: 1.- One or more box sets. 2.- Albums including the tracks in they original state. 3.- Albums reworking the original songs (MIH style) My personal opinion is 2. And 3 for the unfinished demos. That would give me the sensation that the band is still alive. The box set would sound like a final stop. |
| FriedChicken 11.10.2004 14:18 |
1.- One or more box sets. Ofcourse! 2.- Albums including the tracks in they original state. Putting unfinished songs on an album with finished songs???? 3.- Albums reworking the original songs (MIH style) No way. Why on earth would they rework songs which weren't good enough as idea's or demo's. A lot of people seem to forget that unfinished songs didn't get finished because they weren't good enough. So don't expect new 'Bohemian Rhapsodies' or 'Fairy Fellers' |

"The Hitman" (demo) - sung by Brian "Headlong" (demo) - shortened version with no back vocals "Headlong" (video version) - extra guitar bits "Delilah" (demo) - early demo by Freddie and bass/drums/synth "One year of love" (piano version) - can be heard in the Highlander movie. "Who Wants To Live Forever" (video version) - well, I think you know the differences between this one and album/single versions. There are a lot of versions could be add to the list and called as rare or unreleased... |

Mr Stuart and the other collectors here, Do you think there are some demos from the Made In Heaven sessions? I'm not only talking about the original demo tapes they used to record the album afterwards. I'm talking about the new demo tracks recorded from 1993 to 1995. I think some of the tracks were played differently until they found the way the final versions should sound (Brian talked about recording I Was Born To Love You and the time it took). Please remember Roger and John started in 1993 while Brian was still on tour, after that, Brian said the work should get started again. And do you think those 1993-95 demos will be considered real demos to be included in the box-set? Thanks |

Hey, one more question. Do you know a site where I can find lyrics to all of the unreleased songs ( I mean b-sides etc, not other versions of album songs). And do you know where can someone like me, who has NO unreleased stuff get some of these? I have only studio albums and 1 tour dvd, and I know that most of you have much more. You had to get it somehow, so please tell me how :). |

My understanding is that there is enough material to make the studio l.p.s into "double c.d. sets" because of enough material. I hope that one of those discs will have all the audio material on 5.1 as a dual disc like Sony are doing for their artists. This way they could also include film of either unreleased interviews or released interviews or what have you and whatever else on film that doesn't fit on a hits collection. Perhaps alternate versions of their short promotional films (music videos), making ofs of them, and whatever else. Live performances on film could be saved for live c.d./d.v.d dual disc releases. Otherwise further material could be released in the box sets. Again the catelog of studio c.d.s will need to be re-released first this way so that the boxsets will have complete information and so that the catelog will have some time (a few years) to sell before these massive box sets are released. Each of the boxsets should have a few years in between each of their releases as well so that they too will have time to sell well. Remember the Freddie Mercury box set (which was so big that it was not even released in the U.S.) "The Solo Collection" went out of print within a year of its release. I don't think we want that to happen to these box set releases or for the actual catelog either! As John Deacon (or whoever it was) said recently that (aside from probably most stores that sell just music) they are having a hard time now getting any of their c.d.s on the shelves anyway as it is just compilations of their hits that are all that are selling right now at least in the U.S. |

In Portugal it's easy to find any of the Queen albums or DVD. Take care |

hey, some time ago in this thread somebody said that Bohemian Rhapsody more than 7 minutes long is just a rumor. Well on my e-mule there is 7:09 and 7:12 version. Is one of these the one you were talking about? If it is, I think I should download, what do you think? |
| The Fonz 21.09.2005 18:50 |
Download them, but don't expect to hear Bohemian Rhapsody. |

What about "Woe" why can't I find much info on it? I see a rumor that it was mentioned in a magazine previewing A Day at the races tracks and Brian May said something about guyitar overdubs getting ridculous. I would really love to hear this song. Who sings lead? How finished was it? If they do take some Freddie vocals I think an unrelkeased song from that era would have more hit potential in the USA. |

Sorry, what have i read here? The "politics" of the Zone?? John S Stuart - we haven't "talked" before between posts but I have to say, and I must be blunt: see those people who don't like you posting your information? fuck 'em. Tell you how to get round it. Give your lists to Richard, and let him post them on a separate section. I don't think I've ever heard anything more ridiculous. John, you wanna share the info? Go ahead. It's the internet. You'll soon shake off the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune thrown at you by disgruntled and jealous members. Wankers. Go on, my son. Those of us who don't live under George Bush and still have free will, will decide whether or not to read them... Apologies for my bluntness, but that, and the violence, are the price one pays for being from Northern Ireland.... Paul |

I came across an Argentinian Queen fan forum where someone mentions (among other stuff) an unreleased completed ANATO outtake titled "Giraffe Song". link Having read all QZ topics containing JSS's knowledge on what does exist and what not it strikes me as curious that nothing has been discussed of "Giraffe Song". Could anyone please explain? |

Could anyone please explain?Sorry if you mail was lost, but I never read beyond the latest updates. (those are the red folder files - rather than yellow folder files). If your original mail was buried somewhere on page 3, then obviously I did not see it. The best way to re-kindle a thread is to re-post a fresh mail - or deliberately bump. Waiting, it seems, is not a good idea! Personally, I have never heard of either 'Woe' or 'The Giraffe Song'. I would think both are very unlikely as 'ANATO' was a very long and expensive album to make. In fact, home demos like '39' and 'Good Company' were worked on BEFORE taking into the studio. Under those conditions and pressures, I find it hard to believe that they would have expended any energies on tracks which were anything other than destined released versions. Unfortunately, for whatever twisted reason, there are those out there who love to invent such rumours - and before long, these rumours are accepted as fact. One of the things I have tried to do here, is keep the record straight and dismiss such rubbish for what it is. You will also find other serious collectors with the same attitude, so I find it strange that this title appears on a solitary internet site. This does NOT mean that I can say this track does NOT exist with 100%, surity, but it does mean that after all we know, I am 99% sure, this site is either mistaken, or deliberately misleading. |

Thank you kindly for the reply. As I said, my post on 27/12/05 did bring this thread to the top, as naturally expected. I would have imagined that any new post (even a meaningless one) on a topic such as "Unreleased Songs" - the Holy Grail for any Queen collector/fan/etc. - would have raised an eyebrow, but for whatever reason it was overlooked. Again, thank you for setting the record straight. |

The WWRY slow/fast BBC session was released in 1991 on "The Best of King Biscuit Live Volume 4" compilation...published by Sandstone Records in Northridge CA licensed by DIR Broadcasting |

Just look at the beatles, there are 100s of bootlegs with unreleased stuff only. And we're talking of a band here that excisted for just 10 years, and released almost everything they wrote. and for these: I Can't Live With You, Roger Vocals demo, 1990 You Don't Fool Me, Roger vocals demo, 1995 Driven By You, rumored Queen version from Innuendo sessions, 1990 they don't excistYou Don't Fool Me, Roger vocals demo, 1995.

It is indeed a fake and was posted here some time ago. Having never read this original post, certain people out there have some pretty fucking extensive collections of unreleased/demoes etc. Friends In Pain, another name for Friends Will Be Friends perhaps? |
