Great as usually! Thanks! I think you can note that video of 'Headlong' contains additional guitar bits (therefore it's longer than album and single versions) and 'Delilah' from 'Hints...' is not just edit from album version, more like an edit from demo version. And as addition - Queen Talks was compiled and produced by Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher (unlike other 'Innuendo'-related tracks) |
| John S Stuart 13.08.2005 10:25 |
Thanks Serry - all suggestions greatly received as usual. I take your point about Headlong, but if you already own the video version - then you automatically get the different audio version free! However, I have edited for clarification and retitled the video promo as "video version" to cover both bases. |
| Serry... 13.08.2005 10:37 |
Actually I don't remember if 'Queen Rocks' VHS contains this 'longer' or original version (since video was slightly re-edit they could remove these additional bits) of track, need to check it... P.S. I add some other my thoughts to my first reply, just didn't want to start new one for them :) |
| Ray D O'Gaga 13.08.2005 13:44 |
John - Always enjoy and appreciate your posts. Excellent work. Just a couple of additions which may or may not be deemed relevent. 1) The two versions of "I Can't Live With You" from the U.S. promo CD single are remixes by Bran Malouf, which you may or may not want to specifically note. 2) There are two different U.S. promo CD single versions of "These Are the Days of Our Lives", one is a one track CD and the other is a two track CD. The two track version has the full length song and an edit. That edit actually takes out a bit of the guitar solo in the middle of the song (and may also have an edited outro as well - its been some time since I've listened to it). 3) There is a second U.S. promo version of the "These Are the Days of Our Lives" video which preceded and is different from the version released on the "Classic Queen" VHS tape. That earlier U.S. promo version is officially unreleased. The "Classic Queen" version is something of a hybrid of the earlier unreleased U.S. version (additional animation, different editing and video effects) and the U.K. version (the unadorned black and white band performance). |

On the Innuendo vinyl album I have there are some more edited versions of songs, although they are not mentioned on the sleeve. But the time listing on the labels are different and you can hear they sound different too: - I'm going slightly mad - same as Greatest hits II version, you already mentioned that one. - Headlong - same as Greatest hits II version, you already mentioned that one. - I can't live with you - 4:05 -fades out earlier - Don't try so hard - small edit, you already mentioned that one - All God's people - 3:55 - fades out earlier - These are the days of our lives - drum intro cut, you already mentioned that one - The hitman - 3:43 - vinyl version also fades out much earlier - Bijou - much editied, you already mentioned that one |

One addition: Brian + Roger on Rockline (US Radio Show) on February 4, 1991. |
| Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) 13.08.2005 15:28 |
I think there are two different mixes to the video for Innuendo as well. There should be one that is approximately 6:56 and one that is 6:39. |

The above collection of Radio Interviews are also known as the "Zoombox Tour", as Brian was endorsing the Zoombox amplifier, (about the size of a modern mini-disc player), which allowed him to plug-in and play alongside classic Queen tracks. I must confess, I do have some of these interviews - certainly the KEWB version springs to mind - but not all. However, there was a bootleg CD available, which excised the interviews, and collected all the Brian play-along tracks, and tried to pass them off as demos. But ofcourse on listening, you could hear both Brian and the DJ's introduce the respective tracks! Was that Tour in 1991? Again, thanks for the contributions. |

Just to demonstrate that it was possible to include 60 minutes of music on a single LP, and that there was no real reason (other than financial) to edit the CD version of Innuendo in 1991 into a cut LP version.While it may physically have been possible to cut a vinyl album to include 60mins of music, that doesnt mean it was a good idea. Generally sound quality - and particularly bass response - suffered. It is generally considered that from an audio point of view a vinyl album side should not include more than 22mins of music. If you do you risk jumping, bad bass response and the more you cram in there, the worse the sound quality can be. In the case of Queen's Innuendo album I think physically trying to cut a vinyl side that included Innuendo [the track] and I Cant Live With You etc and fit more than 25mins of music would have been a mistake. The "Golden Hour Of Status Quo" is NOT an album Id use to suggest that good sound quality is possible over 60mins on a vinyl album. Its not greed in this case at all. There are lots of albums out there to back this up. Steve |

| John S Stuart 14.08.2005 09:36 |
Serry - you beat me by a few minutes! Pussy - the idea here is not to list every single release, picture disc, or compilation. The idea is to list musically unique tracks only. If you have the following tracks: Show Must Go On Album Version Innuendo: Parlophone CDP 79 5887 2 LP Vinyl Edit Innuendo: Parlophone PCSD 115 Karaoke Instrumental Japan Toshiba EMI TOLW - 3249.50 1998 eYe Full Instrumental Electronic Arts DDE05501 101S Greatest Flix II Video Intro Greatest Flix I & II: Pioneer PLMPD 01171 Promotional Video Greatest Flix I & II: Pioneer PLMPD 01171 There is MUSICALLY no need to purchase the disc you suggest (other than collectable purposes). As Serry suggests - I originally thought an ultimate discography would be out of the ways and means of most fans (for example who realistically can afford c£2,000 for Rhapsody in blue?), but I think all fans can trace those musically different tracks much more easilly - hence the title "Ultimate Collection". |
| John S Stuart 14.08.2005 13:37 |
Oberon62AU: I think we are talking at cross purposes here. First the Status Quo LP was released 20 years before Innuendo, and certainly by the time the Queen LP was released, album technology had advanced so much as to almost make your argument redundant. Certainly, almost all classical LP's (particularly on the Deutch Gramophone label) were able to squeeze more than 60 mins of quality music onto a single LP, but I digress, as that misses the point. My point is that I am against cutting any art form to fit a restricted space. Therefore a double LP of uncut tracks is better, in my mind at least, than a single disc of bastardised edits. For example, who would cut the Mona Lisa, to fit a smaller frame, or a classic (lengthy) movie like "Titanic" to fit a single-sided disc? At least in the days of early DVD's movies like "Jackie Brown" and "Casino" were "flippers" in that both sides of the DVD were utilised - rather than edit the film to fit. Financially, the raw costs to produce a double LP are (relatively) not that more expensive to produce than a single disc. So to use this as an excuse is not really that creditable. (Besides some non-album B-sides could have been considered if there were not enough tracks to justify a 2 LP set). Don't get me wrong, I am not arguing against you, and I do accept your point as valid. However, I do not believe, (and never will) that CUTTING musical tracks to fit an LP is justified - WHATEVER the reason. |
| John S Stuart 15.08.2005 16:28 |
Sorry Alex - In a sense, I thought you answered your own questions - but here goes... "you point Hitman as a promo teaser tape version AND Brian vocal version" Yes they are both the same. As you are aware, the teaser version is an extract of the full Brian May demo, and I do not think the full Brian May version has ever surfaced - yet. "...a complete version of Delilah?" I know what you mean here (before some smart ass replies it exists on Innuendo) but - Yes there is. Also remember that because of the way music is recorded, all Queen tracks exist as both full Karaoke and accapella versions, but I thought this would be too tedious to write each time, so a full Innuendo instrumental may be a nice treat! |
| Adam Baboolal 15.08.2005 17:37 |
I too, have brought this up before but have been shot down about it. Where did Oberon and I get this notion that they edited the album to get the best out of the sound response?
Btw John, on your statement about flipper dvd discs being the better because they're not edited... wrong. The actual content isn't any different to other discs. Flipper discs held 4.7GB on each side, just like the dvd-5 disc format does. However, they quickly got rid of this because they (movie studios) could pay a little more for a bigger, single-sided 8.5GB sized disc. And it was better for consumers as they liked not having to get up half-way through to turn it over!
What you also have to realise is that these dual layer discs that hold the film on one side are actually two of those old flipper-sides discs stuck together to equal twice the space. Btw, I'd better make this clear, I don't mean two literal flipper discs stuck together! They're two 4.7GB layers stuck together to form a close to double amount of space. That's why they call them dual layer and warn of a pause during the middle of the film, because the laser switches intensity at that point and penetrates the first layer to reach the second.
Plus, as I've been planning a film for the last 4 years, I can tell you that there's very little real difference between encodings anyway, unless it's a ridiculous size difference. My teacher at college even discussed this with us during our readings of current and past media last week. I'm sure we're not getting lied to. :)
Btw, how much does it cost to mass produce a double-LP rather than the single disc version they released for Innuendo? I guess we could be talking millions of units, though I can't be entirely sure. Maybe only a few hundred thousand units.
Obviously it did seem strange to edit those tracks for an LP release. But they did. Not great, but not the end of the world.

They're all separate tracks anyway, so all one has to do is turn off the lead vocal parts and instant instrumental version. Of course, for a proper karaoke version, they'd remix everything so that things sound better without the vocal. That's mandatory, btw. Peace, Adam. |

Adam: What does you mean about full karaoke and accapella versions? They're all separate tracks anyway, so all one has to do is turn off the lead vocal parts and instant instrumental version. Of course, for a proper karaoke version, they'd remix everything so that things sound better without the vocal. That's mandatory, btw. Adam - you know that, and I know that, but the point is that some people don't. Therefore, I was just informing that a "dedicated" instrumental (or karaoke) version of the lead "Innuendo" track "exists" - even if it has not been recorded "as such" yet. For example: if all the mules in the world were extinct, as long as both donkeys and horses exist - no problem. It is the same with most popular music. Almost EVERY Queen track, theoretically at least, could be released as an instrumental version. Likewise, the same could be said for purely accapella versions also. Finally, as you also suggest, because the original individual elements survive on seperate tracks, it is also theoretically possible to create new extended 12" versions (or hybrids like in the case of the FM collection), without the need of new "recordings" - mash-ups, effects or whatever. So my point is - even without the release of rarities, it is still possible to create CDs of new stuff. As I said, it may seem very elementary stuff to you, but when some newbie asks me "is there an instrumental version of "Killer Queen" - or "Love of My Life?", if I return the above reply, they usually ask next, "Why have you not included this in your "Ultimate Collection" threads?". That, then becomes a very legitimate question. Therefore, it is far easier to say: "...because of the way music is recorded, all Queen tracks exist as both full Karaoke and accapella versions, but I thought this would be too tedious to write each time, so a full Innuendo instrumental may be a nice treat!" |

Just being a bit pedantic here - Metallica's song is "Enter Sandman", and not "Enter The Sandman". And I believe the cover of SCC first appeared on the "Electra's 40th Anniversary" (Rubaiyat) double CD set in 1990. Though you may already know this. |

John, I've got a couple of questions on the "Innuendo" material if you don't mind: where you say Bijou: Original Demo: Two songs snapped together - Unreleased does this mean the guitar sections and vocal section were planned as separate songs as in the case of Breakthru? also, where "Hybrid" versions of songs such as Innuendo: Full 12" Video/Explosive Hybrid - Unreleased: Home Mini-Disc are noted, are these "hybrids" pieced together by you or other fans from the incomplete individual versions, or are these stand-alone, "separate" recordings of the "complete" tracks? |

Finally, to be honest, I have never thought about that explosion coming from another track - so I do not know, (perhaps other 'zoners can help out here?). However, unlike his famous "Thunderbolt", God did NOT get a credit on this album, so it's definitely not from him! |

I think the Blue Rock special is the EPK that was released by the band on VHS in 1991. I think there were snippets of the Geneva 90 gig on there that were shown whilst the regular version of Life Changes was on there - can't remember seeing a video for Millionaire though! Great EPK though!!! Shame there was no proper video for Life Changes since it got pulled from release.... Actually on the subject of The Cross, I heard rumour of a Queen version of New Dark Ages - can anyone shed any light on that? |

Thanks for your reply John , ever informative , can I ask one more question ? You mention a Queen demo of "Freedom Train" - who is on vocals Rogar or Freddie , Thanks . The tribute show broadcast on monday 25th november 1991 featured bits of the 1989 mike read interview , but the show was different , and ended with Nicky Campbell ( yes he off watchdog ) introducing the start of his show by reading out a fax from BM ,RT , JD and Jim Beach , talking about " As soon as we are able we would like to celebrate his life in the style to which he was accustomed" - I taped this show and have since put it on CD a couple of years ago and traded it with people in U.K , Italy , USA , so as far as know all the copies doing the rounds in collecting circles come from my original TDK tape - if anyone wants a copy on cdr ( full soundboard )post here , and I will trade for Queen+ P.R dvd's Italy , wembley etc |

The LP features some additional edits that you haven't mentioned, namely Headlong (same as the GH2 version), I Can't Live With You (4:04), All God's People (a tiny edit at 3:53), and The Hitman (3:43). Also, for your 1995 section, the DVD of 'Made In Heaven - The Films' features 29 second excerpts of the 9 video tracks on the track selection screen, whilst the LP of 'Made In Heaven' has a 4:25 edit of 'I Was Born To Love You'. Finally, Greatest Flix III has slightly different audio for Barcelona (4:25; different only in the first couple of seconds), Heaven For Everyone (4:44; slightly different lyrics in the intro), and the video of 'Under Pressure' has a four second longer instrumental section in it. That's all the corrections for now, many thanks for all your hard work in compiling these incredible lists! |

Sorry, I also forgot to ask - did you intentionally leave out the tracks by Queen + Paul Rodgers (both on ROTC and the Official Downloads) or is this just an accidental omission? |

Forgive me for bumping this thread, but a thought just entered my mind: in 1991, after Innuendo was released, the band were reported to have entered the studios again to record material for non-album B-sides. As we know, they started to work on songs for another album, but is it possible that the only non-album B-side from the Innuendo era - 'Lost Opportunity' - was recorded during these sessions? |

But wasn't there only about 4 weeks between the release of the Innuendo album and the I'm Going Slightly Mad single? |

+ DJ Rembrandt - The Show Must Go On (Trance Mix) "Freddie Mercury, circa his most melodramatic, singing ‘The Show Must Go On’ vocally booted over the top of a Push inspired track. A faintly grim prospect in most peoples book I’ll wager. Which makes it pleasurable to find out that this is actually better than it would appear on paper. The backing track itself is easily strong enough as a stand-alone dub. The production is crystal clear with a thunderously good break and riff, damn close quality wise to that of an actual Push record. Freddie unfortunately doesn’t fair quite as well. After a few listens the mixture develops a dubious charm of sorts but the vocal gets heavily lost at the tracks busiest stages. A greater shame though is that as a one sided record the opportunity to provide a dub was a gift horse missed indeed." Also released on various compiltation CDs of trance music like "TranZmission #13" and others. |

The eYe instrumentals don't include backing vocals, and that isn't something good in my opinion. One question: Does anybody know if there exists a karaoke version of Don't Try So Hard? It's one of my favourite songs, but I can't find an instrumental track anywhere. Thank you, John S Stuart, for posting this article. TheHeavenlyOne |

{Financially, the raw costs to produce a double LP are (relatively) not that more expensive to produce than a single disc. So to use this as an excuse is not really that creditable. (Besides some non-album B-sides could have been considered if there were not enough tracks to justify a 2 LP set).} John, you're forgetting one thing - the cost of the double LP would have been absorbed by the band - not the record company. That still doesn't explain why they wouldn't have just crammed the uncut songs onto the LP (it would have been possible). The sound quality is not very good, even with the edits. A good example is Metallica's ...And Justice For All, which lasts 65 minutes. Metallica absorbed the cost of pressing it onto 2LP's. |

Now you could probably add "Ain't Put Nothing Down" The Cross Section by Clayton Moss (digital download + CD version) 4:32 |

Thank you, John S Stuart, for posting this article. TheHeavenlyOne As far as I've heard, no instrumental or karaoke version of this has been issued. One might have been done for The eYe PC game and not been included, but that's 100% pure speculation with no basis in currently verifiable fact. |
