Zeni wrote: All God's People Working title: “Africa By Night”. Began life during Freddie’s solo 1987 Barcelona sessions Freddie Mercury solo Barcelona version - Unreleased: Just to clarify things in my head - Is this listing a reference to a third version of All God's People, one that ocurred between the original 1987 Africa By Night version and the 1991 version on Innuendo? Did Freddie cut two demos to the song before the band got involved?

Zeni wrote: It had to do with your re-naming of the demo and the double listing in 1987 and 1988 (Africa By Night in 1987, All God's People in 1988). As usual, I read too much into it. EDIT - ok, we're on the same page now :)

Great - I spend hours of free time on a labour of love, and the best you can come up with is a typo (which I apologised for in advance: "I apologise for any careless omissions or errors...").

Why is it that some people always take every response (or at least a lot of responses) as negative critics? Yes, you "apologise for any careless omissions or errors..." Does that mean that no one can say that there is a spelling error? No, of course not. When someone adds a spelling error, does that mean that he doesn't appreciate all the time and effort you are putting into this? No, of course not. We all (including me) appreciate your work very much. OK, ontopic, I could say that I miss the two different stand-alone versions of 'Guide me home', like I did (and someone else too) in an other topic, but I won't because obviously you didn't appreciated my additions there, so probably you won't appreciate them here too. No hard feelings... and I still appreciate all the work and effort you put into it.

Hank H. wrote: Once again, great information, thanks a lot. This is most interesting: "Offenbach’s Tales Of Hoffman 1 & 2 - Unreleased: Home Mini-Disc" Could you tell us more about those recordings? What are the exact titles of the songs and are those serious attempts? Also, what about the pieces "1&2" by Chopin and the Bach-preludes?

Bohardy-har-har wrote: I'm sure Hank that those pieces you mention are just Mike Moran messing about on the piano.

The intro is based on an aria ('Vesti la giubba') from Leoncavallo's opera 'Pagliacci'.
