I SEARCH THIS SONG
1)Dog With A Bone
2)Face It Alone: a demo from 1990 from the Innuendo sessions. It's one of the longer demos, because this one has a running time of 10 minutes. It's something like a three-piece demo and should be a great ballad.
3)Freedom Train: originally started as a Queen track during the Innuendo sessions. No further info available unfortunatly.
4)Hangman: a song that Queen played live at many gigs, but a studio recording never appeared on any album. A demo version or studio live take exists on a 10" Trident acetate. It is said that Freddie wrote the lyrics and Brian the music, although some say that it originally was a Wreckage song.
5)Man Made Paradise: originally a track by Freddie for his solo album Mr Bad Guy from 1985. There's however a Queen version available which lasts for about one minute. A sample can be heard on the DVD The Untold Story in Freddie's box set (it's also possible that this sample is one of Freddie's own demos without Roger, Brian and John).
6)Sandbox: a jam session recorded during the Game sessions in 1979. It's an instrumental piece with lots of piano and a remarkable bass track. It was however never used for a released track and was shelved to be never used again.
7)Victory: an unreleased Queen song from the early 80's. Never finished and some time later re-worked with just Freddie and Michael Jackson. A few good takes should exist of this song.
thanks
8)Africa By Night: an early demo version by Freddie from the Barcelona sessions that later became Queen's All God's People. Queen re-worked it, so why wasn't the Freddie demo available on the 2000 box set? Probably because the Freddie demo version and the Queen demo version almost sound the same (like the Man Made Paradise demo of Freddie and Queen), so my guess is that we will only see the Queen demo version and never the Freddie version.
9)Creatures Of The Night: probably an unreleased demo by Freddie recorded during the Mr Bad Guy sessions, although I have no information about this track. It's unreleased (if it exists) and will probably never see the light of day.

Come on, guys! Some fans haven't been around for a long time so they probably don't know what's rare and what isn't. Give the guy a break, will ya?
Here's my response:
1)Dog With A Bone
At least two recordings of that song can be found online. Try to use the search function of the forum, I'm sure you'll find something.
2)Face It Alone
Many of us are looking for this one and some people actually have it, but they are not sharing. Sorry, no help here.
3)Freedom Train
Haven't heard this, but I sure would love to. There are more songs from the solo albums that have Queen versions, but they are yet to surface. We'll have to wait for the Holy Grail (I mean the Box Sets).
4)Hangman
This is fairly common. I'm sure it won't be that hard to find. I'll upload it for you if no one else can be bothered.
5)Man Made Paradise
Watch "The Untold Story". Don't get too distracted or you'll miss it.
6)Sandbox
You know, some things are best left in the vaults. Would you really want to hear a crap "song" by an otherwise perfect band?
7)Victory
Unfortunately this is likely to remain unreleased. Pity, we are told that the song is quite good. I believe that at some point there were rumours about Brian, Roger and John working on the song with Michael Jackson, but nothing came out of it.
8)Africa By Night
Read this line again: "later became Queen's All God's People"... Would you really want to hear anything else? :)
9)Creatures Of The Night
Sorry... this sounds like just another jam-session. If it wasn't deemed good enough for the Freddie box it will probably never see the light of day.
Hope this helps, mate. Cheers, and best of luck to you!

I sure as shit hope that Face it Alone finds its way into whatever box set comes out, because the first thing I do when I get it will be to come here and let off a very big belly laugh.
