Tribute Bands
Almost Queen is the only Queen tribute band I've seen and, in my opinion, the name fits them well. Their shows are like a bizarre Queen show--with Freddie and John from the 1970's and Brian and Roger from the 1980's....

I'm In Love With My Car "engine"
Roger: Nov. 16, 1997 on the BBC I remember my car at the time, because I think we've got the exhaust on the record, and that was a little Alfa Romeo

Brian does not like medleys. (Freddie loved them)
The segue between Death On Two Legs and Killer Queen can be found at the end of DOTL from the Live Killers album, not on ANATO.

mother love demos
IIRC that's not authentic, it's a fan playing a Red Special replica along to the album version and it got mislabeled as such things often do.

just going through my old hub downloads, and I found the song "Feelings," not the one from the News Of The World sessions but the one that was apparently erroneously distributed as an alternate version of Silver Salmo...

excellent information to have yet again. JSS is really a wealth of this stuff that nobody else can seem to get to.

1975 - Ultimate Collection (Part One): A Night At The Opera
the single version of I'm In Love With My Car differentiates in that it starts with the engine revving, and ends in a fade-out; the album version starts with the song straight away and ends with the engine revving and...

1975 - Ultimate Collection (Part One): A Night At The Opera
is there any information that can be shared about the other "acoustic demos/out-takes"? or are these totally unknown at the moment?

1975 - Ultimate Collection (Part One): A Night At The Opera
re: Roger's demo yes, and I believe I've heard tell of (GB's record collector article?) a later I'm In Love With My Car demo with Brian guitar and different lyrics, and "Psycho Legs" listed as the working title for De...

1974 - Ultimate collection (Part Two): Sheer Heart Attack
is the Soundcheck (from the Uris Theatre show) actually from Oxford '73? or is it just a similar soundcheck, or is Oxford fake?

Eponymous Queen or debut album.
re: See What A Fool I've Been this song definetly went through vocal/lyrical changes between the BBC and B-Side versions. I think most live versions are closer to the BBC take. I remember that this song started as Smi...

Juls, Pre-Ordained is a mixture of the Smile songs and some Peter Straker songs that were produced by Freddie Mercury. I believe neither Freddie nor any other Queen members feature on these Straker recordings. John, t...

Eponymous Queen or debut album.
John S Stuart wrote: See What A Fool I’ve Been Smile: Royal Albert Hall 27th February 1969 would I be correct in guessing this is a typo and the BBC Session track has nothing to do with a Smile live performance?

Eponymous Queen or debut album.
ok I understand that; it's not that the original music was changed much (or at least not to the degree as the other Hollywood Records remixes), it's that the production (I guess particularly the drum sound was changed).

Eponymous Queen or debut album.
a question, is or isn't the 1991 "Mad The Swine" release a remix, you have it listed as the US 1991 3:23 Remix, and then state the 1991 release is NOT a remix, I'm a bit confused about that.

John, lest I be accused of "grovelling" I'd just like to thank you for sharing the information that most of us don't have access to, and for not letting the recent drama stop you from doing so.
