Hi,
i read on german wikipedia that the Demo of Let me Live was entitled as Another Piece of my heart and was recorded during the The "The Works" Sessions with Rod Stewart.
Is there a recording in hands of fans of this surely very interesting demo song?

"Another Piece of My Heart, die Demo-Version dieses Songs, von der Mercurys auf dem Album verwendeter Gesang stammt, war 1983 in Los Angeles von Queen gemeinsam mit Rod Stewart aufgenommen worden."

True. Early Let me Live, but the chorus had that famous line in it, chorus was banned later in the Queen days because of Janis Joplin's song.

I remember emailing Jacky at the fanclub in 1995 soon after I bought Made in Heaven and asked about the reason why the lyrics had those lyrics in it.
It is my understanding that the reason it was changed was because Queen Productions was threatened with a lawsuit (or similar action) from the folks associated with Janis Joplin - and this is why the lyrics in the MIH booklet still appear as found on the original (intended) version of the song.

No. You are mistaking Q+RS with the version on early Made In Heaven pressings. Other than that, you are right. The demo has not leaked, btw, topic-starter.
