And ends with 'asje'? :D

By the way they were both recorded on the 29th, not the 28th as you say, just different years and months.[/QUOTE]

Hmm... drop me a line at mrducksoup@hotmail.com please. I'm interested. Loads of rare stuff to trade...

At the risk of sounding totally stupid here... what exactly do you guys mean by a 'Garden Lodge tape'? I'm just curious. Thanks

Lots of gay crap no-one would give a sh*t about if it weren't for one of the guys being Freddie Mercury.

Um... charming. Can I have another explanation?

I can't give a different description to three or four guys hysterically singing Que Sera Sera or "Fuck Off and Die You Fag". Sorry.

It's a home recording of Freddie, Peter Straker and someone else (I forget who) at Garden Lodge, playing the piano and singing. Interesting to listen to once, but I prefer the outtakes from Barcelona.

Ok, thanks guys :)

Thats someone else would be Mike Moran

All three tapes are of interest to Queen and especially Freddie fans in particular, as this was a very creative time in his life (1987 - 1988)especially so as he found someone he could work with who would play the piano, as Freddie worked more on the lyrics and ideas to potential songs. As for the 'Jokey' songs, this is of interest to hear Freddie at home and not in a studio, very relaxed and at ease with his friends around him. Something that had never been heard before.

Correction: Your memory isn't what YOU THINK it used to be! ;-)

I saw Freddie long video christmas in 1987 and a video how to play with Freddie the little guy maybe it was the son of Mary Austin was christmas in 1990
and a video from the summer of 1991 where only garden show where Freddie and Peter Freestone walk the garden

Question: since Peter Straker was mentioned here. Him being in the Mercury inner circle means that he was also gay?
