You are living in a dream land. Just about the only Freddie stuff I can think of that is remotely useable would be "Self Made Man". And that's mostly a Brian song anyway.
There's nice ideas in the demos. I love "It's So You" for instance, but COME ON.... seriously, wake up. It's not 1994 anymore. Nothing to see here, apart from maybe the odd retake that Brian may or may not want to do on a rainy day...

1. There are no usable demos left in the Jedi Archives. It has been confirmed many times that all they've got are raw versions of already released songs and brief chunks of garbage
2. An internet petition had never in the history of the internet acompished something. It's just a waste of time and money
3. Last official term for the anthology box set vol.1 was Christmas 2009

I don't have any information about how many songs or demos there are in total to make
MIH II, but there's got to be more than what you can easily hear today on the
internet. On the other hand, there could be some new songs. To give an example, in
"News Of The World" there are two songs sung by Brian and one sung by Roger. In this
new album there could be one sung by each and a duet (like "No One But You" or an
arranged version of this song, given that it is a song which never came out in an
"""official""" album). There could be another instrumental theme "Last Horizon" like
or "Bijou" like. They could also take Freddie's solo songs like "There must be more to
life than this" and "Love me like there's no tomorrow" and rearrange them.
Let's see this commentary from a Brian May interview for one of spain's most famous
newspapers:
What is going to happen with all that unreleased Queen material circulating in the web
(demos like feelings feelings, I guess we're falling out, self made man, etc? Will you
ever edit it like a record or in a box like Freddie Mercury's tribute box? Thank you
very much.
Brian: Soon we will keep on thinking what to do with that material and possibly in the
future we will work with it again, but one thing is true: The call from the present
and the future is stronger right now.
Ok, let's think that at least some material could be recicled so as to make three new
songs, let's add an intro and ending for the record, plus the examples given before,
that gives us a total of eleven tracks, and that is enough for a new record.
If there is something that keeps this dream from coming true it is not lack of
material, but Brian and Roger's disposition upon embarking in a project this big.
Cheers,
Fabri (The hopeful stupid man from Dream Land)

I'd love it if Brian and Roger did a new track with Freddie-vocals for inclusion on a boxset. Like adding some new guitar and drums to a track which was never finished. But a whole album? No thanks. I'd much rather see a new album with Paul Rodgers. After it's been out for over 6 months I can safely say it's one of my favourite Queen-albums - I'd rate it waaaay higher than most of their post-ADATR output.

1. What the hell is your problem? Zebonka seemed as though he was breaking 'reality' to you in a nice way.
2. Change your tampon, it seems as though it's about that time.
3. As many demos as Brian has in his personal archives...how many of those do you honestly think were developed enough, and had a clean enough vocal take for them to work with? It's demos we're talking about here...scratch tracks...can you not hear that Made In Heaven sounds like a lot of the album was 'patched' together?
4. Unless you're blowing Greg Brooks, I don't see otherwise how one can have such exclusive access to Queen's rare recordings (outside of the internet).

I'm in the same boat as all you chaps, I only hear what Greg Brooks lets people record serreptitiously. Bless him; he pretends to not want people to do it, but he makes it so easy. The "PROPERTY OF QUEEN PRODUCTIONS" thing is just to cover his ass and make it look like he cares. Really he's more of a Robin Hood though; letting the fans hear stuff that they should've been able to buy by now...
So aside from the studio version of "Hangman" that JSS is sitting on for some bizarre reason, nope - I only know what you know. Although judging by these posts of yours, maybe I know a little more... but that's no achievement. I simply hung around the Announce forum for a while.

Actually I'd like to turn that question back to you. I'd love to know how you think they'd make something listenable out of "A New Life Is Born", where he's barely even singing in English. Or "You Are The Only One" - a beautiful song that is unfortunately made up out of 'deee dee daahs' like "Face It Alone. "I Guess We're Falling Out" is a pretty lousy vocal performance in the context of a Queen release - he was capable of far better at the time.
"Robbery" is kinda cool, but Freddie's vocals on the demo cut out suddenly. Maybe Brian has the rest, or maybe they don't exist, but even so - some of those lyrics are 'da da daa's as well.
As I've said before, "Self Made Man" is a pretty useable song, I think. Not much Freddie in it though.
Another one I'm fond of is "It's So You". If they were to cut it in length and put some decent instrumentation on there, it might be useable.
"Feelings" was a pretty cool song, but I'd love to know how you would:
A) Fix the problems with it.
B) Incorporate it with later period Queen. How would it have sounded on Made in Heaven? It would've been out of place, that's how it would've sounded.
I don't think "There Must Be More To Life Than This" is worth poking with a long stick, let alone revamping into a full Queen song. I think he'd been hanging out with Michael Jackson too much at that stage...
You are in denial if you think there's enough unreleased Freddie material for another full length album [i]that would sound any good[/i] [i]compared to Made In Heaven[/i].
Brian himself has intimated in a vague fashion that they could (possibly) rework past stuff, like certain Hot Space songs that deserve better instrumentation.
And, like with the Beatles Anthology, I reckon they could chase up maybe 2 Freddie demos and turn them into songs.
You need to understand though; we already got the Best of the Rest in 1995. Why on earth would it be any different?
Again, it's like the Beatles. Macca wants to release "Carnival of Light" after it's been in a vault for 40 years. Not because it's a sleeper success or their finest work; but because it's quaint and avant gardé and I guess he thinks it's finally time to put rumours to sleep.

Fabri - The information I wrote above comes from Greg Brooks. He spent last years of his life searching for stuff in the Queen archives and catalogizing it, so he [i]should[/i] know better.
But Brian's comment sounds promissing, however there have been [b]many[/b] promissing comments during the last years about project which never seen the light of day, so I believe it when I see it.

We obviously have a case here of some know-it-alls. Cosmos Rocks is shit. SHIT.
It's still shit compared to... I dunno, Milli Vanilli.
Worst production ever, almost as bad as a Led Zeppelin album.
