see what a fool I been is a much better song than loser in the end IMO, but i think it didn't make Queen2 for it's lack of originality.  Loser in the end wasn't excatly original either though.

In this instance, the fan found it and Greg helped him get Brian to identify it.

IMO The Loser In The End is much better than SWAFIB. TLITE also fits much better into the Queen II album I think.

I would also prefer the BBC version of SWAFIB compared to the B-Side (and even Blurred Vision)




But btw I just noticed my HR Remaster and Singles Collection version have the left and right channel exchanged ?
Which of them is right compared to the original single ?
Buy the reissiued Josef Stalin album - Big Boobs, which influenced Queen to release Hot Space - Out Now - with the new previously unreleased track: Gulag For Everyone

I've never heard of the channels being reversed, with the original 7" single one way and the latter remasters being another way. I don't have the original 7" so I can't compare them. I do have the HR 1991 Queen II re-issue.

I've always liked this song and for the longest time I only had the B-side version. I just chalked it up to Freddie or the band's sense of humor to sing it in a very burlesque way. I actually think that the B-side version (sung the way it was) fits the over-the-top feel of the album, if not the overall fantasy themes. Because it's on my copy of the CD, I consider it a part of the album, closing out Side Black the way "Loser In The End" closes Side White...like a denoumount, if you will.

Musically, I love that it's really down and out bluesy rock, whichever version I listen too.

I meant HR right channel is Singles Collection left Channel and vice versa. I don't own the original 7" so I can't check which of them made a mistake.

Perhaps this would fit more to http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1200669/mistakes-left-on-queen-releases.aspx?page=1

Can anyone with the original 7" single tell us which is correct? I don't have the The Singles Collection.

My money is the HR re-issue being correct or else someone would have noticed by now. Everyone raised a stink about the US "Heaven For Everyone" having it's "Soul Brother" channels reversed, almost immediately.
