What multitracks are out there?

Live versions of 'Liar', 'Ogre Battle', 'Now I´m Here' and 'Seven Seas of Rhye' all had Brian singing the top part except for very specific bits in which he and Roger swapped.

I went back and had a listen to Stone Cold Crazy, you could be right. I think I just assumed all high stuff was Roger, and I didn’t think Brian’s voice had quite the bite or projection to come through in that range. But I also listened to Sail Away Sweet Sister, which has quite a few higher notes that Brian hits very strongly and clearly so I think it could be so on SCC too.

Except the bridge bit where Fred sings these lines, including the high pitched "And"

"Hot child don't you know you're young
You got your whole life ahead of you?
And you can throw it..."

And then Brian rejoins for this line:

"...away too soon" etc

The DTS tracks show that Frederick still sings the lead on 'way too soon' (though there are also backing vocals, likely by Roger, Brian and Frederick together).

Thanks a lot & everything for the people who were so kind to share those jewells but I'm still waitin' for the "rare" 'Queen II' multitracks...

Where the Hell are them???!!!

Had a crack at mixing an acoustic version of Under Pressure, with a mix of familiar and alternate vocals, bringing out the piano and 12-string acoustic:

Multitracks for Under Pressure? Where can I find it?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it and more. Damn! Never thought I'll finally hear a multitrack of Fat Bottomed Girls!

Actually love this mix!

It has just dawned on me that the remixed UP that appeared on Classic Queen has been sourced from these tracks. The lack of 'that's ok', the crispy clean, hi tone hi hat sound and a very prominent 'people on streets' and Roger/Bowie 'last dance' vocal. Going by the last 2 (left and right) tracks on the download anyway.

Bingo. And there's a lot more guitar in the second half of the song too.

Both studio versions are done from these tracks.

Its amazing how the crisp hi hat sound has a horrible lisp on the published version though...

Brian wasn't present when they did the final mix. And maybe Roger was pushed out by then too - Bowie had largely taken over by that point.

It may explain the poor drum sound, and it certainly explains the lack of guitar in the final version. No wonder the Classic Queen version sounds so much better.

But considering that compilation album came out in early 1992, would the remaining members have even gone into the studio to do the remix considering the circumstances? Have Brian and Roger ever spoken about this?

The UP/FBG uploads are truly magnificent. What fun it's been diving into the individual tracks.

To think the 2011 Hot Space bonus disc comprised three live songs and a single mix/b-side that had already been digitised as part of the singles collection. Fans are once again showing QP how it's done.

I'm honestly surprised that we got not just one, but FOUR new multitrack masters leaked. Good god, It's like Christmas time is here again.

Exiting times! And well done IanR :) love it!

any chance of a re-up of Dragon and ANOBTD ? wasn't here last July, so missed these, thanks.

I'm glad some folks liked my stab at a remix. Thanks! Not bad for something I cooked up in Serif MoviePlus x5 of all programs . . .

Just heard the multis, and I gotta say my love for Fat Bottomed Girls has been renewed, as well the song itself.

Damn, I've never heard Freddie sound this gutsy before!
