I haven't posted here for AGES...

...but these drums allude to NOTW sessions.

Stylistically they sound so similar to the Spread Your Wings BBC drums, that's a good marker. Also, they just blatantly sound like Rog's NOTW kit.
My understanding is that "Silver Salmon" was penned by Tim Staffell and dated from the Smile era, 1968 to 1970. How can it be from 1971? Unless you meant it was recorded by Queen in 1971, which is likely correct (though whether the recording in question is from 1971 is a debate I left long ago. I'm still not convinced it's from 1977, but if I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it).
Ozz, it's just a song, by some rapper called Andrell D Rodgers,  that samples Under Pressure, and thus is credited to the rapper and Queen/Bowie.

You'll find quite a few songs like that on the BMI database, where members of Queen are credited as a result of somebody else sampling one of their songs.
Gullibility and credulity are considered undesirable qualities in every department of human life -- except religion.
Don't know if it's mentioned in this thread - but the NOTW reissue mentions that there is a 71 recording of Feelings Feelings take where Freddie says John doesn't know it. Shurely shome mishtake moneypenny? If so, assuming someone got their wires crossed, that means the recording of SS IS from 70 / 71. Whilst I'm at it, the sleevenotes are very poorly written.
