What didn't appear on Freddie Mercury: The Solo Collection

Thank, JM.

When I started accounting for different song versions, I came across the Trainspotter's Guide page in the late '90s. Adam's excellent Queen Vault.com has picked up where it left off. I was surprised by how many different edits and remixes and extended versions there were. Queen has to be right up there with the likes of Bowie in terms of alternative versions.

Horns of Doom ( vocals demo 2nd take )

"Horns of Doom ( vocals demo 2nd take )"

Never heard of it.

I've never heard of this eiether. Is this something you have in your collection Shamar, or just something you've heard of.

I THINK there was a fake version of a vocal take of Horns of Doom floating around in the Napster-days.

That's the most likley explaination. Whenever someone mentions a new demo I am always suspicious that it is a fake, but I have been susprised once or twice.

On topic though, something that doesn't get mentioned very often is the Garden Lodge Tape, although of course we've heard bits.

I've got about 35 minutes of the Garden Lodge 29/2/1988 tape - can't say I ever really listened to it.

Does this recording (post above) has the Chopin piece played by Freddie ?

Haven't got a clue. I just skipped through it and if you've heard the "Shut Up And Die You Fag!"-bits - it's like that, times a 100.

They left out 'Two Worlds Apart', although of course, that eventually got played by the entire band.

Thanks for the plug. I think there was an 'official GB' reply. Although mostly unhelpful, it did add some worthwhile additional insight.

I can't find it (I've tried search - but it doesn't work for me). If anyone can link to that reply, it would give a balance overview to the topic.
