There's evidence that at least part of 'Bo Rhap' (and two other 'Opera' songs) had been done by the 18th of August, thus rendering the '24th of August' start completely false. Yet another mistake/error from that 1995 SOS article.

Wow!! I love info like this!!
When I bought "Made In Heaven" back in '95, I vaguely knew about the recording dates (year-wise) for the title track, IWBTLY, HFE, AWT and ML, but up until a few years ago I was convinced that LML, IABD and TMLWKY had all been recorded post Innuendo in 1991.
Topics like this fascinate me!!

There's probably little information about it available, but I'm sort of interested in how Made In Heaven came together: when did they actually decide to make an album, and how did they choose the pieces for the puzzle?

I assume that in 1991, with only 2 and a half songs worked on, they didn't actually intend to make an album, and Freddie's opinion about reworking his solo tracks wasn't asked as that hadn't even crossed their mind yet. They probably got the idea for an album in 1993-94, but I wonder if they considered working on any other tracks? The material on MIH suggests there were no other Freddie vocals from 1990-91 that could be used (no Face It Alone or Freedom Train for example), but were there any alternative options for songs like IABD or IWBTLY...

Here's that topic:

Bumped.

What evidence is there of additional tracks having been recorded during the Queen (I) sessions? Aside from "Mad The Swine", that is. I mean, it's fairly unusual for a beginning band to have a surplus of actual recordings at the time of a first album. Even someone like Bruce Springsteen, who is well-known for recording much more than could possibly fit on an album, didn't have much of a surplus for his first two albums.

In fact, you've just given me a great idea for a thread.

Glad to be of service, but I would still like to know what information there is about other songs recorded during the Queen I-sessions.

None that I know of. There's of course the whole thing about 'Hangman' and the theory about a Trident take of 'Night Comes Down', even though it's far more likely that the latter never existed and that's why they used the demo.

Bumped.

Nothing to add - other than what a brilliant piece of work; wonder if Greggy-Weggy Brooks has anything even remotely close to this that is all his own work......?

Well, he can do something way, way better, since he's got access to a lot of information I'll never even come close to.

Sebastian, RE:

>>Well, he can do something way, way better, since he's got access to a lot of information I'll never even come close to.

What he *CAN* do, *SHOULD* do and *WILL* do are entirely different beasts. What he'll *PROBABLY* do, based on previous evidence, is take your fine work and pass it off as his own without acknowledging you at all as the source.

The fat, beardy one is a bit like Led Zeppelin really.........all things considered........

I don't mind. As long as Queen research moves along, it doesn't matter who does it and/or who takes credit for it.

Hello,
My name is Sabastian, What I wrote is RIGHT what they write is WRONG.

You think that you're so good in all the things about Queen Studiorecordings, it irritates me.
