But just as with the vocal, guide backing tracks can, and often are recorded so the track can be built on, then a final 'take' recorded later on which will appear on the record. Ultimitely we will never know but its frustrating to know that there must be reams of stuff on tapes all over the place with amazing things on that will never be heard.

After all, THANKS And91 for share this discovery!, guide vocals or whatever you want....definitely is another vocal take

it's not. they're not the same thing
guide vocal: a "run thru" for timing purposes
take: an attempt at laying down a finished track
In this instance it is a take.
Great find !
Without a doubt it isn't a guide vocal, as Mercury is singing full tilt. It's another take that bled through to the bass track.
I wonder if they still have the actual take on tape ? Box set material, if it ever happens...
