The truth Queen/"Fanthology"/etc don't want you to know about Queen II

What a moron.

Anyway...The Game was supposed to be a double LP, but is their shortest album. Interesting. I'd love to know more about The Miracle sessions. Is there anything else, or did they release most everything? There seems to be quite a bit of material (b-sides, etc) released from that period already.

There's been a lot of talk about "The Game" being a double LP. This appears to be common knowledge, but somewhere along the line I missed that: any pointers where I can read that as gospel? Or a video/audio link from an interview?

Or is it something from this very thread that I've managed to skip over??? (it is getting very lengthy lol)

Cheers!!

What the f***

seems like this thread has died a death then? and the topic starter was full of shit after all

no. it doesn't seem he was "full of shit"
balancing all the evidence it's inconclusive - either way
whether he was genuine or full of shit

which is much as i implied (could be the case) in my first reply

I'm exhausted after reading all that. Well done gang, good thread on the whole.

Just in case someone has 6000 pounds stuffed in a drawer somewhere...

You know exactly what it is.....

People still banging on about The Game being a double album... is this a myth created by this thread? Has this ever been raised in any way prior to this thread? Link?

Sometimes secrets can be kept for that long.

We didn't know that Springsteen had recorded an entire follow-up to Darkness until the boxed set came out a couple years back.

Would they really have a whole new reel to reel tape for just this track? Surely it would be on the same tale as the other work from these sessions?  Furthermore, if this genuine, why is this not in the possession of QPL? Might it not simply be a copy of the original master?

So how did we finally find out that the Seven Seasons of Rhye was fake? Did JSS buy it? Anyone else? Who ruled it a fake :p

Everything is popping up now, huh? :)

But where exactly is the logic in keeping it a secret?

i don't think it had to be a deliberate act of secrecy - just an unintentional one.
think about it, how many things do we do in our working lives that we never tell anyone about? well recording music is the same. not all ideas ever get talked about again because they were unimportant just after conception, so they're certainly not worth talking about as some "lazarus" project
