Is this the real life... Is this just fantasy?

Queenzone poll time:

Seven Seas of Rhye (minus Roy Thomas Baker).

Genuine or fake?

Don't Know but i say yes
sounds amazing anyway Except as it goes of course for the ending,
so it must have meant to be a live rehearsal in studio everyone playing together performance?

yes it a rockier Brian may let loose version of Seven seas of Rhye, presumably not with Roy Thomas baker as you posed the question.
Baker was on holiday wasn't he? as was john Anthony at some point so maybe it is the first version
sound to e they already had written the body of the song as per queen 1 they already had most of the main body of the song even before queen 1 then at that stage but left only a taster
because they were trying out how to end it ready for queen 2 as they had not got the ending perfected yet
so they were tring things out like the thing you posted
but then re listened to what they had put on queen one and settled from that outré style which informed their musical choices of the lead up to to that outré

It sounds genuine.

i have just re listened to it and now i think it is fake
someone else fiddled with the ending someone who has nothing to do with queen

they even try to impersonate Freddie's voice speak and john rogers or Brian's
fooled me first hearing but on second hearing it was like you had changed the file almost it was so obvious it was not them.

It's totally real! That ending is the exact same as the one that appears on the "Instrumental Mix" of SSoR on Queen II's 2011 remaster bonus tracks. It's also freaking sweet. Nice to hear that funky ending along with the vocals.

are you sure?
the guitar sounds terrible , amateurish on second hearing its out of time also in parts you can hear where the fake band come in and that snipped of conversational at the very end is laughable
listen again!
there is a fake bassist fake guitarist and fake drummer playing on it and over it
hope i am not wrong though
oh dear
that would be funny.
but i am sure there are some shenanigans going on here.

I'm not positive, so don't quote me on this, but I believe that the original song was recorded a little bit lower and then the pitch was raised, so that's probably the explanation for the weird out-of-tune heavy guitar chords. As for the conversation stuff, that's just studio chatter and it also in fact appears on the Instrumental Mix of SSoR. I believe this whole thing is basically just the Instrumental Mix with the vocals over it, so it's not a real demo, but it is really Queen.

even if they got studio chatter at the end
which i thought was not Freddie
even if they had that they could still be fakes playing over it

ON NO!! your right it is real
i just listened to it in the remasters LOL
well it shows the difference between practice and finished!

John S Stuart was right again?

No kidding.

Those pesky collectors, always up to no good, always hoarding and never sharing...

What are you all talking about?

Of course it is real - the instrumental with this ending was included on the Island Bonus EP of the 2011 Digital Remaster of the 'Queen II' CD.

The ending to this track was the first time it had been released and was taken from the original multitracks.
