Fake

Sounds to me like the version we all know, with some slight distortion/pitching due to it probably being taken from an old tape or something. The ending sounds genuine though, not edited together from the 2011 bonustrack. Is this the much rumoured 'wrong backing track' version? I'd say it's real for now...?

Sounds like real but with a glitch which is supposed to act as a watermark.

i'm guessing real (though I fully understand all the easy options there are for someone to make something genuine sound fake or something fake sound genuine)... could this be from an acetate Brian had made to give a trial listen to some guitar overdubs in the middle? some of them sound uncharacteristically up in the mix...

either way, I freaking LOVE the game... more more!

listen to the guitar at 0:44
and the keyboard at 1:48 onwards
that's definitely different

it'll probably turn out fake - but i love it, and would love it ot be genuine

Parts of the guitar track from different parts of the song have either been flown in or an original piece was turned down in the final mix. The ending has just been faded out quick and early. Could be fake or real. The thing is - it isnt different enough, if it is real and I paid £XXXXX for it as an acetate on ebay I would be gutted.

I like these threads JSS, keep them coming.....my guess is its a fake. sounds as though parts of the Seven Seas from the first album have been mashed in to the single version. But I'm probably wrong!

I guess it's fake... But I guess Freddie's vocals are the real thing :-)

fake thanks

Sounds like someones been fiddling around with the leaked Rock Band multitrack stems. I call fake.

They could be fake all of them.

but as to the file, yes totally obviously fake.
A very unrewarding remix taking all the highlight away no crescendo on the break bit, Queen would never chose those things.
This Reminds me of hoax busters call

Regardless of whether this is real (ie by the band) or 'fake' (created by someone outside QPL, it's quite odd to think that if a fan takes a few stems, or creats a mix of something, it's worth nothing in monetary terms but may artistically be very valid. However the same track may be given by the band to an outside person to create an 'official' mix which may then become highly sought after and valuable.

An example would be the vocal and guitar mix of I'm In Love with My Car from the recent deluxe reissues; if a fan had got hold of the master tracks and created exactly the same mix this would be completely disregarded by fandom, and would join the huge pile of 'bedroom mixes' out there.
