studio outtakes, sessions, rehearsals

Hi all,

first of all, a Happy New Year 2014!

I wasn't around for good couple of months and reflected I missed this place and Queen music.

Since most of us are much familiar with live stuff I am curious of any tapes/bootlegs containing studio material (such as sessions, rehearsals, alternate mixes). Do we have any?

Nope.

But I do greatly approve of your user name, if that counts for anything.

The song remains the same :-) :-)

Uhhmm.that look a aweird a bit tot me since i found these:

What's the story with these albums? Are they real?

But the stuff you've found isn't that rare, most of the stuff on de CD's are released and therefor official. And the bootlegs you've found are the bootlegs in poor quality. These bootlegs don't represtent studio outtakes, sesssion, nor rehearsals.

Hmm..so there are no boots with studios tuff anywhere, right? Just official releases.

^ Obviously there are, 'cos you've just found some - but they're shit quality. You could just download what's available here in the announce sections, or rip the demos on youtube, and compile your own CDs?

That's not bad idea at alll...however, I am more keen to get loseless copyf of these boots. Anyone with them?

Would you mind if I ask you for exact topics from where i can get any studio stuff? Sorry for being somewhat 'gimme gimme' but as I said, I wasn't arounf here for some serious time and do not know where I can look for them.

Trouble is if you start collecting demos and such like you can so easily fall into that intentional trap of believing whats writen on the track listings.most of whats out there is fake.
However look out for godfather release called "spaced out" thats a pretty good one to start with.

The bootleg companies process them how they want, but the fact remains that the majority of this stuff came out over 10 years ago in mp3. Getting lossless copies of all the studio outtakes will be a challenge, to say the least.

This issue aside, that first blog you posted is certainly a good start, and pretty much everything is in one convenient place there.

And without opening this can of worms again for people who are tired of talking about it - the Silver Salmon is from 1977, not some point between 71-74. And all four versions are of the same take.

The thing is that link to that CD set doesn't work anymore so I was curious if anyone of you have a copy of it...anyone?

This one, as described by Crazy Duck, has a number of Hot Space, Miracle and Innuendo demos on it: http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1366336/queen-spaced-out-demos-outtakes-wav-torrent.aspx, however, like Bob says above, even the silver pressed CDs are compiled from fan-sourced MP3s, so aren't lossless. You'll struggle to find a truly lossless share of demos.

The CDs you provided links to yourself have a few good demos/out-takes on them, but there are a few fakes on them too. You'd need to download it and syphon the good from the shit.

You can also use the "Google Custom Search" button next to the QZ banner above, using keywords like, for instance, "demo" or "BBC Sessions" - should bring up a number of topics with *hopefully* live links. The topic starters are also happy to seed any torrents if you request it.

Best of luck :)
