Sounds like it !

Here's a better quality rip of the iTunes preview stream, with liberties taken to de-fade in/out so you can better hear the a cappella bit :)

Can you upload it to a page like MEGA/MediaFire? I can't download it.

This is so totally amazing! Greatest Queen(-related) thing I've heard since the Sun City leak featuring My Fairy King!

This is just wonderful!! Thanks for sharing :-)

So it was true..? IT SOUNDS AMAZING BEST RELEASE IN YEARS.

A wonderful recording for the most wonderful group in whole history!!

This live performance is terrific ! Can't stand the fact that we heave yet to wait whole month to get the full release. It's excruciating !
One question though, is it just me or during the "Soldier sailor tinker tailor ploughboy, waiting to hear the sound" part Freddie's voice seem to be sped up ?

That's just you :) Freddie hits the C5 beautifully if you ask me.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that one for me ! :)

To me, the C5 sounds very computer processed which makes me think that he didn't actually hit it in the original tape (possibly cracking it or hitting an A4 or something). If QP wants to pitch correct an icon like Freddie Mercury, they should at least be hiring people that can do it with some finesse.

sounds strange, processed, and unnatural,though.
but nice to hear a gem like "master-stroke"! damn. after all these years...

Freddie just nails the harpsichord part on the piano...................just awesome all the way around......
