Almost all recordings are publicly available
Long ago mad the swine appeared out of nowhere as a b side, so it shows there could be gems out there !
Yet another website that incorrectly labels Silver Salmon and Feelings as 1972, when they're actually from 1977. There's absolutely no evidence that those tracks were hashed out that year.
"Feelings" was just to way ahead of itself to be released in 1972 and yes it certainly is 1977.
silver salmon i would say around 1971 to 1972.

I could imagine that Silver Salmon was written in the early 70's. The songwriting is a bit too "experimental" to be from the NOTW period when it was recorded.
While the song was apparently co-written by Tim Staffell in the very early days, the particular recording we've heard is from 1977. It has been discussed here many times..
Roger is using his News Of The World drum kit, the recording's quality and mix are identical to Feelings Feelings take 9 (which is definitely from 77), Mercury's voice is more developed, etc.

NOTW was a "let's strip down and get back to basics" album. This song was just an idea that was sitting around from years back and they gave it a try.
It's a lot more believable to have it from 77 than 76, that's for sure.

I know the recording is from '77. But as you say, the song is probably older than that.

I really hope a better quality recording of Silver Salmon was recorded.
Sorry for that site but it wasn't updated for about 12 years ... I just don't have a time and suppose I forgot password for that site to login and change few mistakes..:/

A few mistakes in the info, but good anyway.
I dunno why people are so intrigued by Silver Salmon. Its crap.
I think a more polished recording could sound okay, preferably without that voice crack at the start. The guitar is pretty uninspired overall, mostly just playing chunky fifth chords.
It's a great track IMO.
