So, Queen posted this on Facebook, today:

This means that they have a Man on Fire version? Never heard about it!

Wow.... a post on Queenzone that is actually vaguely interesting.

Have a biscuit.

I don't get it - wasn't the existence of Man On Fire by Queen not common knowledge?

Pittrek, I didn't knew about it.

If it is common knowledge, I'm really sorry for posting this here, in Serious Discussion!

Interesting to see the actual recording reels however.


Don't it make you stop and wonder why? ?

No. It was common speculation.

Correct. Because up until now we only had the handwritten track listing from the cassette tape courtesy of Peter Freestone & Gary Taylor to even find out about this in the first place, therefore semi-confirming it at the same time.

I'd really like to listen to it someday. Do you guys think Freddie sang it or Rog?

The track listing on that studio sheet is different from this cassette with an early working version of The Works:

(note that there's no ITTWWC yet)

1. Tear It Up
2. Whipping Boy (I Go Crazy)
3. I Want To Break Free
4. Machines (or Back To Humans)
5. Man On Fire
6. Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart (Let Me Live)
7. It's A Hard Life
8. Your Heart Again (Let Me In (Your Heart Again))
9. Man On The Prowl
10. Radio Caca (Radio Ga Ga)
11. Hammer To Fall
12. Keep Passing The Open Windows
13. Man Made Paradise

Also - interesting that they were still using 24 tracks in 1983.

32 track recording already existed in the late 70s.

I always thought The Works was a bit short*; Wonder if they took tracks out that were longer than the newer ones they added.

* As was The Game.

Nice one, Bruno! Boa!

Cheers,

Now that would have been a great Album

Well... could be wrong but the working title often changes in the later stages. So could man on fire turned in man on the Prowl or Man made paradise

They must have decided to cut back on the songs with "Man" in the title!!!! Man On Fire in a Paradise Made On The Prowl...........lol
