--- UPDATE (01/02/19): ---
Do you want a different, cleverly designed, and more complete collection regarding Queen rarities? Check this thread, you'll love it (thanks to Golden Salmon): http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1509804/golden-salmons-unusual-anthology.aspx
If you still are interested in my compilation, you're welcome :D
--- UPDATE END ---
Hello everybody! Here I leave, open for everyone, my demos/out-takes collection in which I also include pre-Queen tracks, the BBC sessions and solo demos/out-takes
If there's something I don't have and you can share it, send me a link to download it. I'm gonna include it in this collection.
This is my PERSONAL collection, so it will be up forever until OneDrive closes, become paid, or something like that.
Also, I left private the Smile tracks (they are official), the first and the third session of the BBC sessions (you can find it in At The Beeb/BBC CD), the De Lane Lea Demos (they appear in the 2011 remaster of the first album) and Rain from the Ibex concert (it's included in the Freddie Mercury Solo Collection).
Enjoy.

Thanks BETA 215 although the link doesn't seem to work today opposed to last night. It was great to finally have a better generation demo of a few of these. I'm very grateful

Hi
thanks for sharing your colletion. Link seems to work. Some of the tracks usually circulate in lossy mp3 format only. What about your flac files - lossy or lossless? Did you check them?
regards

Some FLACs are lossy. They are sourced from a bootleg, and they compress them to put all in only one CD (Stealin', BChat).
I think I have a few lossless demos, which were filtered here (KeepYAlive, Cool Cat). But in this moment I cannot confirm it.

But I think it's better to have the lossy files in FLAC. If you convert them to MP3 again, they would lose more quality.

^ Yes, this. I helped BETA fill some gaps in his collection. Some of my files where given to me as FLAC, although likely MP3 sourced. I just didn't want to convert back for the reason BETA has given above.
Hope this is okay :)

Yes, even some demos I found across the net in FLAC are MP3 sourced, like the ones sourced from the Spaced Out bootleg.
