Hi everyone. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of NOTW I think that this is a great addition to the new box set. There's a video on youtube by a user called RUDI UK that shares a video of a test pressing of NOTW with the three singles from the album: WWRY, WATC and SYW. The first two are very similar to the final mixes that everybody know, but SYW have some differences on the track, that I think that could be interesting to have on our collections.
I'm not a master "remastering" things, and if somebody could do a better job, please share. Thanks a lot to RUDI UK for shared the video.
I just 'clean' the audio of the video, and make it sounds better. This is the video:

And this is the tracks, separated, clean, and sounding better:

Great share ! On Spread Your Wings the most noticeable differences can be heard near the end of the track

The whole track is different, beginning is different, solo, ending...

Not only the end sounds different. Some guitar parts and the solo are slightly too and it just needs a little bit more sound quality. Can someone separate Spread Your Wings from the others please? Perhaps it is the last take before the album version.

Sorry, I didn´t notice the Mega link. This song is really one of the Queen´s jewels.

Late in 2011, a 3 track test pressing from 1977 was sold that contained three tracks (We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, and Spread Your Wings). According to the listing, there were approximately 50 of the promo test pressings made. This pressing features an early mix of Spread Your Wings. There are some additional ad-libbed type vocals at the end and either alternately mixed guitars or a different guitar performance.
