[b]*** NOTE ***[/b]
The "Unusual Collection" became the [b]"Unusual Anthology"[/b]. Please go to http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1509804/golden-salmons-unusual-anthology.aspx for the updated volume. Thanks!


May 4th, 2018 (“I don’t like Star Wars!”)

My final unusual upload is [b]"The Unusual Bonuses"[/b] (version 1.0). This volume contains many curious things, generally in very good audio quality. It’s all about… meh, who cares? Does anybody actually read this drivel? Let’s cut the crap and show you the stuff!


[u][b]TRACKLIST[/b][/u]

Now, every volume follows a set of unique rules, exceptions and requests. This is the reference guideline for "The FUNusual Bonuses":

[u][b]COLLABORATIVE GUIDELINE – funUSUAL BONUSES[/b][/u]

This is an open project for all Queen fans. Should you wish to help me modify and improve my collection for everyone to enjoy, please observe the following ideas:


RULES:

- Anything fun in great quality! Anything is valid as long as it’s enjoyable and it doesn’t really fit into the previous 4 volumes. Don’t shun it, fun it!

EXCEPTIONS:

- Something something bonus, something something fun.

REQUESTS:

- Good fun.
- Higher quality and/or lossless sources for current files and fun-ture additions.
- Fun fun fun!



Plenty of curious stuff here! Bonus tracks are meant to be extra goodies: they may not blend in completely with the main content, but fans are always eager to have a little something else, and the more unusual these things are, the better! Truth be told though: you’re here for the jokes in the attached document nobody never, ever reads.

That's all for today! See you tomorrow with... nope, nothing. I'm done. No more original shares from me! I have some other quirky smaller projects in mind, but this was the main course. I hope you enjoyed these odd volumes, which were created with love and keen interest in Queen’s rarities scene. The end?

…

Version 2.0: Golden Salmon’s Unusual Anthology 2018 coming soon*!

* - whenever I feel like it, that is.


[b]*** NOTE ***[/b]
Please go to http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1509804/golden-salmons-unusual-anthology.aspx for the updated volume. Thanks!

[b]DISCLAIMER[/b]: I am aware of the number of tracks that are/were officially available. There will be nothing too recent in this collection that isn't freely and easily available today (through official channels or otherwise, difference being these are downloads rather than streams). Other fans in this site have shared similar status material in their own compilations, but I'll remove anything in order to comply with copyright.

Also, it is worth clarifying what I’m trying to do with my compilations:


[u][b]What this collection actually is:[/b][/u]

- A project made for [b]fun[/b] (first and foremost).
- A [b]COLLABORATIVE[/b] project. You are welcome to discuss, improve and even complain! (Within reason) I'm fully open to remove, revise and rebuild this compilation from the ground up, for the sake of keeping it interesting. Also, please report any mistakes you find regarding dates, typos and whatnot.
- A compilation of [b]unusual[/b] (your mileage may vary!) recordings.
- A [b]different[/b], more [b]original[/b] kind of compilation than previous ones with some twists, again, for the sake of fun.
- A collection [b]aimed at newish fans[/b] to the band, or fans who are familiar with every Queen and solo album but never really delved deep into the sea of alternative Queen versions and rarities. And fans in general, of course.
- A [b]modest[/b] effort to restore some tracks.
- A shiny pointy funny thing. Also, a tasty salmon dish.


[u][b]What this collection is NOT:[/b][/u]

- A comprehensive, rigorous compilation of rarities.
- An "anything goes" file dump. There are rules and quality standards, however loose they may be. (This is an amateur effort!)
- Something meant to blow expert collectors away. I wish!
- A CD-friendly format. None of the volumes may actually fit on a single CD as they are, and there's no artwork provided as of today. Also, some 48 kHz tracks must be downsampled for that purpose.
- A painstaking effort to provide the absolute best of the best quality for all recordings.
- A pyramidal scheme. Definitely not that. Just trapezoidal with something on top.
