Thanks a lot, nice work indeed!

thank you for this huge work!

i was wondering if you considered to add the we will rock you live at pavarotti and friends 2003. It was quite a unique version of this song.

Thank you!

As a matter of fact, my intention from the beginning with the "Unusual Collection" (now "Unusual Anthology") is for it to become a collaborative project, so I appreciate the suggestions!

I have a few ideas to add a handful of tracks to the collection sometime in the future and I haven't thoroughly checked that WWRY version, so I might consider it. Cheers!

EDIT: just listened to it, it's quite similar to the John Farnham / 5ive versions (already included) rather than being something as unique as the very distinct Songwriters HOF version.

Awesome! Thanks a lot for share!

Thank you very much. That's a great compilation indeed.
Heartfelt thanks.

Bump!

Since we're just mere days away from this year's big event (the film!), I thought I'd update this share as well as the "Innuendo Collection" to celebrate! For the new fans :-)


[u][b]ADDITIONS[/b][/u]
Every volume has been updated with a brand new track! These are labeled as EXTRA:

- Performances:
[b]Rock It (Prime Jive) - Freddie on lead vocals[/b] - the only live track that doesn't originally feature Freddie in the studio version yet to be released officially. Modern Times Rock'n'Roll, '39 and Sleeping On The Sidewalk with Freddie on vocals have been on albums, unlike this one.

- Versions:
[b]Otro Lugar (Another World - Spanish version)[/b] - the only song fully sang by a Queen member in a language other than English - together with Freddie's "Ensueño".

- Shares:
[b]Let's Make Love (1986 demo snippet)[/b] - the only unknown recording to surface in the last few years.

- Mixes:
[b]Last Horizon (backing track)[/b] - an "official" mix that totally fits here.

- Bonuses:
[b]One Vision (longer outtake from GVH2)[/b] - this is a more complete "Fun Vision" recording than the popular one from Magic Years, with no voice overs.

- Volume +:
[b]Brian May + My Chemical Romance - We Will Rock You (live)[/b] - another professionally recorded collaboration that I missed originally.


Also, I created and included a [b]"VOLUME + HIGHLIGHTS"[/b] file that showcases some of the totally worthy, very cool Queen-like moments that Brian and Roger have in this compilation, just in case someone hasn't checked these tracks out. You can find it here as well, attached below.


[u][b]CHANGES[/b][/u]

- Revised document (new track info, improved format for better readability, updated stats and some text)
- Some filenames have been revised to make them more consistent
- Minor IDtag corrections
- Updated MP3 version


I think this will be the last update to this share, but never say never. Who knows what will be next in the Queen collecting scene.

Cheers!


VOLUME + HIGHLIGHTS ATTACHED HERE

you rock man!! I really think that you need to do more of this. A collection of each album will be absolute great!! :D
thanks again

Thank you so so so much for this!! It still amazes me that there are versions and snippets that I've never heard before, thanks again!!!

Thanks for a really fine collection! But can I just point out that the PDF notes for volume 4 has many tracks missing (eg. 2-10 and many of the 20s). Any chance of a corrected version? It's too good to be anything less than perfect :) :)

Wow, someone really cared about reading the PDF doc? It's nothing special, but I thought I'd write down a few things and crack some bad jokes (I did it all for fun, really) about what's included in the share. Thank you for the appreciation in any case :-)

As stated in the doc, the reason why some tracks in volume 4 aren't described or commented is the fact that they're self-explanatory, in terms of what they are. I mean, there's not much more I could tell you about "Tenement Funster (instrumental)" other than it doesn't feature any vocals. It's not like I am an expert who can talk about the art behind the song, so I can't add any meaningful written content about it.

The Last Horizon Backing Track is official, released on BM's website, years ago.

Sorry. You already noted that. I just read.
There are also 2 mixes of WATC (Ft. Robbie Williams), one of them minus orchestra.

Yeah, there are plenty of versions left out. Speaking only of Volume +, you have several other Ian & Belinda WWTLF versions, there's another Brian May + J.Rush version without Brian's vocals, three versions of WATC with Robbie Williams, an instrumental of Annie Crummer's AOBTD, more NOBY versions with Kerry Ellis and without orchestral intro... And some other things I may not talk about, including lesser collaborations.

Perhaps there was no point in including the edited WWRY version of the 2012 Olympics, but I won't change that now. However, I missed the three Rock Gala tracks, and I think I will do something with that before the end of the year.


[b]UPDATE:[/b] Just before the new year, I've added the Rock Gala Queen+ tracks :-)

Also to note, a very, very nice mix of save me was done by PiotreQrmx (I think), by Kerry Ellis and the old Queen version. Totally Worth it!
