Golden Salmon's Unusual Anthology (Final Update)

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!

Now that you mention it, here's a discarded track from this share. I suppose this was originally an early version of the Brian + Kerry + Rufus Tiger version that I included, kind of funny that they used it the way it is.


Brian May + Kerry Ellis - Save Me (2010 'Save Me' campaign theme, guitar & voice duet)

Amazing. Here is the fan mix I told you before.

Oh my, I need to get a hard drive so I can download more of this stuff. I just don't have enough room on my rubbish laptop, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of this glory Golden Salmon.

My first download was the instrumental You Take my Breath Away. I spent the best part of a day transcribing the piano part for this a few months ago (I know there are versions online, but they're interpretations and I wanted to do my own from Freddie's playing) and gosh - now I see I could have listened to this and done it so much more easily than having to try to hear beneath the vocals. But now I can check over what I wrote before and get it properly right when next I have time. I know that's not entirely what these glorious sharings are for, but you know... whatever we take from them, right? I am so looking forward to delving properly into all of this - thank you!

Great, i'm very appriciated for you making, sharing (and replenishing!) of this beautiful collection. But i need to clarify some things:

1) Are you making updates in FLAC and MP3 versions of The Unusual Anthology simultaneously?

i.e. add new song to FLAC archive and to MP3 at the same time.

2) Why don't you add "State of Shock" w. Fred vocals and "Victory" ?

These are good songs, "State ..." with Jagger, Mercury and Jackson vocals are
available on YouTube in different mixes and variations...at least were on 2017-18

Yes, both the FLAC + MP3 individual tracks collection and the zipped MP3 only version feature the same content and additional files, and are updated simultaneously indeed.

I mentioned this months ago when I did the first version of this collection. Those tracks (along with Silver Salmon, Polar Bear, The Miracle and Innuendo demos, etc.) could definitely belong to Volume 3, but the MJ tracks for instance were first shared 15+ years ago and were in the hands of traders circa 2001. Consequently, they've been heavily bootlegged and re-shared since then.

YMMV but most/all of the tracks in Volume 3 (collector and fan shares) only showed up within the last decade or so. Thus, they're a lot less common and I haven't seen them compiled the way they are here. Unless you've kept up with the scene all these years, there's a chance you might have missed some of them. If I included the last 20 years worth of rarities, it would become twice as big and it is not my intention to make it exhaustive, but rather to compile the least shared recordings.

I made this collection with every Queen fan in mind. New fans can find both rare tracks and hard to obtain versions and whatnot, while veteran collectors can at least have a convenient compilation of undocumented versions, shares, mixes, etc. I haven't seen any similar thematic compilation out there, so hopefully that's my contribution to the scene.

But there's so much more out there. For newer / casual fans who just became interested in listening to more Queen & solo songs and versions than those available in the regular albums, this collection is just the tip of the iceberg. There's at least 5 times more material out there if you really want to find it, with plenty of goodness to enjoy. CMI's expanded collection is a good starting point!

It's a good thing to have a philosophy behind all this garbage bin work, but don't present it like an act of deep meaning.
The fact that you decided to recycle only paper but not used tampons is absolutely irrelevant.

Speaking of meaningfulness and relevance: Is this particular arrangement of words the best you can create and share? I'm sorry but it doesn't seem very enjoyable.

Whoever scraped you off the side of the abortion bucket needs a good talking to.

I want to see more collections from Gilden Salmon....one per album please?

Besides me and the bucket there must be also a mother around, don't you think?
Try to avoid references, not even implied ones, to someone's mother, as it could affect your precious pristine image.
And try to refine your rudimentary scheme about negative comment=bad and positive comment=good, as it does not work all the time. At least not with me.

About this compilation I declare myself a satisfied customer, but I'm not willing to buy Golden Elk's theory on brontosauruses which unnecessarily explains in a defensive way why a certain track is absent as the result of a well devised master plan. Ban me for this.

An "image" that exists only in your own head that is clearly not being upheld, by your own admission.

A paradox, for the brighter ones among us.

Hmm.

I'm overwhelmed by your fandom camaraderie in the vein of Masonic fellowship, it must be a great honor for Golden Salmon to be defended by the Grand Master himself.

Too bad you weren't capable to do this on the today topic (Queen The eYe), probably because you realized it's impossible to say something to support him without making a fool of yourself.

Instead you chose to show your compassion by nonsensically replying to my 20 days old post from another thread. It's quite disappointing.

If you are a satisfied customer, then why refer to it as "garbage bin work" in your usual, derogatory and unnecessary sarcastic manner? If you liked it, but wanted other tracks to be included, you could just have said "nice compilation, but I think it's missing....".

Instead, you acted like a cunt - because you're a cunt.

You bring absolutely nothing to the table, other than shitty remarks.

What the TS has said in another thread is irrelevant to your argument here, and the length of time it takes someone to respond to your drivel is also irrelevant. Note you didn't reply to me when I asked you why you picked on a new user for asking if a particular concert was available.

You are treated with contempt because that's the way you treat others.

If I forgot to mention you're a cunt, I might as well take this opportunity to tell you that you're a cunt.

Also, you're a cunt.

Your queenzone credit is almost gone Thistle, save it for emergency situations.
You exhaust it while biting and licking various asses, like Gerry's or Wizard's.

For some unknown reason, you (like your vocally harmonic partner from The Real Wizard corps de ballet) desperately need to be associated (or dissociated) with some people, to borrow a piece of their aura.
Why don't you learn some basic things from them instead? Act like Wizard, not like Gerry, and maybe people will start to take you seriously.
