LOL, you know I'm laughing my ass off all this shit. Just let aristide1 comment all he wants, it's an attention whore.
Yes, I'm a terrible person for saying that, sadistic and utter shit. You too :)
By the way, spectacular collection Golden Salmon. As always :D

Since you don't like Wizard, you ignore Thistle, and you despise me, I guess it wasn't a LOL, more like a recognition reflex smile.

Aye, because I'm going to take advice on my "Queenzone Credit" from an arsehole who had none in the first place.

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.

Bullshit. I don't need to be associated (or disassociated) with anyone. If I get on with someone and agree with them for the most part, that's fine (and that's generally the case - you just seem to be selective in what you see and hear).
However, I don't suffer fools gladly - and you, sir, are a fool.

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.[/QUOTE]
More bullshit I couldn't be bothered reading because I don't take you seriously.
Maybe if you brought something constructive to the table instead of being a cunt.....

Please Thistle, let him say whatever he wants. That'll make him look even more stupid.

Don't worry, I'm already done with the moron. He says nothing of sense or interest.

... unlike your constructive and interesting 39 posts from "You and I should have been a single?", and many hundreds in the same unmistakable style.
"If I get on with someone and agree with them for the most part, that's fine (and that's generally the case)". Really?
The only thing that could make me look stupid is to find your age.
If you and your pals have less then 60 years (in total), as I suspect, then I'm already sorry for interfering in your game.
Thistle · Member since
Again,you're being selective and you've gone out of your way to count the exact number of posts I had in an argument with someone. That's not just sad, it's pathetic.
The argument you speak of is with one of literally a handful of people I've found difficult on this site over a decade. I'm not the only one to find the same user difficult, and I'm not the only one who's argued with him. Compared to the bulk of my activity here, it's not really worth debating - especially with someone who makes snide comments and arguments habitual.
I could go back and check the number of posts YOU'VE made that are a waste of time and characterise you with their unmistakable style, but then again I don't really have to - the number is conveniently already listed next to your name. 425 and counting, unfortunately.
You don't need to find my age to make yourself look stupid. Your post count is enough.

Please stop giving him the attention he wants. He loves arguing, so why please him?
aristide1 · Member since
I would but ... Oh, you're talking to Thistle, the man who doesn't love arguing.
While you advise people not to share official material.
The end of the world must be near, I see a lot of signs.

Your attempts at making me look like an argumentative troll are fairly weak, considering you're an argumentative troll. As far as I'm concerned, that's all that needs to be said.
Anything you post now will merely prove my point and show you up for the idiot you are, and will be treated with the time and consideration you deserve - zilch.

"Fairly weak"?
So you admit a degree of argumentative trollness, and you appeal to a fellow troll to support you nevertheless.
Well, why not? Champagne, champagne for everyone!

The show must go on: it's the [b]Year One update![/b] Full re-download recommended!
The share that keeps on evolving... until today. Never say never, but this is most certainly the last time I'm revisiting the 'Unusual Anthology' (I'm all out of ideas!). Over the last year I've had a number of tracks in mind for additions and improvements, and also some old and new things surfaced over this period that I thought would make neat content for it, so here we are.
This is what changed:
-----------------------------
- [b]21 new tracks[/b] and many upgrades (thank you, [b]waywardgenius[/b], for most of the latter) of previously available files. Additions and major changes breakdown per volume:
[b][u]PERFORMANCES[/u][/b]
- HANGMAN (UNRELEASED SONG WITH BACKSTORY, 1976-04-01 TOKYO)
The only Queen song (played live) to remain officially unreleased in any shape or form. This very nice rendition is perhaps the best quality recording out there. This new, recently surfaced source features a nice bit of backstory where Freddie mentions that this song is about “two very nasty men, two murderers”, adding to the lore surrounding this ever mysterious song. The previous 1975 recording I included in past “Unusual Collection / Anthology” versions is also available as an extra.
- DEATH ON TWO LEGS (UNCENSORED AND UNCUT,1979-02-20 BARCELONA)
Ever wondered about the censored bit in “Live Killers”? Wonder no more! True to Freddie’s natural manners, he mentions this is a song “about a dirty, nasty man – we call him motherfucker!”. But there’s way more to this one than meets the eye (ear?). Here’s a great analysis for additional information: [url=http://queenlive.ca/lkanalysis.htm#dotl]http://queenlive.ca/lkanalysis.htm#dotl[/url]
[b][u]VERSIONS[/u][/b]
- STONE COLD CRAZY (RAW MULTITRACK MIX WITH EXTRA BITS)
- WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (RAW MULTITRACK MIX WITH EXTRA BITS)
Two recently surfaced multitrack recordings allowed to extract these raw mixes which feature, once again, unheard snippets and different takes in unused tracks, on top of studio banter. Even these simple, mostly unaltered mixes will provide you with new, fresh versions of these classic Queen songs. Enjoy new Freddie ad-libs and Brian guitars!
[b][u]SHARES[/u][/b]
- ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST (RAW MULTITRACK MIX WITH EXTRA BITS)
- DRAGON ATTACK (RAW MULTITRACK MIX WITH EXTRA BITS)
I’m considering these ones “shares” rather than “versions” since the original multitracks aren’t publicly available and mixes cannot be freely extracted. Also, they may have been somewhat altered from the actual, raw mixes but this is unknown at this point. In any case, the multitracks prove that they’re treasure troves once again, featuring more unused parts such as extra percussion, unheard instrumental bits, additional ad-libs, etc.
- SPREAD YOUR WINGS (TEST PRESSING VERSION)
I missed this share back in 2017 when it surfaced on Youtube. It features some differences in mixing, particularly guitars on the second half, and most notably two extra Freddie ad-libs.
- UNDER PRESSURE (3 OUTTAKE EXCERPTS)
Three outtakes from the original multitrack featuring unused Freddie Mercury, Brian May and David Bowie lead vocals. The “Rah Mix” version got its intro sample from this source.
- Tracks 14 to 18
Listing order modified to better reflect the original chronology.
[b][u]MIXES[/u][/b]
- PLAY THE GAME (PIANO INTRO, NO SYNTHS, NO FADE OUT) (48 kHz)
I mixed in the extra piano at the beginning, which makes for a very feel-good addition that will remind you of the live renditions. Other than that, enjoy a different, rawer version without synthesizers and unusual ending.
- ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST (2003 BACKING TRACK MIX - BY GOLDEN SALMON)
My very own mix! I almost gave up on this one since it was a bit tedious to get the pace right, but it turned out pretty listenable. Only Queen and some new sounds are involved!
- DRAGON ATTACK (STRIPPED MIX - BY TCTHEGREAT)
This unique mix deserves a place in this compilation given that it’s the only different version we’re getting for the time being. Enjoy this simplistic version!
- STONE COLD CRAZY (RAW TRICKY 1ST TAKE MIX - BY BETA215)
A very cool effort at recreating an early SCC live take with thoughtfully edited studio banter.
- UNDER PRESSURE (RESTORED OUTTAKE MIX - BY A WORD IN YOUR EAR)
Sometimes fan mixes make a lot of sense. This lovely version is one of them, very nicely done at that too. Take a listen and be surprised!
[b][u]BONUSES[/u][/b]
- FREDDIE MERCURY - LOVE KILLS (METROPOLIS MIX, HIGH QUALITY)
Featuring early backing track and vocals, this is the best quality recording of this rare version you can possibly find. Thanks to [b]The Kurgan[/b] and [b]Chinwonder2[/b] for the sources and mixing!
[b][u]GUESTS[/u][/b]
- 2003-11-29 CAPE TOWN 46664 (48kHz)
01 BRIAN MAY + ANDREA CORR - IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED...?
02 QUEEN + BONO, ANASTACIA, BEYONCÉ & DAVID A. STEWART – AMANDLA
03 QUEEN + SOWETO GOSPEL CHOIR, ZUCCHERO & THANDISWA MAZWAI - BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, I WANT IT ALL & I WANT TO BREAK FREE (MEDLEY)
04 QUEEN - RADIO GA GA
05 QUEEN + ANASTACIA - WE WILL ROCK YOU & WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
The final addition to this Anthology in the foreseeable future. The full Queen+ song set (complemented by the tracks in Volume 1) straight from the hard-to-find DVD source, including the only ever “Amandla” live performance. Check out the blunder in IWTBF!
[b][u]OTHER[/u][/b]
- Many file names, folder names and ID3tags updated and corrected.
- Some additional files and folders arranged in a more intuitive fashion.
- Many small additions and QOL changes in the PDF document to reflect the updated content and improve readability, as well as a few corrections.
- MP3 version updated accordingly.
It is also of note that a few more shares have surfaced over the last few months (such as Stone Cold Crazy - rough mix, Sleeping On The Sidewalk - first take with studio banter, both and more shared by [b]CMI[/b] in his latest Expanded Collections), and there's at least one more "Brian +" track (Bohemian Rhapsody with Rick Wakeman), all of which is too recent for me to want to add here, so I urge you to go to the source to get them if you're so inclined.
I meant to do this earlier but life has been crazy in the last few months, you just wouldn't believe how much: new job with lots of new faces, divorce (mostly happy), new home, new love interests, trips, lost 20 kg and then gained 7 so far... but again, the show must go on!
Here's hoping you enjoy this update. [b][u]Downloading the whole Unusual Anthology again to avoid mixing up revisions is recommended[/u][/b].
