I pray somehow ‘In Search Of Love’ was recorded and exists somewhere and that someday we’ll hear it. The lyrics sit in a museum!

You think they would've trawled all this stuff for MIH rather than butchering previously released songs.

Very cool, no_stairway – it certainly sounds like Freddie, even if the recording sounds like it was recorded on a potato! Thanks for posting this.

Nobody knows about this song because it doesn't exist.[/QUOTE]
Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Well, that didn't take long.
Are the players involved going to explain how this suddenly popped up?

That is indeed the "Let's Make Love" demo. The full version is over 4 minutes long. But there is more than what the band make us believe.

I think there's a fair reason not to believe a guy with 30 posts suddenly coming up with never-heard-before titles. Most of the demos, even those owned by respected collectors are well-documented on various websites.

In recent years, rare studio material tends to leak from people with brand new accounts on this site. Collectors who let the stuff out don't want their names attached to it, so this is how they get the job done.

Some. Not even close to most. A very, very small percentage. "Respected collectors" do not know everything. There is always more than what even the most knowledgeable people know. Unbelievably more.
And they're not all "demos". Studio takes aren't rough demos - they are takes. The majority of unheard studio recordings are proper takes, where the band are attempting a backing track that might become the final version. A song briefly goes through the demo stage before take after take brings it closer to completion.
Queen had the tape rolling at all times in the studio from the mid-70s onward, not to mention home recordings of basic song sketches. There is undoubtedly thousands of hours of material that nobody outside of the band's closest circle will ever know about. If an album took 2-3 months to record and the band was in there for 8-12 hours a day, do the math on how much music that must be. Even the most ardent collectors have accumulated maybe a dozen tracks that the rest of us haven't heard. That little bit is a drop of water in an ocean.

So, according to the metadata, that MP3 file is track number 7 from a 12 track compilation...
... I don't suppose someone feels like sharing more details on whatever is going on, right?

I agree with Bob's reaction.
