People have included full details and photos on her album on Queen sites, and Brian wrote (completely himself) three of the songs from her Talking Of Love album including I Dream Of Christmas and Let Me In Your Heart Again.
PS - Anita's only co-writing credit with Brian is on 'Funny Old Life Ain't It'
Thanks for clearing that up!
QueenVault is usually pretty accurate : http://www.queenvault.com/talkingoflovealbum.html
It also makes sense that the original LMIYHA Queen version was probably recorded 4-5 years before, meaning that Brian was at helm. Anita's version always happened after the fact.
Same goes for I Dream Of Christmas and probably the rest of the other tracks with Brian's input.

Talking of Love is terribly mediocre for someone of Brian's calibre.

Indeed. Both were during 'The Works' era... Thank God It's Christmas was the chosen one!
Imagine a Freddie version of 'I Dream Of Christmas' though?
Did Brian record a version with Julia Glover?
Songs like LMIYHA make me wonder if Brian's first marriage was in trouble well before Anita came along (apparently in 1986).

Who knows, if it exists we might get to hear a snippet or a demo in the (far) future. At the very least, Brian's demo must exist.
I often wonder if Talking of Love was ever considered for a Queen track. It's certainly not an amazing song, but it would've been a nice album track on A Kind of Magic.

I've wondered that too
My only wonder about "Talking of Love" is if it's horrible or fucking horrible, I can't decide. What's quite curious, the brief guitar riff makes me puke. It seems I've developed a Brian May intolerance over the years.
Songs like this made harder an harder to listen them with an open heart, in any formula invented by Brian. He gradually became a kind of Sam Elliott graveyard keeper, with a guitar instead of a shovel.

Thanks, I had completely forgotten about Funny Old Life Ain't It. Now it's horrendous chorus is stuck in my head.
