Time Waits For No One will be released by Virgin/EMI on June 21

A previously unheard Freddie Mercury track will be released after a decade-long search for the lost vocal performance.
Time Waits For No One was originally recorded for the soundtrack of the 1986 West End musical Time, created by musician Dave Clark.
The version released this month is a different vocal take recorded by the Queen frontman.
The 1986 backing track has been replaced by a solo piano accompaniment.
Clark, founder of 60s hitmakers the Dave Clark Five, said he spent years looking for the Mercury vocal, which was submerged on the original release.
“The version rehearsed at Abbey Road was just Freddie with a piano. It was magic and it gave me goosebumps,” Clark said.
“The produced version ended up with 48 vocal tracks. It took me years to track down the original master tape of just Freddie singing.”

Isn't it just called "time"?

Who wants to bet it is just the regular vocal take with a newly created backing-track? Bring on the "Freddie Mercury with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra" album with existing Freddie vocal tracks being dubbed over classical accompaniment.

"Time Waits For No One will be released by Virgin/EMI on June 21, accompanied by a film of Mercury performing and talking about the song, captured at the Dominion Theatre."

Umm, captured at the Dominion Theatre?

Is this a trusted website ?

Interesting...let's hear it

"Freddie talking about the song"? We have that interview in full.

".....spent years looking for the Mercury vocal, which was submerged on the original release". How can this alternative vocal have been 'submerged' beneath the original version vocal? Surely there wasn't a second Freddie lead vocal present on the original release but so far in the background it couldn't be heard?? (my guess is this is just piss poor writing by the journalist).

And surely any other vocal take would have been on the same master-tape as the original released version, which has clearly been to hand as it's been re-released in alternative mix versions over the years so why did it suddenly vanish?

No we don’t have.

and how big a cynical marketing ploy is it to release 'Time' but under a new title ('Time Waits For No One') simply to sell more?

We do actually, Chief Mouse uploaded it to his channel. But it was later manually striked down, this is possibly why. It came from a Dave Clark Time documentary on Blu-Ray.

Just seen something saying ".... accompanied by a film of Mercury performing and talking about the song, captured at the Dominion Theatre". Might the performing bit be new footage of the actual live show with the single audio dubbed on, or will it just be the standard original 'Time' promo video release?

I remember reading somewhere (don't know where) that the song was originally going to be called 'Time (Waits For No One)' but The Rolling Stones threatened legal action (as they do quite a lot) as they had a song with the same name of their 'It's Only Rock n' Roll' album.

Pretty sure you can't copyright a song title.

no but just a threat of legal action will sometimes do, they threatened to sue Noel Gallagher if he put one of his songs on an album because it included a toy piano on it that was once owned by Mick Jagger (the story is Noel pinched it?)
