Keep Passing The Open Windows - demo version

I have recently come across the info about the demo version of this song featuring Freddie singing and playing piano. Does any of you know whether this has already leaked or not? Or maybe it does not exist at all.
Forgive me if this topic has been discussed but my search seems not to work properly.
Thanks in advance

hey Kpax! hows it going! does the banana taste good with the skin on? just kidding...

Yes it exists. No it has not leaked (generally). No you cannot download or get a copy.

Excuse me John, but I'm going out of my head... Is your signature taken from a lyric by Cradle of Filth... I've been banging my head on the keyboard for half an hour because I know where it comes from but I exactly don't remember...

Thanx

I thought I had something that points towards this. However, not what's talked about. But I've uploaded a clip for some to hear - www.ladeside.com/album/discovered.mp3

What strikes me about this is that the vocal is very proud of the mix and the elements are different. Ideas?

Peace,
Adam.

Sounds like the normal version but through only one speaker.

Sorry, I'll re-record in stereo this time. My fault...

Are u sure this is not an attempt at an acapella mix using both Cool Edit and Soundforge to strip the backing away - or have I just missed the point?

Different bit this time. And as promised, stereo, this time.

Yep, just sounds like a heavily manipulated version of the original. The 2nd one is hardly stereo either. Faked if anything.

I didn't realize you were the type for this sort of 'joke' Adam. My Mad The Swine remix was much more advanced than this ;)

PS- What happened with the AOBTD remix?

Ah well, hats off to Mr Mercury for seeing it for almost exactly what it was! Sorry, got bored tonight and felt like going into crass mode. Never again, I swear. Dib-dib!

Yeah DF, I'll have to look at that mix soon. Unfortunately, not much time to cause I'm working on a band's demo. Spent 3 days recording them and now I've got to have their 5 tracks all mixed and completed for this Saturday.
Btw, it's kinda weird cause when I compare your full mix to the bits you upped for me, the vocal is a tone down on the full mix. How'd that happen?

Peace,
Adam.

Cheers Adam!!

I thought I got it first :(

I can only imagine that in the process of trying to match things up, I may have slowed or sped one of them and perhaps reversed what I did after it was mixed? I have no clue.

All I know is the instrumental is faster than the original so I had to screw around to get them to sync for even a couple lines at a time.

But now you've got the same I had to work with and can try to do it better :)

PS - Suddenly developing a sense of humor can be dangerous when nobody expects it of you :-P

That reminds me of some of those lyrics from 'Cats' like:

"Midnight, all the kitties are sleeping, all alone in the alley, they ate tuna again"

I think it was based on T.S. Elliot and that Andrew Llyod Webber sure knew how to tear at the musical heartstrings.
