Before upload I'd like someone who contact me (real queen audio expert)(John S Stuart??? are you there?) to compare this version with the one from the Queen us promo cd single. I'm not sure I can.

For Information:
Ferdy kindly sent me an MP3 version of his acetate. Reproduced with permission, here is a copy of my return e-mail to him.
Dear Ferdinando,
thank you for letting me listen to your keep yourself alive acetate. after listening and comparing with other versions - i have good news and bad news!
first - the bad news.
the version you sent me is officially available on the hollywood record lable as - keep yourself alive (long lost re-take). there are three finger-prints to look out for. 1: the "play the game" type intro. 2: before the drum solo freddie sings "all you pretty people", and 3: at the end there is a monty-pythonesque line of "look on the bright side". this means that you can not really share this version.
second: the good news is that if the short version b-side, is an edit of the long version a-side, then you can share this, as this would be unreleased.

My thoughts as well. Fjac, the way I read Ferdy's post was that he was asking about stuff he intended for upload before he did so. That to me is not a request for any files or whatever.
ok.
but try to upload the song, cause i want to hear it too

...and also about a hundred other ones elsewhere in this forum...
I've sent the short version to John to check if it's really unreleased.If so I will post the link here.
In the meantime is there someone among you you can help me to trace the story of this acetate. Why does it come with this label? I alway saw trident acetate from Queen. Any help appreciated!!

long version is 4.05
short 3.29
but consider that I played only once to record them so it may vary of some seconds.
