I'm not sure, but I think those songs are officially! It's better remove this file thank make it in wrong! :)

Some of that songs are still available today...they are bonus tracks on the CD albums

Right! But you've said SOME! :) Not every one!

So, this file mustn't exist anymore!

Hey while we're on the subject of rarer songs.

Why is so little known about Lost Opportunity? I mean, the other songs have a fair bit of literature dedicated to how they were written, recorded, whatever.
But practically nothing was ever said about this song.

With the morning I face the sun
I lift my head and smile for everyone
Every afternoon you'll find me working on
I got my new shoes on
Got to be moving on
That's what they say
Every night I'm tossed
And I shake my fevered brow
Thinking of my lost opportunity

Yes every morning I face the sun
I get so positive with everyone
Every afternoon you'll find the cracks showing through
They know what I'm going through
Oh yes they do
Every evening finds me
The optimist behind me
On with my lost opportunity


Let's just the text speaks... :)

I know it's easy to say things like this in hindsight, but do you think Brian wrote it with Freddie in mind? Or do you think it was linked to his own problems? I know it's easy to say they were all influenced by Freddie's situation during these times, but songs like this really seem like they could be written specifically about Fred and his situation.

Also, it's clear to see why it was left off of Innuendo. Then again, as I say, it's always easy to say that in hindsight.

Now where exactly are the rare tracks?

Lost Opportunity was recorded in 1980, so it can't be about Freddie and Aids

ROGER37, FUCK YOU!!!

Apologies, I completely forgot it was an early track.

But lyrically, has it changed from the original version?

To me, reading through the lyrics, its got a very lathargic (sp?) feel to it, almost as if it were Freddie taking an almost anecdotal look on his problems. Also got a very "Sleeping On The Sidewalk-esque" feel to it, albeit slighty slower.
