Queen - B Sides & Rare Tracks

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.

i think the lyrics are probably more to do with Brian's marriage crumbling away? It was about 1980 that the cracks were first noticeable to the outsiders yeah?

I like Lost Opportonity

So was it planned as a Queen track or a solo track when he wrote it?

Interesting, I didn't know it was that early. Where did you hear that? Roger is definitely playing his Innuendo drum kit, so at most, Brian's guitar and vocal were done in 80, provided that what you said is true.

i love when the bootleggers play law abiding citizens.Keep the funny stuff coming

Brian said it 2 years ago or so, in his soapbox

Written or recorded in 1980? We have the same discussion about the roots of You Don't Fool Me...

If it was recorded in 1980 I think they'd put Brian's name as a writer of the song (as well as they did with 'Mad The Swine' - it's Freddie's track, not Queen's, though it was released as a part of Innuendo B-side tracks, but since it was recorded much earlier than the album - they didn't use their rule about putting Queen credits on all tracks), but LO is Queen's one, so I'm not sure if it was recorded in 1980...

Theory, only theory, don't shoot me!

It is not a matter of "needing" the tracks, it is a matter of liking to have the tracks. Is the link no longer available?

I don't think it is, it's from a good number of years ago buddy. I meant that most fans have all this stuff already, I thought you might have been having a laugh and resurrecting a really old thread full of officially available material.

No worries. I very well may have them. My music files are a bit scattered so I may need to dig a little deeper! However thanks for your time and response.

on youtube there are all the songs ;)
