Polar Bear - Take 2

I have listened to Silver Salmon right after reading this post and for me Freddie's voice sounds more from 1977 than from 1970.

Just compare the Polar Bear track with Silver Salmon one.

Thanks John for sharing the demo and thank to the posters for their interesting opinions and contributions.

Old thread I know, but a recent PM prompted me look this up.
It appears that Polar Bear (take 2) first appeared on a japanese bootleg in May 2004.
That was some time before this thread started.

The recordings actually surfaced in 2000.

So where did it first surface?

No answers?
Since the Polar Bear take 2 link in the opening post has been deleted, here's a recent youtube link.

Why is this demo dated 1972? It has always been a common knowledge, that it originates from 1970 sessions and features Barry Mitchell on bass...

^ I think that was all disproved a while back.
