Ultimate Collection: 1986

Thanks John!

Notes: FWBF video from GVH2 is longer than from GF2.

Queen's promotional video (not film) for HFE was released on GF3 VHS.

Tutti Frutti from DVD is unedited version.

And I don't know if it needs to be count, but how about Brian's "Butterfly" theme?

OMG LOADSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS OF WRITINF BUT THANK ;)

One Vis

About You're The Only One, is it a Queen song or a Freddie solo song?

BTW, nice list John, thanks.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]<b><font color = "crimson">ThomasQuinn wrote: [/QUOTENAME]So, what do we know of the snippet of "New York, New York"? I find it a little hard to believe that they would record just the fragment.[/QUOTE]

"New York, New York" was recorded more as an ad-lib than a complete track, so sorry Thomas, but indeed, that's all there is.

Could anybody answer my question please.

Yes

"About You're The Only One, is it a Queen song or a Freddie solo song?"

How can we possibly know? As far as I heard it's just Freddie with the piano singing along, no real lyrics and no other instrument. I suppose it's just a short demo, not a Freddie or Queen "song". It's not on the Freddie box and not on Ron B's list and also not on John Stuart's list unless I overlooked it.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]<font color=green>Rick wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Could anybody answer my question please.[/QUOTE]

I missed the original question Rick. If you scroll through page one, you will see that it is very easy to overlook.

As far as I know, 'New York' (very early demo),
'Piano Improvisation' (Freddie solo), 'You're The Only One', (Freddie solo), 'Demo 2' (possibly another Freddie solo), 'Keep Passing The Open Windows', and 'One Year Of Love' (Town House studios 25.1.1986) originate from a Townhouse demo cassette tape, and the original source of this information was Peter Freestone.

I know that some of the titles, (for example 'You're The Only One') may not be the 'actual title' as catalogued by Greg (if this still exists in the vaults), but, a working title given for identification by the cassette's owner.

As YV has explained above, because these tracks are no more than Freddie's doodlings, it is impossible to say whether they are ideas for either Queen or solo projects, but as a starting point, I am willing to make an educated guess.

As to the actual date of the recording, the only fixed points are 'Keep Passing The Open Windows' (Recorded: August 1983 to January 1984) and 'One Year Of Love' (Recorded: Town House studios 25.1.1986)

Unfortunately, this c18 month period also covers Freddie's 'Mr. Bad Guy' solo album, which was released here in the UK: 29th April 1985. Certainly, this would be the most likely time for the solo 'New York' (very early demo), to have been recorded.

So the truth is I do NOT know when the remainder of the unidentifiable material - 'Piano Improvisation', 'You're The Only One', and 'Demo 2' - specifically dates from, and the August 1983 - January 1986 generalisation is the best I can offer. Again, because of the nature of the tracks, it is dificult to say whether they are Freddie solo or Freddie Queen ideas - but given that 'New York' appears in the Freddie solo box, I think it would be a strong bet that these tracks are also Freddie solo material.

I personally, do NOT own these recordings, but, I do know the source to whom I am indebited to for very kindly provided me with this information.

Now from the A KIND OF MAGIC Sessions, there is a one-sided Abbey Road cassette, labeled 'QUEEN (4)' with 'unmastered' versions of:
01. A Kind Of Magic
02. Friends Will Be Friends
03. Who Wants To Live Forever
04. One Year Of Love

That is some excellent work on the Highlander Session there Wilki - Thank you.

Do you therefore think (for cataloguing reasons) that 'A Kind Of Magic' CD version and 'Highlander' OST should be kept apart as two seperate animals, or, should we still keep them together (as they are so intertwined)?
