"Crazy Little Thing Called Love?"
I think Bobby_brown might have been referring to 'covers' when saying that last thing, but I dunno.
It's all no-never-mind to me... I'm pretty pleased with the stuff in the Solo Collection, but like anything unfinished it certainly leaves you wanting more.

John, what about the song 'Creatures Of The Night'? I don't know if I've seen that mentioned by you anywhere, but I could be wrong.
You missed one john!!!
"Lady With A Tenor Sax" - original demo version.
The version of this track that featured on the boxset has had the last section replaced with the final section of the Billy Squier LP release.
The 'proper' version of this demo is instrumental only at this point for the last minute of so.

"are we under the impression that the Vier Gegen Willi appearance differs from the standard audio?"
If it's a mimed TV appearance, there's no reason to think so. However, sometimes what you get is an artist re-records their vocal so that it sounds more live. Doesn't happen so often and it'd probably be too much effort.
But that's basically the only scenario I could think of that would conjure up some kind of different track.
Shit, if it's the studio version with a bunch of Germans going 'liebe Freddie' then I wouldn't lose sleep over it not being on the Solo Collection. :D

They are the same track. 'Creatures Of The Night', I believe, was a working title.

The reason I included this version of 'The Great Pretender' was not for the audio, but for the video performance.
The same is true with Freddie Mercury/Montserrat Caballe: Live Ku Club Ibiza, Olympia '92, 30 December 1987 Broadcast Live TVE/ 3 SAT Television, and Freddie Mercury/Caballe: Live La Nit Festival, Fountains, Barcelona, 8 October 1988.
Love it, or hate it, it is different from any other video performance, and as such worthy of a proper DVD release.

Freddie wasn`t the type of artist to release a single out of nowhere [/QUOTE]
Crazy Little Thing Called Love?[/QUOTE]
What i meant to say was that i don`t see Freddie having as a project just a single.
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was released as a single but he knew it was for the Queen forthcoming album "The Game". In this case doesn`t make much sense to me only release a single just because he liked the song or wathever. I think the sing was recorded having in mind some kind of project. (It´s just an opinion!)
Take care

John, was the Ku Klub Ibiza in December or in May?- In the Internet everybody says it was in May.

I have no idea where else you can read about this on the internet, as I take my information from more reliable sources.
Try 'Google', and if you find anything, perhaps you could let me know.

Same track as... what? I assume 'Music Of The Night'... I'll need to brush up on my knowledge of Andrew Lloyd Webber, methinks.

Yes: 'Creatures Of The Night' and 'Music Of The Night' - sorry if I did not make that clear.

Because the lyrics were officially sold to a private collector - while Freddie was still alive, and it was understood that they were not recorded.

I dont recall any performance at at the Avinguda De Maria Christina Stadium, October 1988.
Surely someone has their wires crossed there?

EDIT: Well, I don't speak Spanish, but:
"En la Avinguda de María Cristina de Barcelona se celebra un concierto de gala, "La Nit", con motivo de la preparación de los juegos ol¿ímpicos de 1992. Entre los teloneros se encuentran Eddy Grant, Jerry Lee Lewis, Spandau Ballet y el bailarín clásico Rudolf Nureyev. Tras este impresionante elenco, un Freddie vestido de esmoquin y una Caballé en traje de gala intempretan "Barcelona" en medio de un castillo de fuegos artificiales, pero no conceden entrevistas ese día. La ausencia de microfonos indica que están cantando con playback; como el mismo Freddie señala más tarde, diciendo que necesitaban ensayar mucho y que no tenían tiempo."
Seems like La Nit show was on that Avinguda de María Cristina...
