Right.
More then just takes 3 and 5 of both MOTBQ and FHLI have had an airing. And that's only what has actually been played at conventions!
(Though, yes, some of the other takes are THAT short that you can hardly call them a 'song'.[/QUOTE]
What do you mean with that Jeroen?
I meant that it's a bit unnessecary to make a whole list of alternate versions. Since it's highly unlikely that there isn't more than 1 take for each song (even when John didn't mention it, or when Greg didn't play it).
Oh yeah, the original multitrack of Bohemian Rhapsody has three lead vocal takes on it.

I think we meant to say the same ;-)
Though it might be possible that not all takes have survived. We could at least list the ones we KNOW that DID survive.
I mentioned this because JSS specifically mentioned takes 3 and 5 and we both know that more takes have been played. (Take 4 for example)
We know that these are 'available' in some sort of way and not SOLELY remain in the archives.
We don't know what happened to takes 1 and 2 for example - so no need to list them. But we could at least try to be as complete as possible with what we know did find it's way out in whatever form.
Am I making sence? ;-)

These two are indeed the same take. The only diference is the talking in the begining, isn´t it?
Take care

I had a quick look at the BMI link posted by Bohardy and have the following to report.
- Published under "Mercury Freddie" are two songs (out of a total of 133) titled "Champions" and "We Are The Champions". Assuming that it would be meaningless to register the same song twice, one could say that "Champions" could be an early version of "We Are The Champions".

I am sure they are, but I am paranoid about double-checking!

I forgot to add the latest updated information from the UK IQFC Queen convention, Prestatyn, May 2006:
Tie your mother down - brian's guide vocals
Somebody to love - piano rehearsal
Don't stop me now – inst
Let me entertain you - diff ending
If anyone was there, can they explain the difference to me between the 'Don't stop me now – inst version' played at the convention, and the already released karaoke version?
Also, apart from:
One Vision - short out-takes
Backchat - short out-takes
I go crazy - instrumental demo 1982
Pain is so close to pleasure - demo
and the revelation that the Anita Dobson track "Let Me In (Your Heart Again)" had been recorded in 1982 by Queen for The Works album, what other information came out from that weekend?

John, do you ever get tired of mirroring your posts on the two boards? :)

Short answer = yes, but not if it is a request like this, as a bigger 'net' hopefully means more results!
John, MOST of those unconfirmed song titles come either from the 'Left Testicle Of Freddie' infamous QUEEN II thread in this forum or another equally infamous thread on the ArgenQUEEN.com forum. Believe me, they do not worth spending one second.

Yes , i understand.
But if you listen to the end of the short version, you´ll notice that it captures the first note of the arpegiated chord that Brian does on the long version after the song is finished.
I know this ís not very important to some people, but is just for people to know exactly what they have. (at least, until the boxes are out, we can only guess, so we really need to develop our hearing skills, and our reading skills too - like you´re doing right now with this topic - because we know that our questions are not answered by Q.P.).
In the end this tipe of research will keep us busy, and is somehow gratifying, because we tend to interact with other fans and find out something new.
I think that after the boxes are out, much of the fun will be lost too!
Talking about hearing skills, you still don´t buy that the Silver Salmon is from 1977, do you? : ))- Well that was one of the most gratifying discussions i´ve ever seen on Queenzone, and very interesting too!
