As you will see the second lyrics sheet looks like the A winter's tale lyrics.[/QUOTE]

Oh, wow! Thanks! :D
"Elton John and I became really good friends. I don't mean 'good friends' in that sense. I just mean we slept together." -Billy Joel
Walter B: Please could you scribe the 'poem' bit so I can read what it says?

I find it rather difficult on my PC.
"Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make."
How did you find out about these lyrics, John? And how do you know they weren't recorded? I'm not doubting you, I'm just genuinely curious :)

(I tried transcribing them, but the glare makes it difficult)

Lester: As the 'source' was close to Freddie - I believe the source.

What I do know for sure is that they exist (nice to see proof in the shape of independant collaboration), and that they were 'sold' as unrecorded lyrics.

Placing my trust in their hands, I would very strongly argue that this story is genuine - and as such the lyrics were not recorded.

What I am amazed at is Freddie's writing style. Notice it begins as a mind-map, and develops from there, and I too agree that the shape of the ideas resemble 'A Winter's Tale'.

I am really not hiding anything from you, so that is about the extent of my expertise, other than, that more (I've listed those below) unrecorded lyrics survive, but I do not know if this is the sum total of those 'unrecorded' ideas, or whether more such lyrics actually exist.

If I do gain any more insight, then as usual, I will share what I know for the good of the community.

Thanks, John - I know you're not hiding anything, nor would I accuse you of such; I was just curious.
JSS, i have heard since around 91 that there was a recorded track from late 89 that was titled "It's so hard to beleive" written by Freddie, it was recorded but with no backing tracks for the Chorus, and no solo. Have you ever heard of this? My source is very reliable, as he worked with Queen around that time. But again, i haven't heard too much else about it since it was brought up at a Detroit Convention many years back. Could it have been mistaken by "Had to beleive me"? I may be able to get the lyrics, the actual track, hmmmm it would take alot of talking and sucking up to this guy to get. lol I look forward to your response. :)

Serry: Yes, you are correct. I just cut and pasted without double-checking.
Sorry.

YSM: The truth is I do not know, but your theory sounds plausable.

Lester: I know that you were not doubting, I just wanted to give you as correct and comprehensive a reply as possible - but it seemed too short. I t was just may way of saying 'That's as much as I know!'.

It looks like the asterisked (*) tracks are some of the ones you've said were "Tracks known to exist - but were not included in the 'Freddie Mercury: Solo Collection' Box set."

Thanks JSS, i am in the process of getting this track, even though it's not a completed track i still think it would be cool to share this to the community here, hopefully Bri & the boys won't be upset? lol I think the fans should get these unreleased recordings, even if it's not in it's entirety.
So here's the tally for those keeping score:

Total number of audio tracks being "released" for FM's 60th (I'm including the sampler downloads here):

49

Number of those which were already released elsewhere, just NOT available in the SOLO boxset:

6 (All of these were released on CD previously)

Number of "new" remixes:

8 (5 of them "Love Kills", the rest of them have already been remixed before)

Number of unreleased songs, out-of-print or obscure vinyl mixes, new remixes of songs that have never been remixed before:

0

It seems that the Mr. Bad Guy remix contains some unreleased material:
http://loveroflifesingerofsongs.com/sampler/alternativelyrics.pdf

It's possible (though highly unlikely) that some of the other remixes contain unreleased material.

JSS (and Queen Productions themselves at conventions occasionally) has demonstrated there is more than enough unreleased material to act as a bonus CD (heck, even DVD) for this release to truly make it "something special." So why haven't they?

I am sure your know the answer right? In my opinion, they have all this material that is being used for a longer future financial plan. That means they will release a few rare items here and there, but doing it this way upsets fans, but also drives their suspensefull attitude to go out and buy every product that they release, that way they have a 10 or 20 year plan. IMO.

I get you, and as evil as that plan is, I cynically understand it.
However, if that IS their plan, they're not really doing it properly -- stringing someone along usually means generating an expectation, however small, of a quality product :)

Anyway -- this is going to sound like I'm contradicting myself, but: If they're going to include material that was on the FM 2000 Box, why, dear God why, did they NOT include the take of Golden Boy where Freddie blows the roof off of the treble clef?!

Hang on a minute - this track WAS in the box set! It was part of the 'Great Pretender' disc.
