Hang on... what legal issues? If Brian did two different versions, 1 being the ford and 2 being the bri album version, how would there be legal issues? It's not like ford own anything to do with that song from 1991/2. If there is some legal entanglement looming over the prospect of a different version, what exactly is this legal issue. I think it's a helluva presumption to make about that song.

Anyway this has always meant to be a song by Brian for the Ford ad - he was the one to be signed for that job so it was always clear that a release would be a 'solo'-job. There was just no reason for Freddie to record this other then recording as much as possible to leave behind for the band to work with - but they utilised Freddie's strengths to the limit already with other songs...
But indeed, I'd love to hear different.
WO IST DAS AAAARCHIVIST?! ;-)[/QUOTE]
Das Archivist ist ein pippie machen, so don't expect an answer :)
But Greg allready stated that he didn`t ever heard an Freddie version. But if we can take that as a fact ??[/QUOTE]
If Greg says he's never heard it - thats good enough for me, but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist somewhere I guess, he just might never have heard it. Its probably in Brians loft....

I seriously doubt that Brian has stacked tons of demos at his house.
If there would've been a Freddie version it would most likely be a proper studio recording. And since it was not recorded at Brians house (like home demo's etc) it's not likely that he has the original analog/digital or harddisk at his house.

Considering how sick Freddie was in that periode might also mean that he didnt have energy to do it... He struggled during the Innuendo og Made in Heaven sessions.... so... I mean, do you think he did it....??
I hope so, but...

Thomas,
There were no Made In Heaven "sessions" that featured Freddie - the material was either left over from Innuendo or was recorded for possible future use as the rest of the band saw fit.
FriedChicken,
Brian is an avid collector to the point of obsessionist. Greg's book (as and when it comes out) will display just that. He made a conscious decision to ensure that material he was "able" to have control over, was logged and stored correctly. It's highly likely that HIS collection is a vastly better archive than anything QPL would have access too.

Ehm... no. Watching something like Champions of the World shows that he was recording AFTER Innuendo. And let us not forget that his last recorded vocal is said to be from 3 weeks before his death. So, THESE recordings ARE part of the MIH sessions. That's the album they're heard on.

I have no idea what you're refering to. Please explain.

Silly people - Mr. Kitchen Appliance was making a reference to the DoRo version of NOBY with Freddie at the end.
The true MIH sessions were the ones held between 1993 and 1995, but the sessions in 1991 were merely just post-Innuendo sessions. There was no conclusive idea with what the band would do with the songs from those sessions; they originally wanted to use them as B-sides, but then decided to try for an album.

But Freddie definetely wanted these tracks released, which is why he worked until the very end. Reference point: "Champions of the World" documentary, David Richards interview.

So picky about what can be called an MIH session and what can't! lol That's just so weird. Does it really matter whether they're called post-innuendo or MIH sessions?? No. What matters is the work that Freddie did post-innuendo, ended up on MIH. Pick-eey!

Well Adam, you questioned it too, so you're just as "pick-eey" as me and Benn. As for it really mattering -- you're right, it doesn't. For all we know, the sessions could've been called "The Epic Yule Log sessions" but it still wouldn't take away from what MIH eventually became.
