Rotwang Bohemian: 295 posts	Posted: 11 Dec 06, 13:00 Three songs written during these sessions were: 1) Fly By Night (Deacon) 2) Deep Ridge (May) 3) Surrender To The City (Mercury) Has anyone heard these or can give any information about them such as if they were reworked into other Queen songs that were released, etc.? I would appreciate any info. "You Can Be Anything You Want To Be"
brENsKi Deity: 5070 posts	Posted: 11 Dec 06, 13:09 there have been countless rumours about the second and third tracks they are usually discounted as nothing more than myth...they are actually broken-down parts of side black - Seizure Moment: the shit in all of our ears ([c] Brenski) - i'm drowning here, and you're describing the water -(JN - AGAIG 1997) - a turd in a ribbon, still stinks of shit - ([c] Brenski)
August R. Bohemian: 551 posts	Posted: 12 Dec 06, 02:50 Has the existence of these tracks actually EVER been confirmed by any RELIABLE collector/fan/archivist? -What's the matter? -Never mind. -What's the mind? -No matter.
Drowse1 Bohemian: 153 posts	Posted: 12 Dec 06, 05:39 I heard that Surrender To The City was the working title to The Fairyfellers Masterstroke. Maybe the others were working titles to other songs on the album. I reign with my left hand, I rule with my right.
bigV Royalty: 1645 posts	Posted: 12 Dec 06, 06:28 It just occured to me that "Deep Ridge" may have been a working title for "Brighton Rock". "Brighton Rock" has roots going as far back as Smile's first and only album. And as we all know "Brighton Rock" had many working titles as it was being developed (one of them being "Happy Little Fuck"). It's not that much of a stretch to imagine that "Deep Ridge" sounds like it may have been the embryonic "Brighton Rock". Can I get a witness? V. I'm as mad as HELL, and I'm not going to take this anymore!

Thats kinda silly to assume a song with the same name as a painting that the song is about will have another working title. Combined with the fact that the line surrender to the city is are actual lyyrics to the last part of the second said song.
Penetration_Guru Deity: 10818 posts	Posted: 12 Dec 06, 17:37 The working title of Brighton Rock was "Happy Little Fuck" at one point, I concur
Bohardy Deity: 2243 posts	Posted: 12 Dec 06, 19:59 At the risk of re-repeating myself (and I'd loved to be proved wrong about this): "'Deep Ridge', and 'Surrender To The City' as unreleased tracks from Queen II, have their origins in a post made here, many moons ago, by some Wind Up Merchant". (basically from this thread: http://tinyurl.com/yba2xx ) More info about this Wind Up Merchant, and the Queen II sessions can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/y9lbjr --------------------------------- In summary, as far as I'm concerned the songs the topic-starter mentions were made up by a WUM on this messageboard in this post - http://tinyurl.com/yjokg8 - and the myth spread across the internet over the next few years. This WUM proved himself to be full of bollocks, by gradually over a few weeks outing himself on QZ as nothing but a speaker of bullshit. An example of his bullshit can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/zwhcz Gullibility and credulity are considered undesirable qualities in every department of human life -- except religion.
FriedChicken Deity: 10602 posts	Posted: 13 Dec 06, 08:49 I agree with Bohardy. These songs are made up. "On the first day Pim & Niek created a heavenly occupation. Pim & Niek blessed it and named it 'Loosch'." (Genesis 1:1)

In the case of Brighton Rock: They also used Bognor Ballad and Blackpool Rock (I hope I didn't misunderstood your post!) "On the first day Pim & Niek created a heavenly occupation. Pim & Niek blessed it and named it 'Loosch'." (Genesis 1:1)

AmeriQueen Royalty: 1072 posts	Posted: 15 Dec 06, 07:04 Wow, Queen II sessions would be something. That's my favorite album of all time! The main Queen treasure that I would most like to have is the Queen II versions of "The Prophet Song" that were shelved 'til the later, eventual release of the ANATO version.
FriedChicken Deity: 10602 posts	Posted: 15 Dec 06, 18:14 There is no proof of a Queen II version of Prophets Song, and I think it's very unlikely that it originates from those days. "On the first day Pim & Niek created a heavenly occupation. Pim & Niek blessed it and named it 'Loosch'." (Genesis 1:1)
