It is a good idea and this is one of the main reasons why we are are here isn't it? so let's start at the beginning, with the Queen eponymous debut album. But, this is NOT a lecture... it is a dialogue. Feel free to contribute, feel free to disagree... if the following list is "over-sensitive" - what would you like me to do - censor it? All I ask is that we keep it civil and interesting, and I look forward to reading YOUR replies. Who knows - if successful, we may even move onto "Queen II"! 1971 Queen: Unreleased Live, Ewell Technical College 9th January 1971 Line-up: Farrokh Bulsara (vocals), Brian May (guitar), Roger Meddows Taylor (drums), Barry Mitchell (bass).

Lester Burnham Deity: 5870 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 11:46 Excellent! As far as I know, the five demos at De Lane Lea Studios were recorded on September 18, 1971 - I got this information from the fan club years ago when they used to not only update daily with worthwhile news, but also did the "on this day xx years ago". So, who knows if it actually took them one day to record five songs or not, but the September - October timespan sounds a little more accurate. EDIT: Extremely interesting, regarding the last few songs - I did not know that 'Mad The Swine' was going to be featured between 'Great King Rat' and 'My Fairy King'; I had it pegged as an ideal album closer in lieu of 'Seven Seas Of Rhye...'. Also, I was convinced that 'See What A Fool' was an outtake from the debut album, as it didn't seem like an ideal "Queen II" track. However, that's not saying it actually originates from the sessions from the first album, but it would make far more sense. To me, at least.

John S Stuart Deity: 3901 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 11:51 So remind me - where does "Circles" fit in - or does that come later? Plenty to discuss there I hope. As I said, keep it civil. It was written as a "serious piece" in the spirit of "community information". Remember, I too am receptive to positive constructive comments. "Listen to them. Creatures of the night.

Lester Burnham Deity: 5870 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 11:55 I will second that "drool" and ask for a kleenex. Now, what's this about Circles, John? I'd never heard anything about that.
John S Stuart Deity: 3901 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 12:05 So remind me - where does "Circles" fit in - or does that come later? It was a very early Brain May collaboration - which only turned up about a year ago. I bought the CD but it was (in my opinion) disapointing. YV perhaps recalls better than I do - perhaps someone could ask her as I have lost her e-mail. (YV - what do you recall about "Circles" - and do you still have a link to the site?). Thanks - John xxx (Yes, that WAS grovelling!!!). "Listen to them. Creatures of the night. What music they make..."
Lester Burnham Deity: 5870 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 12:07 Ha! Excuse me while I grab my bucket. EDIT: of course, that was a joke. I do have Barbara's email address somewhere, John, I'll pass it along to you.
Lester Burnham Deity: 5870 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 12:36 Bump, so that this remains fresh on Queenzoners minds. Hopefully spurring some debate or awe.

Chaka Bohemian: 143 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 13:13 John, lest I be accused of "grovelling" I'd just like to thank you for sharing the information that most of us don't have access to, and for not letting the recent drama stop you from doing so.
Shane Jazz Bohemian: 683 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 13:13 A sincere thank you to Mr. Stuart. For about 90% of us Queenzoners, these kind of posts are the highlight of the board. I really appreciate it. Man Made Paradise
John S Stuart Deity: 3901 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 13:32 "Stand Up And Fight" by "Quartz" You can read about this CD here: http://www.rockdetector.com/artist,7114,rdbio.sm The "Quartz" 1977 debut album "Stand Up And Fight" featured sessions including Brian May as guest guitarist on a track called "Circles" (which also featured Ozzy Osbourne on backing vocals). The track was not included on the eventual album release - but WAS later released as the B-side to the "Quartz" single - "Stoking The Fires Of Hell". Earlier this year (2004) Majestic Rock (US) re-issued the debut "Quartz" CD called "Stand Up And Fight" - including "Circles" as an extra track. So clearly this track has nothing to do with "Queen" until circa "News Of The World" period. The only reason I mentioned it above was becuase I could not recall from memory whether it was an early or late 1970's session track. I can now see that it does not slot into the "Queen" debut time-frame, and I apologise for any hopes raised - or for any ensuing confusion. As a postscript "Circles" is still commercially available - for those who may be interested. EDIT: YV has contributed later in this thread. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=17764 This site is certainly worth a visit, and also, I am now allowed to say that the track IS available in the hub.

John S Stuart Deity: 3901 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 14:00 Additional Thanks/contributions: I have edited the above accordingly to include this new information, so thanks for the help there. Rather than create a new seperate thread for each acknowledgement - I will highlight my "thanks" in here... and edit in here when needed. (So watch this space). Queen: Unreleased De Lane Lea Demo Tape, October 1971 – February 1972 (Edit: Lester Burnham... five demos at De Lane Lea Studios were recorded on September 18, 1971 - Good shout Lester - but personally I think this would have taken longer considering that Queen were only allowed to use "downtime" - however the fact that it was recorded ABOUT this time is a great help).

Yes it does - but a copy has NOT been "found" by Greg or QP. These acetates were sold on the open market about 20 years ago. I think I need to explain here a little about acatete pressings. simply, acetates are "works of reference" recorded on disc, of a night's session in the studio. These tracks may (or may not be) recorded on master tape (EG Many Beatles acetates DO not exist as master recordings - and there is a great Beatles bootleg called - surprisingly enough - "Unreleased Acetates"!). These discs (depending on how many are cut) are usually retained by the band - or their producers/engineers etc. I have no idea of how many "Hangman" acetates were cut, but there is a world of difference between "can't be found - and - does not exist". Remember, I am writing what "I" KNOW about. The exciting thing for me is to find out about what I do NOT know about! "Listen to them. Creatures of the night. What music they make..."
Adam Baboolal Deity: 4853 posts	Posted: 20 Oct 04, 14:23 I can't be sure, but what do you think of Mad The Swine from the In Nuce cd?

Any other thoughts about this one? Agreed, as the band were notorious for being perfectionists, so it's highly unlikely that it took them only one day to get five songs done - look how long it took them to get their first album out! So, sessions probably STARTED on this day, but probably extended into October.
