GREG BROOKS session
On Sunday we got a interested session with Queen archivist Greg Brooks.
First he told that the archive box set, or whatever you will call it, is on hold until 2009. That means it's NOT sure it will be released anything, from the archive that year. It's just means, Queen production will might have a look on archive stuff at that time. And see if they can make a decision to release something from it.
Well, he play some studio session (demo) recordings from the archive, from track which is released. NO unreleased track was played.
(I mean, he played un-used parts, early take, out-take versions etc from released tracks).
- Somebody To Love Studio 'live' take when Freddie missed on the piano. No vocal on this take. About 4 minute.
- Tie Your Mother Down Multi track. Early demo take with 'guide vocal' by Brian to use for Freddie.
Greg explain to us, that sometimes they find multi track tapes, which including guide vocal to use for the lead vocal.
Brian write this track, and want to tell Freddie how he want the vocal part to sounded.
- Back Chat About 2 minute was played. This take including guitar solo.
- Don't Stop Me Now Take with piano, bass & drums. No guitar or vocals. Just a early recording of the tracks.
- I Go Crazy From 'Hot Space' recording session in Munich. Actually a 'live jam' take. No vocal.
- Pain Is So Close To Pleasure Demo version of the track. Similar to the original version.
- Let Me Entertain You Early demo take with lyric to 'We Are The Champions' ! singing at the end of the track.
- One Vision Early take of the song. Actually a 'working' take, to use for the band, to make a final version.
Greg call it a "Raw version" of the song.
This was the track he played for us in 2006. Thanks a lot.
After there was a question part.
I didn't write down all this, but I do note some interested.
Greg told us he have found a unreleased QUEEN version of the track LET ME IN YOUR HEART AGAIN.
Probably written by Brian, since Anita Dobson has a version of this song on her solo album.
BUT, the version which is in the archive is by QUEEN. Freddie on vocal.
Greg told us, it sound FANTASTIC. Not just a un-finish version. Oh no, it's a complete 'High technical quality' recording.
All in all, ready for release.
There is planed a competition CD / vinyl?? release later this year, with singles, b-side etc... Not so much info was given this time.
Probably like the Beatles did some year ago. No. 1 singles etc... But, b-side etc also included. I'm not sure. Only thing is that we
have it all before. Let's hope a 'new' track will be added. What about QUEEN version of "There Must Be More To Life Than This".
This Freddie track ARE in the Queen archive. We'll see later on what's come out.
LIVE concert releasing. DVD etc... Nothing new right now. Queen & Paul Rodgers is just released. So therefore.... we must wait.....
Queen's first manager, KEN TESTI was with us this year to.
He was asked the following question: - Was Queen's very FIRST concert in 1970 billed as SMILE ?. Rumours has been around stated this.
Ken told us he remember very well this early time. He guaranty all of us, that the first concert at City Hall in Cornwall, was
under the name QUEEN. He is 100% sure of this. So QUEEN was the name from the very first date.
visto ke ci sono mettiamo anche quella del 2004
