Hi, so I’ve been listening to CMI’s expanded collection, and it’s amazing.
However I’ve had a few problems with the placement of the non-album tracks, as they’re placed at the end and are usually not fitting as the song you hear.
Specificity the tracks, Feelings Feelings, A Human Body, Soul Brother, and Lost Opportunity. (As well as the others, but theses ones bug me the most)
So I’m asking you guys, what’s the best way to fit theses tracks into the album itself?
I’m aware that Mad The Swine has an unofficial placement as the 4th song on Queen I, which is the perfect spot for the track, I just want to figure out the rest of them.
Anyways thanks for replying.

Welcome to the forum.  Unless I'm missing the point, surely the fact that they are non-albums tracks means that they wouldn't have a 'place' on the albums anyway, as they were never meant to. As you say, the exception being MTS, which we know was meant for the album but got taken off. |

I take it to mean where best would the song fit on its respective album?
If so, A Human Body always sounds good to me before Save Me and I would probably place Soul Brother between Body Language and Action This Day. Let Me In Your Heart Again would follow It’s a Hard Life and I Go Crazy after Break Free.
But there are B-sides like See What a Fool I’ve Been or Blurred Vision or Lost Opportunity or even Forever that just don’t work on their respective albums. And with The Miracle you’ve got an album and a half there, so it’s a bit tough.

Swafib could be squeezed in at the end of side 1 if one really insisted on inserting it, I'd say

The only B-side that I struggle to listen to after the album is 'Lost Opportunity'. All other B-sides are great to listen to after the parent album.
It doesn't mean I hate the song. Simply it is hard to listen to low-key blues after TSMGO...

I would substitute SWAFIB for The Loser in the End, but if not, then place it on the end of Side White. Feelings Feelings would go between All Dead, All Dead and Spread Your Wings. Would put A Human Body in between Don't Try Suicide and Sail Away Sweet Sister. Soul Brother in between Calling All Girls and Las Palabras De Amor. Agreed with georg on LMIYHA. I Go Crazy to end Side One after Man On The Prowl. Too many to shove in on The Miracle. Lost Opportunity after TATDOOL. |

Mad The Swine: between "Son And Daugther" and "Jesus" on Queen
See What A Fool I've Been:
A Human Body: after "Don't Try Suicide" you still have a human body
Soul Brother: right after "Back Chat" to improve Hot Space by 10000% (great album even with BL anyway)
Let Me In Your Heart Again: i like the idea of closing side A of "The Works" with the song
I Go Crazy: closing side A of "The Works"
Blurred Vision: bonus track only
A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling: bonus track only
Forever: bonus track only
Hang On In There: make "The Miracle" a double album and put the b-sides next to their a-sides!
Chinese Torture: was on the album on CD anyway. why was it never released on vinyl and not even on the newer pressings?
Stealin': make "The Miracle" a double album and put the b-sides next to their a-sides!
Hijack My Heart: make "The Miracle" a double album and put the b-sides next to their a-sides!
My Life Has Been Saved (1989): make "The Miracle" a double album and put the b-sides next to their a-sides!
Lost Opportunity: a great left-over that is nice as a b-side but I don't miss it on the album "Innuendo" (it's just great as it is)
No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young): rather than one song I would liked to have heard an album by Roger, Brian and John after "Made In Heaven" if the style
is not too far away from this song.
I smell a new Queen compilation (Non-album tracks and b-sides) while listening the songs here. And now this one would be nice to have!!

Mad the Swine would come before Great King Rat.
SWAFIB would come before Ogre Battle.
Feelings would come before Sleeping on the Sidewalk.
A Human Body would replace Save Me. (I used to like Save Me a long time ago, but when I got back into Queen it died on me). It would come after Don't Try Suicide.
Soul Brother would replace Body Language.
I Go Crazy would replace Tear it Up.
Hang On In There, Hijack My Heart, and Stealin' would all be added to the Miracle, in various slots.
Lost Opportunity would replace Delilah.

Now do it again with no replacements, only insertions... Are replacements a taboo or something?? Here's what insertions would look like.... Mad the Swine would come between Doing Alright and Great King Rat. SWAFIB would end the White Side of Queen II after the Loser in the End. Feelings would come between Sleeping on the Sidewalk and Who Needs You. A Human Body would come between Rock It and Don't Try Suicide, but could work well on either side of Don't Try Suicide. Soul Brother would come between Cool Cat and Under Pressure. I Go Crazy would come between Machines and I Want to Break Free. Hang On In There, Hijack My Heart, and Stealin' would all be added to the Miracle, in various slots: Hang On after Khashoggi's, Hijack between The Invisible Man and Breakthru, and Stealin' between Scandal and My Baby Does Me. Lost Opportunity would go between the Hitman and Bijou. |

It's all theoretical, just curious
