Bad Boy DEACON JOHN RICHARD PRS 87029069 INNER CIRCLE NS 0 Uhm, what?? Apparently a Deacon song is quoted or sampled in the COPS theme song (bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you) but I’m not able to listen to the song at the moment to corroborate.

New title: Rock The Piano, by Brian. (Not sure how to link directly to the title; I don't think you can, actually, but it's there!) I would be surprised if this was a Queen/Queen II era track, but anything's possible! Was there a piano in any of the Star Fleet tracks? It's actually a fair while since I've sat and listened to them. Ah that’s a possibility! Or maybe it’s a new title for an otherwise untitled song? But coming from Star Fleet sessions makes more sense.

I would be surprised if this was a Queen/Queen II era track, but anything's possible! A YouTube video called "Rock the Piano" was uploaded on November 18 by professional musician Natalia Posnova, and it credits Brian May as composer. It features "exquisite piano interpretations of legendary Queen music." I'd never heard of her, but her website mentions a project called "Queen Rhapsody" and has a picture of her with Brian and his glowing comments about her work. No demo here, sadly!

False alarm everyone!

I noticed that the song polar Bear was listed on songview with Queen listed as the performer, could this be a sign of a 50th anniversary release perhaps.

It would clearly be logical to include that early stuff on a Queen album revamp, as well as a full and proper remix (keeping the original version as well), plus any other odd bits they've got. Not sure if any outtakes would have survived, as they would have been on a budget back then, and didn't they (generally, not just Queen) used to erase and reuse the tapes?

There's got to be enough for nice extras to the main album. I mean, we already have a complete take of "Polar Bear", we got "Mad The Swine" almost 20 years later out of the blue, we know there are early versions of "Liar", "Stone Cold Crazy", "Hangman", "White Queen", probably lots of early live gigs with rare tracks and covers...
Pretty sure they could do a very special "Queen" 50th anniversary version if they really commit to it.

Did Brian mention he had copies of all of Queen live shows recently? A 50th Queen album box set would definitely be on my to buy list.

I just wish they'd commit to making special editions of all the albums in sequence. If this goes like before (thinking about the DVD-As), they'll do a few then stop.
Then again, if it's going to be two or three years between each release, I might not get to hear them all. 😬

I'm pretty sure he's said they used to record all their shows. What has survived, and what may be viable for a release, is perhaps a different question.

He did talk once about "monitor recordings" or something like that, meaning recordings that aren't quite what you would expect as soundboard recordings, but rather something they would review after the show and work on any problems they would detect on them. These wouldn't be releasable, but perhaps these recordings are independent from the actual show recording.

Pretty sure they could do a very special "Queen" 50th anniversary version if they really commit to it. There's also (supposedly) the 1972 Marquee and the 1970 Imperial College gigs. But since we're talking about QP if there will be a Queen I boxset in the future we will get some demos and outtakes and the BBC sessions labelled as "live bonus tracks"...

A new Deacon title has shown up, and it’s an interesting one: QIMATSILUNGA (I have no idea if it’s an acronym or??). This is interesting because it’s credited to just him – other curious titles are generally other artists who sample Queen songs – and also because of such a strange title! I can’t even imagine what it would stand for, or what era it came from. Nothing new from the others, sad to say. Well sad to say, this isn’t some previously unreleased Deacon song… it’s a cover of I Want to Break Free by Inuit singer Elisapie: exclaim.ca/music/article/elisapie_covers_metallica_fleetwood_mac_blondie_queen_on_new_album_inuktitut

I can’t even imagine what it would stand for, or what era it came from. Nothing new from the others, sad to say. elisapie.bandcamp.com/album/inuktitut"I want to break free" in Inuit language Inuktitut is Elisapie's fourth solo effort. It's a covers album that sprouted in the artist's mind in the winter of 2021, when songs by artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, Queen, and Cyndi Lauper, whose music once took over the community radio airwaves throughout Nunavik, Northern Quebec, triggered a flood of tears. Many of these songs were an escape as the community and cultural references were being challenged by colonization. Elisapie began a mental archaeological process: finding songs associated with emotional memories and people from her past. She followed that with a second, more prosaic quest. She sought the permission of the original artists to translate and adapt the songs that are now on this album. Elisapie reinvigorates the poetry of these 10 songs thanks to the raw sounds of the thousand-year-old Inuit language and gives each track a unique and deeply personal quality. The tracks range from rock & roll and pop classics from the 1960’s to the 90’s. Every song is linked to a loved one or an intimate story that has shaped the person Elisapie is today. Through this act of cultural reappropriation, she tells her story, offers these songs as a gift to her community, and makes her language and culture resonate beyond the Inuit territory.

These wouldn't be releasable, but perhaps these recordings are independent from the actual show recording. "Releasable" is a very flexible concept. Relatively minor problems have supposedly stopped them from releasing concerts in the past as standalone live albums. On the other hand, what's the quality threshold for a bonus in a multi-disc boxset? Especially if we take into account we're talking about the times before they were a professional band. I'm sure it'd be possible to make a boxset with a remaster of the first album (or maybe the first 2 or 3 albums), a disc of bsides, alternate takes, demos etc, a better quality live concert on another disc (Golders Green 73 restored?) and either lower quality concert with great historical value (something from 71 or 72 featuring, let's say, the infamous slower version of Stone Cold Crazy) or a bunch of interesting live tracks taken from such recordings. They've already released essentially a bootleg of a Magic Tour rehearsal on a Wembley bonus disc, recorded on a personal camera. I think it's all about how it's sold.

Somehow I don`t think so, we might get a lit bit here, a little bit there, but as a whole package ? With the buy-out happening sometime soon, I can foresee GH1...GH2...GH3 coming out in shiny new packaging first. Hope I`m a 100% wrong and what you have mentioned sees the light of day.

"Eyes of the White Queen" is a piano-based interpretation of White Queen from 2022 by Natalia Posnova. She's the same artist who did "Rock the Piano," which is another song on Songview that had us guessing here. Sigh.
