Hello everybody.
Here is another article from the Italian press about the Queen album 'Made In Heaven'. The aforementioned article was published in the newspaper La Stampa on Monday 24 April 1995 in the section dedicated to the world of entertainment: it is entitled 'E Mercury risorge (ma in voce)' (translated as 'And Mercury rises (but in voice)'). It does not actually contain any new information (nor too many details on the record), but merely tells how the three ex-Queens worked after Mercury's death, taking the example of the Beatles and the 'Anthology' project and talking about new technologies in music.
Have a good reading.

A new record
And Mercury rises (but in voice)
LONDON. Electronics makes immortal. Thanks to the new recording techniques Freddie Mercury, the great pop interpreter who died of Aids in 1991, will return to sing with his Queen in a record produced by Emi which will be on sale at Christmas. The band's three "former Queens" - John Deacon, Roger Meadows Taylor and Brian May - will add vocals and backing music to songs recorded on the piano by Mercury several years ago. In recent months the three have worked mainly on two songs: "Too Much Love Will Kill You" and "Heaven For Everyone".
It is not the first time that a music leader "resurrects" at least vocally, to a new life. It happened for example to John Lennon. The three former Beatles, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison, are recording an album together again, in which the voice of Lennon, who died fourteen years ago, will also be heard. Nothing extraordinary from the point of view of musical engineering, thanks also to a tape released from the Lennonian archives (which the widow Yoko Ono manages with her usual managerial attitude) and to the current very sophisticated recording systems.
We are at the virtual compact disc, therefore. Now you can sing together stars from different parts of the world who have never met and even, of course, great missing characters.
Another example? A duet bordering on necrophilia, "Unforgettable". The record, released with extraordinary success in '91, features singer Nathalie Cole (who is alive and in excellent health) and her father, Nat King Cole, who has left this vale of tears for about thirty years.
