Since the early 2000s there’s been a few Queen releases that exclusively came out on digital platforms, and many of them simply aren’t available to buy/download any more. (The 46664 tracks and the Queen + Paul Rodgers live downloads are perhaps the most obvious examples, but there’s other things like Q+PR’s performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody” from Hyde Park that was on the Bo Rhap 30th anniversary EP, or even some of the recent Brian & Kerry Ellis single mixes.)
Golden Salmon’s excellent Unusual Anthology includes the 46664 tracks, but a lot of other things have seemingly been lost to time. Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to find some of these missing bits and pieces?

Well here's a question to the Admin then: if it's official, but unavailable, can they be shared here?

Is it out of copyright?

All I can add is that I'd be surprised if digital media can completely disappear. It's not like a physical product where there might have been limited copies available. I'm sure these could be found somewhere, just not here. 🙂

I wish I'd grabbed the digital download of Amandla when I'd had the chance. It was a catchy tune with a nice piano riff by Brian and Dave Stewart.

No One But You is closer in age to Keep Yourself Alive than it is to anything current.
I feel very old.
