Just when we thought we’d heard everything from Freddie, a recently rediscovered classic is being shared for the first time since it was recording in 1988. It features the late Mercury in a song recorded during sessions for 1989 album The Miracle. “We did find a little gem from Freddie, that we’d kind of forgotten about,” drummer Roger Taylor said about the track in June.
“It’s wonderful, a real discovery. It’s a very passionate piece.” The song is one of six unreleased tracks to feature in a forthcoming box set of The Miracle, four of which feature Mercury’s vocals. Queen’s 1989 album The Miracle will be reissued in November as an 8-disc ‘Collector’s Edition’ box set. The 5CD+blu-ray+DVD+LP package will feature a ‘rediscovered’ Queen song, a Miracle outtake called ‘Face It Alone’ (available as a 7″ single via JPC in Germany) and more than an hour of previously unreleased sessions. The box also contains 12-inch versions, B-sides, instrumentals (called Miracu-mentals), radio interviews and more.
As well, this set also comes with a black vinyl LP of the album which is the so-called ‘Long Lost Original LP Cut’ with the original unreleased version of ‘Too Much Love Will Kill You’, which was pulled from the original version of the album at the last minute back in 1989. Non-music content includes a 76-page hardcover book, two posters, two postcards and four art prints. :0
