Rare Cuts Vol. 3 has three a capella tracks that sound like they are derived from the Rock Band video game, “We Are The Champions,” “Play The Game” and “Calling All Girls.” These have been floating around for several years and are very limited in appeal. While it’s interesting to hear Freddie’s melodramatic intonation, there isn’t much really of value.
Master Stroke also include three “ultra 12″ remixes” of “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “Another One Bites The Dust” and “Under Pressure.” The first two are very long, averaging about eight minutes, are are simply the commercial versions of the tracks with instrumental introductions and interludes taken from the songs. They’re fun for dancing, but ultimately aren’t very creative.
The interesting tracks include the demos for The Game and Hot Space. “Save Me,” one of Queen’s more underrated tunes, is represented with two separate demos. The “synthesizer” demo starts with a count-in before the track. The grand piano is missing and is replaced by a synthesizer playing the melody, vocal and bass parts. An electronic drum machine keeps the beat. The following vocal demo is a bona fide studio outtake and not a Rock Band style isolated track. It is a minute long tape featuring Freddie singing the song over the instrumental track.
“Sandbox” dates from the 1979 sessions for The Game at Musicland Studio in Munich. It is a heavy instrumental track featuring piano, bass and drums. Brian May doesn’t’ appear on the track (perhaps this was an impromptu jam session while Freddie, Roger and John were waiting). There are occasional vocals, but nothing coherent. This track first surfaced in 2004 at the Queen Fan Club convention. Recorded straight from the audience, the track was marred by Greg Brooks repeating “Property Of Queen Productions” throughout, but thankfully this version has that edited out.
Following “Staying Power” are three demos from Hot Space. “Las Palabras De Amor,” clocking in at 4:20, is quite similar to the commercial take but seems more basic. It also omits the ten second build-up to the song, replacing it with a short drum intro, and contains several lyric changes.
“Action This Day” is also quite similar to the official version except for some changes in the mix. The synthesizer solo at 2:19 is noticeably different and slightly longer. The backing vocals after the horn solo are missing and there are slight changes in the lyrics. It’s been rumored that a demo with Taylor singing exists in the vaults, but it has yet to see the light of day. And for “Back Chat,” the obvious difference is Taylor’s heavy drum solo ninety seconds into the song is omitted, leaving only the normal beat.
Ultimately, this is another nicely assembled collection of Queen artifacts that are nice to have enshrined on silver disc and is worth having.
