This version was not mixed the same way as the released version, but Mercury's vocals are really strong in the early part, as you noticed. THANK YOU for posting this.

Props to whoever suggested this and to you for putting it out there. I'd never heard this one before either...and It's great!

New for us here . Thanks for another cool experience ! Going back an checking out some ones that were missed ...🤘😎🤘 More Freddy up front. Oh yeah ! Good catch !

That's Roger Taylor the Drummer sing the high backup vocals. A good singer that rarely gets his props.

It’s pretty good for an outtake. The album version is even better. And yes Brian may is one of the best.

To hear him by himself, listen and watch his 1976 Hyde Park, London performance of You take my breath away, just him and piano, an unrecorded record at the time he performed it.

Check out Queen March of the Black Queen

Freddie always kills it, and this is in my top five Queen songs. It's a strong alternate lead vocal but I can see why he and the band chose the take they released. It has more upper register moments that take the song to the highest heights. As for other great rock vocalists, Chris Cornell is amazing.

I haven't heard this version before. Loved it. I really appreciate you doing this song and liking it. 12.43 of my time I don't regret! Do more!

Definitely more Queen coming, I'm gonna get more into what I like on the channel

This is one of my favorite Queen songs, how did I miss this until now? I’ve not heard this version. Freddie is kicking ass! And Brian May is top 5 guitarists for me.

Fantastic analysis. I’m a die-hard Queen fan since the beginning. Not a fan of Adam Lambert, either. Freddie was definitely the greatest, and Brian May deserves props. But, you can’t ignore the solid baselines of John Deacon or the masterful fills by drummer Roger Taylor. My personal favorite song, showcasing Freddie’s vocals, is “One Year of Love”, written by John Deacon. One of the eight songs that Queen did for the soundtrack of the movie Highlander.

Please take a listen to the official album version, as this one was an alternate take (only released on the 40th anniversary edition as bonus material).

My favorite Queen song and I love this particular version the best!

Glad someone is doing some of Queen’s more “obscure” songs. Your reaction earned you a sub 🤗

wish there was a love button :)

Oh, and by the way, Brian wrote this. He may have had a good amount of input on how it got mixed.

They all were at the mixing desk a lot (they were all control freaks lol). I heard that Freddie liked it when the guitars challenged the vocals (like a duet) in a video about we are the champions.

Early versions..., demo versions... alternative version.... all of Queen’s and Freddie’s stuff are amazing!! “All dead, all dead”... with Freddie version, “Stealin’ 12 minutes sesión.., “Dreamers Ball”, or “Who needs you”... all of that are very hidden gems ready to discover!!! Thanks for your reaction..!! 👍🏻👍🏻✅✅🥰🌸❤️

Really enjoyed your comments. I love all these alternate versions, especially if there is any dialogue with the band included. This track was written in I believe 1977 & that might account for the engineering issues you describe as the technology was obviously very different. I saw an interview recently where they discussed how they would try many different versions of a song & Freddie joked, “yea well you don’t have to sing all of them!”

Your command over the English language is also impressive. I have loved Queen since about 1977 and love all four of them. Freddie holds a special place for me because with him always trying for perfection truly earned it most of the time. Not to mention Bei, John and Roger who all wrote excellent songs and were better than some thought they were. The four of them together were just perfection.

Freddie never disappoints & the rest of Queen is just awesome

He.is.known.for.his.enunciation.Gads,WHAT.A.VOICE!!!..I.love.this.song.&.also."Save.Me"

Besides Innuendo this is the best Queen song!

Wow! Love the deep track reaction. It would be fun to hear more deep tracks from other great ones

and well, last comment - this is Brian May's song... and Roger is totally rockin' out as well... :)

Wow loved your reaction. It's Late is one of my fav's! Thank you! Thank you! Freddie can reflect/absorb/project any musical instrument, this was his reflection of the band and its amazing abilities.

Watch it LIVE - you will be blown away --

All I've ever heard was the album version. The alternative was fkn' amazing! Thanks for that!!! Yes, Freddie is one of those vocalist that one can only aspire to be. Amazing job brother!

best and the most interesting queen reaction on you tube

It is great to see someone react to this song! It is one of my favorite Queen songs, I do really like this alternative version.

Dragon Attack!!! Another Queen jam!!!

Listen to the extended version of the demo for " Stealin'" please, it wasn't on an album, but was the b side of a single in a shorter version, and the 1979 Paris version of Dreamers Ball for different sounds

Get Down, Make Love is another deep cut by Queen! Saw them many times in the late 70's & 80's!

Freddie was the best ❤❤❤❤ Check out Who Needs You from the same 40th anniversary edition. So good. Also if you haven't seen it already please react to Somebody To Love live from Montreal. THE best live performance ever imo.

This isn’t the final mix that was on the record. You need to listen to that too. The Queen treasure trove is so deep that once you get into it you cannot escape. News of the World alone has numerous different styles or genres on it and they are all amazing. Queen are the greatest ever.

Roger Roger Best drumer

I do prefer the album version but maybe it's because it's the version I am familiar with.

This song was from the News of the World album and my favorite. I love every song on it. Freddy's vocals on My Melancholy Blues is phenomenal .

Yeah Brian gets too little love, people claim his "Skill" is all in his Red Special home build guitar (I've seen some Prog agings hipsters says his guitar is all tricks, they've obviously never seen him live or tried to play a Red special replica). He DOES get respect from actual guitarists. Folks like Satriani have love for him and his skills.

Yeah - Brian all the way -- I hate it when people today criticize he and Roger for "moving on" - OMG - I loved Freddie, too - there will never be another like him -- but musicians gotta "mus-ish" if you know what I mean - it's not disrespectful to continue your playing/writing/performing even though you've lost a great member of your band... it's what you do!

My all time favorite Queen song, thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories with Queen 😊

I've never heard this one before. A treat.

Awesome version to an awesome song, my favorite of theirs. If you want Freddie on top you need the original version.

Freddie.. amazing as usual, this is a raw version, still brilliant... however... the track off the album, he hits supersonic heights -WOW Exhausting 😉 ❤️Freddie ❤️

Freddie was the greatest but please remember there were four in the group and together they were absolute perfection.

Though you are not a fan of Adam Lambert, I will give you my analysis. Saw Queen twice in 74 and 81. I am now 62 years old and knew if I didn't get off my dead ass I would never again see Brian May's genius. Saw them in Pittsburgh this summer. So glad I did . Brian blew us a way with a nine minute solo. Funny but for years whenever I play queen I point my finger and cue Brian, found myself doing that at the concert also. Adam Lambert is amazingly humble and respectful of Freddie and Queen fans. Can you imagine the thought of stepping into Freddie's shoes. I thank him because if it were not for him Queen would not be touringand I would have never seen Bri and Roger again.

How did I miss this the first time around?? Awesomeness!!

You should listen to the studio version, guarantee it will blow your mind

Haven’t heard this version of it. The release version was definitely tighter but good to hear this alternative version

I loved your analysis and this version of one of my favorites. I hope you will explore the Queen II album. It has many really outstanding tracks but for contrast, White Queen written by Brian May and The March of the Black Queen written by Freddie are really stunning. Also from the 1974 Sheer Heart Attack album, Stone Cold Crazy has been called the first thrash metal song. Brian May's riff in this one is outstanding and so is Freddie's amazing vocal.

Wow that was so fun to watch, love your reaction and comment. I would love to hear what you have to say about March of the black queen and the prophet's song. Thank you thank you for this not often it's late version, loved to watch it you!

Finished version on: QUEEN "News of the World". 1977

Fantastic song overall. As an aspiring drummer, though, it's Roger's PHENOMENAL drumming here that pushes this song into my top 10 of all Queen songs. (Although, I do prefer the mix that made it on the album, not this one).

Listen to the album version it’s a totally different mix. Also, EVERYBODY talks about Brian. He is at the top of every guitar player list. Great take on it. I love your reaction vids.

Great song. This song was written my Brian about a woman while on the road. It was followed by Too Much Love Will Kill You, which he wrote about his affair and struggle with his wife and family. He eventually left and is still married to her. He contemplated suicide during that time.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good God! just realised how pompous my comment sounded, so I've deleted it. Really just wanted to say thank you for your thoughtful analysis.

You've made some gr8 points,agree 100%! Thanks for the vídeo,greetings from Brazil!! PS: Would u do a "Stranger in Moscow-live in Bucharest" ,by Michael Jackson,please? Would love to see that!

News of the World was the album Kurt Cobain played while he was waiting for his dad at the lumberyard

I found a remastered version on Google Play. I don't have the fancy head gear. If you can listen to a sample that is offered and let me know if they sat the vocals on top or not would be a great update. Thanks enjoy what you do Dramaside!

News of the world album was huge album when I started high school. Always thought this song was deep cut treasure! ...Oh, ps this is an alternate version to the album. I can hear it's a little different to the album. Also they were so experimental as were so many of the 70's bands, the mix just might an extension of that creativity.

Brian may wrote this song, but his baby ( to be on his solo ) just sounded better sung by Freddie. Brian may was in love with another woman.

the final mix is the choice of the song writer, in this case Brian May.

This is not the final version though, sort of a pre-final version. The studio released version was a tougher vocal rendition. First time visiting here. I prefer your Queen reactions over the bandwagon click-baiters,, love it.

Man I am up at 330 in the morning feeling sick so I have been binge watching your channel. Upchurch brought me to you and I subbed because you are genuine and that's what I respect. I think there is a song/music video you would really enjoy. If it's not too much to ask, would you consider checking out "Monument" by Mutemath? The music video is based on a real man's story. Reminds me of my grandma and grandfather. Thanks so much and I love the channel ❤️

BTW, you must have noticed this is "alternative" version - not the final mix...
