- Taken from Queen - News Of The World - 40th Anniversary Edition
Pre-order now: queen.lnk.to/NOTW40
A special box set of Queen's landmark 1977 album News of the World is here, marking the 40th anniversary of the original release.
The new package includes the original album on CD, plus two further CDs of recently unearthed out-takes and rarities from the band's archives, one of which is a newly created ‘alternative’ version of the whole album - Raw Sessions.
For many Queen devotees, this Raw Sessions CD will be the most intriguing component of the new release. Mined deep from long-vaulted studio multi-track tapes, this extraordinary parallel album brings to light never-before-heard alternative versions of each of the album’s 11 tracks. Every lead vocal is different, as are most of the lead guitar parts and a great many other instrumental details. Here we experience We Are The Champions anew, with many unfamiliar vocal and instrumental elements, and for the first time at its full-recorded length rather than the edited 1977 album cut. Here also is the chance to discover peak era Freddie Mercury vocals on a track that nobody outside Queen’s inner circle has heard him sing before at all - Brian May’s All Dead, All Dead. The original album version features May himself on vocals. Roger Taylor’s Sheer Heart Attack can be heard with its original long-lost guitar intro and uncut ending. Taylor’s other song, Fight From The Inside, is more remarkable in that we hear his demo vocal worked on in his home studio in preparation for the next sessions.
Another outstanding feature of this weighty 40th anniversary box is a pure analogue re-cut of the original vinyl LP, direct from the unmastered analogue master mix tapes. There is also a rich selection of NOTW related memorabilia including three posters and a 60-page book of images, mostly previously unseen.
The package is completed with a brand new one-hour DVD documentary, Queen : The American Dream, created from backstage material filmed during Queen’s 1977 USA News of the World tour.

4:30 "That was a lovely feel. That's exactly how it should be." - Freddie.
I like a good feel.
You know it's right when Freddie says it's right.
aa pero when eres gringo y entiendes lo que dice xDXCdxXDdxX
cuin
It's so great they left this sentence at the end :-)
I can't believe his voice was this fresh after 37000 takes
Preston Slack don’t know if you’re kidding but he was joking.
Not sure if you know what sarcasm is...
*depressed sigh
Yes I know it's sarcasm
Preston Slack oh no, my reply wasn't for you... It's for the other guy.
Thanks. I appreciate the support lol
Anyone else wanna hear Bohemian Rhapsody and Somebody to Love raw? I know I sure would!
bohemian surely have 37 k takes
only 180 layers actually
Actually the multitracks for Bohemian were leaked to the internet a few years ago, I've got a copy somewhere. It's a nightmare to try and piece together.
Hahha for bohemian rhapsody it will take a lot of videos because freddie want it to be perfect so they made a lot of tapes of every part until freddie though that was the right one
Hey, guess what?! They've released it in the form of a movie!
I hope they"ll do this with the rest of the albums 😍😍😍
They make who wants to live for ever
aldemar valarezo pineda what do you mean?
And I hope for Hot Space...
I think he means they make me want to live forever. 👍🏽
i wish they would’ve done this with Queen II, my favorite Queen album for sure.
I think I actually prefer this version to the officially released 'famous' version. Freddie's voice is superb and Brian is killing it on guitar.
Right! His voice is more than just great in this one!
Instruments sound better &You can feel the bass more in the album version
I love the guitar in this version
Awesome Adam Yeah in a video I saw while they’re recording the song in the background you can hear John say “more bass please”
Bri is always killing it
Honestly the guitar work is the highlight of this, its so different from the final version.
That's why Brian decided to put this on the new release :D
I love this song.
unknown user the guitar is way better I think, I love the piano on this version as well, they're both amazing (as is anything by queen) but I honestly prefer this version
Somebody To Love actually has some unused guitar too
@@knueppeldick there's a new release!??
0:08 I've heard this ”dadadada…” over and over and over again…. Natural but beautiful ;)
💗
“That was a lovely feel. That’s exactly how it should be.” -Freddie Mercury
You’re not wrong, you beautiful man. ♥️
He was right
There’s something that just feels so empowering about the line, “I consider it a challenge before the whole human race, and I ain’t gonna lose” to me. Freddie is basically saying that he’s willing to take on a challenge that not even the human race is capable of, and he isn’t going to let anything bring him down. That one line of lyrics just makes the whole song for me. It’s such an uplifting and chilling line, and easily one of the best moments of any Queen song ever in my opinion. The way Freddie sang it here should’ve been kept in the final studio recording, hell, this whole raw version should’ve been kept in the final studio recording. There’s something about raw versions of songs that, while yes, studio recordings tend to strive more for perfect sound, raw versions have more true spirit. Which, in a way, makes them feel more perfect. Queen is the most legendary and unforgettable band of all time, and their spirit will forever live on through the music he, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor have given us.
The second way he sand the line "And we'll keep on fighting til the end" seems to be one of the takes left in the final cut
Love hearing these alternate versions and the banter in the studio.
Have you heard ‘one dump, a turd, two tits, John Deacon’ ?
@@caitlin632 Chicken feet baby!
One dump, one turd, two tits John Deacon
God, I wish I was a college student in the late 70s and 80s just to see this man. I would be a total fan girl. Forget the Beatles, this is the real British Invasion. Goosebumps.
Agree, beatles are nothing compared with queen. Anybody can sings and sounds like lennon / mccartney.
But no one can make a song, sings like freddie
@@ImotoriumVLOG Your statement that the Beatles are nothing compared with Queen is so wrong on so many levels. One of their influencers were the Beatles. Freddie said that he liked John Lennon's things. Brian said that the White Album is a complete catalog of how you should use a studio to build songs. The Beatles may not be way above Queen but without them, Queen wouldn't have been as well as they are now. Also, the Beatles aren't just John and Paul. George and Ringo also exist and were key members, idiot.
TL;DR: The Beatles inspired Queen and were one of their favorite bands. Choose a different band to pick from, dipshit.
respect opinions... fuck...
I was lucky to see them 6 times, and at Live Aid, in the 70's and 80's. The greatest band ever. Met them in 78 too xx
@@redicendia1355 he was probably stating his opinion, you don't need to call him a dipshit.. dipshit
Hearing him makes me cry.
Yeah...shed a tear everytime I hear Queen's song...grew up listening to Queen
Often. But crying with and because of Freddie is way better than not hearing Freddie ], right????
His most honest and forthright performance, a fitting way to end a show and after that to come on stage to the strains of God Save The Queen wearing a Crown what else? God bless her late Majesty and the mercurial Freddie.
You fought right to the end ❤
I don’t understand how people can dislike this music??? It’s amazing!
They are trolls, stupid, haters or whatever. Who cares, they're losers!
Most likely a single man and some bots.
We only are the real champions by listening to this.
I got to be honest Queen is my favorite 1 band rock in the entire whole world.
"Of the world" never ends, that makes me fell in the dislike button XD
Just their odd way of stating- their need of help.
"That was a lovely feel" Hell yeah it was :D
2:00 that raspy voice he does is just amazing
Freddie's voice is just 😍😍😍
... legendary? unique? non-replaceble? :)
I prefer the vocals in this version
i also like the guitar better
also the piano.
also the bass
Also the everything.
I also liked this one just as much. Strange to hear variations on something I know better than anything.
I wish Freddy was here I would love to hear him live. ❤️
Aiborlang Phanwar Freddie*.
he was fantastic and a great showman saw them 5 times
This is the one time I will say this, I wish I was born earlier so I could have the chance to see Queen live. I absolutely love them and I wish I could’ve seen them, but instead there’s today’s crap. Some aren’t bad but none will ever beat Queen. Well none even come close besides what’s left of Queen. If i ever have the chance to see the remaining members play, I will leap on it.
He was incredible and I was in awe--saw them 7 times!
@@drummerboy5142 Woah!! Where did you see them?
This is golden
Even in a "Raw Session" they sound better than anything today!
This raw session version is gonna solve the "of the world" issue......
NOT
Rover Waters yes, even in raw he never said "of the world", that's a live exclusive of this song.
Correct, Data's creator. Just watched live at Wembley yesterday and Roger actually sang the of the world line at the very end, and on the album it is not sung at the end.
Anish Pandit VH1 South Africa has a version with “of the world” at the end of the video. I even filmed it
Exactly
Who thinks this is better than official version🔊🎧??
it isnt
@@kostadinfrengov6994 it is
@@kostadinfrengov6994 it is much better
I do.
Yes I agree
MY FAVOURITE PART IS 0:00-4:35
The voice is top notch
Da da da da... Freddie’s voice sounds fantastic singing anything 😘😘😘
Freddie sounds amazing on this
Take 1 = BAD
Take 2 = EEW
Take 37 thOOUsand = *BRILLIANT!*
Yes but take one still better than every one can sing
best version, definitely.
I've paid my dues
Time after time.
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes ‒
I've made a few.
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through.
(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world.
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls.
You brought me fame and fortune, and everything that goes with it.
I thank you all.
But it's been no bed of roses,
No pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race,
And I ain't gonna lose.
(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world.
We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions.
[Not in the original version:] Of the world
Love Queen and Freddie so much but I honestly wish the official release had of the world at the end
me too, it seems incomplete without it :/
If you whath 70s concert version there is Of the world
new version:no''of the world'' 😤
@@richardmacgillivray4582 that feel when there's no ''of the world at the end'' 😩
Amo el sentimiento que usa para cantar esta canción, y el esfuerzo que hace🥺👏
Muchas gracias Freddie por traernos esta joyita de canción
I like these Raw Sessions of Queen especially while listening to it with earphones. I can literally hear everyone playing like John Deacon's bass as well as the band's distinct voices during the harmony part of the song. You can hear some parts of the song that did not made it to the final cut. Just pure uncut version of the song. So awesome!
Freddie 's voice sounds so strong and clear. What a wonderful song!
Freddie Mercury - The greatest man that ever lived! Always missed x
Steven Nodlehs he's legendary
The guitar is fantastic!!
Raw versions are the best!
His voice Is Just Amazing here
It's simply so dear to listen to their voices in such an authentic setting, Brian must've been on the edge of his nerves by 37,000, hahaha! We still love you Queen!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Did you hear Mr. Mercury that's a lovely fell, that's exactly how should be. Queen 👑
How can ANYONE DISLIKE this. Queen is EPIC.
Freddie's voice sounds so amazing!! #Mexico
Amazing, a great present for the hard core fans...keep them coming!
Amazing and beautiful version!
If Freddie was still here everyone who sings will be jealous of him why don’t we have more singers like him Freddie’s voice was one of a kind
Pretty amazing extended version, of one of the best Queen songs ever.
The world won't see the same legend like him. Rest in peace enchanter...
Bro Freddie's voice is so killer
The purity and brilliance of a musical masterpiece!! ❤️👑❤️
Ahh Freddie's laugh💓💓
I love this version. Freddie's voice is beautiful. The addition of different sounds adds to it also.
Best voice ever 😍👑🎙️
Lovely. I can’t stop listening this masterpiece over and over.
that piano finale just killed me omg
The power of his voice when he says 00:40 "I've had my share of sand, Kicked in my face..."
Freddie`s voice is the music itself.The reason why no other should sing instead of him in Queen!
Goooooood he hit a lot of Bb4 and C5 in one run ! Eargasm, Got no word to describe it but magnificooo
"This will be take 37,000" - love you, Freddie!
Я в шоке, очень классно! Превосходный вокал! Вокалище!!!!
ppl joking about that 37 K take, but does anybody realizes this is actualy 37th run ?!?!?!?!?!? what a fucking amazing voice !!!! Whole band is awesome, but try sing ANYTHING 37 times and dont loose your voice forever !!!! whoa !!!!
cokoladka cz Pravda, ale kdo vi, kolikaty to byl pokus :D treba to byl jen vtip
It's only the backing track (piano, drums, bass) that took 37 takes. The vocals were sung over said take.
Aneta Nováková What?
You don't really understand much about recording music, do you? :-)
r/notawooshbutstillawoosh
I can't say anything it's amazing
Mehmet Ali Baştürk vallah haklısın abi

Queen, in a universe of their own. Sensational
That giggle was the cutest thing ever
This is the most beautiful version of this song
The voice of God! We miss you, Freddie!
This master of piece makes me happy
This version is a whole other song for me.
37,000 takes and his voice is as fresh as a daisy. Absolute madman.
I think my ears have been blessed whit this wonderful version of an amazing song ❤
This version just feels...... Right. I think I like it better then the original.
One of the best things that I've heard from Queen in the last few years! Wonderful!
Oh my god...this is pure gold !!!
Geovane Dessio Junior indeed
One Word: mindblowing.🤯 So damn good.

40 years old and still growing strong. Queen and Freddie truly are champions of the world forever
This Is Legendary
What a lucky to listen a recording version !
it s really great to listen it and more important to hear Freddie speaking 🤪😍🥰💝
I love what they're doing with this album! Anoyone else notice the 4 choruses?
Sirs, you are the CHAMPIONS of the world!
That last bit, "it has good feel. That's the way it should be." It blows my mind. So nonchalant at how perfect this track sounds.
Queen is the champions
Freddie Your the God of Music
Jeez no. He's the music of Gods.
Seriously. I don't know how human beings can compose this. Awsome!
Of course. Freddie is divine.
just his voice is made in heaven ;
Legendary voice
40 years on. And sounds so fresh and new . Queen are still the Champions.
Absolutely brilliant, magnificent, marvellous, and fantastic.
Beyond words.
Miss you, Freddie
Damn... that was sublime! They should have released this version as the album version, and the other one as the single version.
Freddie el mejor cantante que conozco. desde Peru saludoss.
Best musical gift the world have ever got.
absolute perfection 👌👍👏
4:30 Freddie: That was a lovely feel, that's exactly how it should be... can't agree more...
Freddy had the best voice ever!!!
I’m going to flat to say it: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!
Thank God this version is on Spotify!
