Notes



De Lane Lea Studios, London

studio demo recordings
from silver 'In the Beginning'


Sounds like this comes from an acetate. There has been some confusion over 'The Night Comes Down' on this demo, with some people claiming that it ended up on 'Queen'. While the same basic take is indeed found on Queen's first LP, it is an entirely different mix, particularly as regards the vocals and drums - the version here has never seen official release.

Freddie Mercury: vocals, organ
Brian May: guitar, vocals
Deacon John: bass
Roger Meddows-Taylor: drums, vocals
Produced by Louie Austin
