Not all of these can be considered separate records, and certainly they were collected together on the same CD as much as possible for the Origin Of Muse boxset, which is where I got them, but they are all kinda separate things so I’ve separated them as such). What’s interesting to me is how few songs from the 15 earliest demos wound up on the final debut album. There’s just three: Cave, Sober, and Overdue, and I would consider two of those to be Showbiz’s weaker cuts. A super early version of Plug In Baby, without the iconic guitar riff, also appears right from the start, but of course that song wouldn’t be finished until Origin Of Symmetry. Compare that to Queen, whose first five demo songs all made the cut for their debut album, and one of them didn’t even need to be re-recorded.

Front cover of the album sleeve

 

Hadn't listened to the restored/expanded 17 track (as originally intended prior to release in 1983) version of this in a couple of years.

A cup of tea and a journey..!

This has largely been replaced by the "songtrack," for me.

Same here.

 

I've really come to love the second half / instrumental portion of "Yellow Submarine".

 

I rarely reach for the "Yellow Submarine Songtrack".

 

Perhaps I'm overdue for a spin?

Queen 2 is such a monster of an album!  My favorite from them and in my top 30 of all time
