Queen - Polar Bear (Demo - Take 2) [Unreleased Song]

Re-uploaded due to a Copyright Strike which took down the original upload. ---- This is a Queen recording of the Smile track, recorded at some time between 1971 and 1973, almost certainly featuring John Deacon on bass and not Barry Mitchell as some sources suggest. Musically it is similar to the Smile version, but some parts are slightly different. Freddie's vocals are more powerful than Tim Staffell's, and more suited to the track. The lyrics seem more ad-libbed by Freddie, and in places don't make much sense (such as the start of the second verse), but still this performance is much better than the Smile version. It had been rumored for years that a Queen version Polar Bear existed with Freddie on vocals. These claims were denied by Queen Productions. A copy was leaked at about the same time as Silver Salmon. The Queen version is superior to the Smile version in just about every way. The track starts with 38 seconds of studio banter between Roger and the rest of the band, all the while Freddie is trying to start the take. Track starts at 0:39 with Freddie finally saying "Right, take two." There are some minor lyrical differences between the Queen and Smile version as well. It is unknown if further takes were attempted. This version comes from an upgrade of an unknown working tape and now is a lossless source. I have done some de-noise work on this and like the outcome. Thanks to DJGreg for uploading this lossless upgrade to QueenChat! Written by: Tim Staffell or Brian May Produced by: ?

You always try to play this like I've never Freddie: Take two Unknown voice: You play the fucking twelve string Freddie: Take two, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha (Unknown dialogue in the background, probably from Brian) Roger: Alright, we’ll all follow you (Some sort of 'hollering' noise in the background) Unknown (in background): Fucking hell Freddie: Right, take two Unknown: ...Four In a bright shop window sits a polar bear Makes his eyes light up but I don't see him there Among the tinsel he gives everyone a smile See him as you'd see a star Love her from where you are He's not for, not for, not for sale Walk around the world I walks a pretty girl Someone like you've seen or by it's hard to tell Oooh, and when you see her light seem around the lie And see her as you'd see a star Love her from where you are Not for, not for, not for sale And when the lights light up To warn the grasping hand Minor contentment wears a smile Ooohhh-wahh Not for, not for, not for sale Not for sale [Tape Cut]
