OH! I would agree - I'm quite certain there are multiple takes in the vaults. Whether or not they are patched together - quite probable. I would LOVE to get to just play stuff from the Queen vault! What they must have on those studio recordings and the concert recordings! Preachin' to the glam rock choir honey! I mean a ton has leaked as demos and alternate takes and there is knowledge of much more. What I wouldn't give for a week just playing on the vault...

There has been only one take that has been released...although it has been released 3 times. It was on the Mr. Bad Guy Album, it was reused for the Made In Heaven album and a vocal/piano version which was released on the Freddie Box Set (and again on the 2011 Deluxe Made In Heaven Bonus EP). This was done to just show exactly what Queen used from the MBG track. That's why it's such barebones piano as Freddie filled it out with other keyboards, etc. Yes, there is one vocal track used for all of the releases -- even that disco extended release. But I do not think that was from one "take". I believe they have multiple takes -- all from the same recording session. I will try to find that interview. (My only point was that they probably have alternate vocals by Freddie in the "vault".) OH! I would agree - I'm quite certain there are multiple takes in the vaults.

Yup. My understanding is there is actually only one recording of Freddie singing it in the studio. The variations come from post production. Based on the info from Mack (the producer), there are multiple vocal recordings of this song from the Mr. Bad Guy recording sessions. It sounds like this is all the same vocal track but many of Freddie's recording takes are hard for me to distinguish -- and some radically different. I do not know if anyone every has specifically talked about what they used for the Queen rock version vs. the original. All the disco remixes were from the same vocal recording used in the 1985 MBG recording. Talon may know because he has much deeper knowledge than me of late Queen.

Also it is interesting to note that in order for Brian to make it sound like the band had recorded it together (that was the intent), he added in a few other clips - from A Kind of Magic and from Freddie's solo track Living On My Own for the jam ending...it worked quite well too!

I have a question, that has probably already been answered! I get that IWBTLY is a big deal for Adam's fans because it is a new song with amazing vocals. But why was it a big deal for the band in Osaka? Have they performed it full band before or not? Ok quick history! I Was Born To Love You - written and recorded for Freddie's solo project Mr. Bad Guy which was released in 1985. As such it was never performed live by Freddie. In 1995 when the band was compiling Made In Heaven, they decided to re-use two vocal tracks from Bad Guy (IWBTLY and Made In Heaven) and rework/rearrange them to Queenify them. In 2004 I Was Born To Love You became a semi-decent size hit in Japan after it was used in a television series/commercial. THUS in 2005 when QPR went to Japan it was performed for the first time ever as the first song of the encore but only as Brian on acoustic guitar and vocals on the first verse and Roger singing the rest (with Brian on harmony chorus backing vocals). So until Korea there had never been an attempt to play the full version. It is big in Asia simply because it was a hit in Asia and not anywhere else: Sorry it's audio only!
