Songs
The box set include a total of 6 new tracks in which 3 are demos.
"Face It Alone"
"Face It Alone" was recorded in 1988 during the sessions of The Miracle album. The track was initially thought to be "unsalvageable" by May and Taylor. However, the song was eventually finished and released as a single on 13 October 2022 in order to promote the box set.[2][3]
"When Love Breaks Up"
Written by Mercury, the track was never finished by the band. Instead they decided to combine the track's intro with Breakthru. The demo version of the track is included in the box set.
"You Know You Belong To Me"
Written by Brian May, the track was recorded in 1988. It features May on acoustic guitar. It was reworked in 2022 and included in the box set.
"Dog With A Bone"
Written by Taylor, the track was recorded in 1988 during the studio sessions of The Miracle album but was not released. A modified version that includes messages from Queen to their fan club was played at the 1988 Queen Fan Club convention.[4] The song was reworked in 2022 and included in the box set.
"Water" & "I Guess We're Falling Out"
Both of these are Brian May compositions. Only the latter was worked on with Freddie Mercury providing vocals. They are both unfinished with their demo versions available in the box set.
