Queen - Coming Soon (Alternative Vocal Take)

This version of Coming Soon comes from the 2003 DVD/A of The Game, 5.1 mix by Justin Shirley Smith and remastered by Bob Ludwig and was released in 2003 in the USA. The disc featured the original stereo album mix and an all new 96/24 DTS 5.1 surround mix. Unfortunately, the original multi-track tape for Coming Soon had been lost; without the original tapes, a 5.1 channel mix of the album version with the necessary effects would have been impossible. So instead, Brian found recordings from another session to replace the missing tape. The infamous missing tape was of Roger’s backing vocal at the beginning of the track. This new version of the song is exactly the same as the old album version except for Roger’s opening vocals (which were taken from another take). This is a neat curiosity and quite surprising if you don’t expect it.
