Freddie Mercury/Barcelona Rare Unreleased Works

This is a collection of demos and outtakes from the “Barcelona” recording sessions. It includes “La Japonaise (A Cappella Version)”, “The Golden Boy (A Cappella w/Gospel Choir)”, “How Can I Go On (Piano Version)”, “Barcelona (Extended Version)”, and other songs not included in the album. “Guide Me Home” is a hidden gem. Freddie and Montserrat were supposed to sing “Barcelona” at the opening ceremony of the Barcelona Olympics. It was a dream, but listening to it makes my heart warm. The more I listen to it, the more sad I feel, but the dynamic melody reminds me of his genius. 01. Barcelona (Early Version / Freddie’s Demo Vocal) 02.
