Queen just released previously unheard versions of “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions” to mark the 40th anniversary of their seminal album “News Of The World”.
These new versions will be featured in the “Raw Sessions” disc of the upcoming 40th Anniversary re-issue of “News Of The World”, which is due out on November 17th. The tracks feature never-before-heard lead vocals, along with new lead guitar parts which were changed during the recording of the album.
On “We Will Rock You”, Brian May is heard deploying a markedly different guitar solo, while “We Are The Champions” ends with a fade-out, as opposed to its more recognisable abrupt end
