Interesting Facts: The Deeper Story Behind Queen's Hidden Tracks

This rare Queen Deep Cuts 2 CD compilation was released in 2011 alongside a remastered series of Queen's studio albums. The concept of the "Deep Cuts" series was to highlight album tracks—often fan favorites—that were never released as singles, offering a fresh perspective on the band’s versatility. The track "Mustapha," a unique opera-rock piece, features a memorable opening vocal from Freddie Mercury in a mix of English and invented Arabic/Persian syllables. "Sheer Heart Attack" is a high-energy punk-influenced track, primarily written and performed by Roger Taylor. Notably, "Sleeping on the Sidewalk" is one of the few Queen tracks where Brian May handles the lead vocals, adding a bluesy, casual tone that contrasts with the band's usual polished sound, making this CD a true collector's item for those who buy Queen music online.
