Jackson Mercurys Secret Tracks Message Board and Comments

They have never been officially released. Freddie & Michael's version of State of Shock and There Must Be More to Life Than This are widely available though.

Not to insult Brian May or anything, he is one of my favorite guitarists. But Mercury and Jackson worked on three tracks, two of which have been released a number of years ago. The tracks names are "there must be more to life then this" and "State of shock" which I believe Jackson later recorded with Mick Jaggar. Reasons sited for the tracks not being completed have been stated that the two singers were never in one country together long enough to do so. It is possible to find online two demos of Mercury singing "more to life then this" straight through with piano and violins and drums. There is also a very rough version with Jackson on lead vocal with Mercury playing piano and being heard giving instructions a few times in the background.
