Ep. 158 - Queen's "Face It Alone"

Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor, recently presented an archived 1988 recording. It's a song titled "Face It Alone", with late frontman Freddie Mercury singing lead! The track was intentionally recorded during the making of 1989 album The Miracle, but didn't make the cut on any of Queen's future work. In this episode, I'll review The Miracle's tracklist, "Face It Alone"'s music arrangements, and why it's out now.

Theme Song: "Dance Track", composed by Jessica Ann Catena
