Never Before Heard Queen Song To Be Unveiled Monday
It's called "Not For Sale (Polar Bear)" and it was deemed not quite good enough for the band's second album, 1974's Queen II. But guitarist Brian May is planning to perform it in public for the very first time on a UK special and insists, though there have been bootleg samples, no one has ever heard it done the way the group envisioned it.
Will it get to Canadian radio stations? That remains to be seen, but I would expect it will at least turn up somewhere on YouTube. So hopefully, we'll get to at least sample the song.

I’m a bit mixed on this one, whereas I enjoyed hearing a Queen song that hadn’t been released, I can see why it was left off Queen II. It’s very acoustic musically and a bit on the trippy side, but I didn’t hate it, just wouldn’t put it in high rotation! Thanks Radiowiz and RadioActive for the posts! Would like to hear what others here think about it.

When a song that's ready is not released by a band, there's usually a reason. It suggests they didn't have much confidence in it or thought their other stuff was better - and there was only so much room on a record.
