Note: it's likely that c and d do not exist, though it's probable that Roger recorded demos of these songs during solo recording sessions, considering he plays almost all the instruments on both songs on News Of The World. Similarly, a Queen version of b could exist, though no evidence exists to confirm this. A Queen version of a has also been reported to have been recorded, but this seems less likely, considering it's not an original composition.

Note: all four songs were recorded completely fresh, though the footstomp/handclap backing track of d was used. A reading of Herman Hesse's Siddhartha was inadvertently kept in between the slow and fast versions of d, though further research by fans has indicated the text wasn't written by Hesse nor does it appear in the book. e was edited for release in 2002, and remains the only release of any song from this session.
