Queen New Album: Long lost recordings from the legendary rock band Queen will finally be heard.

When Freddie Mercury died, it seemed like a lot of the music he'd recorded would remain in the vaults. In a recent Rolling Stone magazine interview, Queen members said Mercury wrote and recorded at a breakneck pace while he fought AIDS.

Legend had it that Michael Jackson jammed with the glitter rockers in the studio. That historic tape will also finally be released. The long anticipated collaboration between Queen and Michael Jackson, "There Must Be More to Life Than This" will also be released.

A previously unfinished Mercury-Queen track "Let Me In Your Heart Again" that was recorded during Queen's "The Works" album sessions and a new stripped-down ballad version of Mercury's first solo hit, his Giorgio Moroder collaboration, "Love Kills" highlight the new Queen album, "Queen Forever," from Hollywood Records hits stores on November 11t, 2014.

Queen guitarist Brian May describes the collection as "things that we have collected together that are representative of our growth rather than the big hits."

The collection was assembled by May and Roger Taylor. The tracks represent a definitive collection of Queen's timeless love songs.

Queen Forever is available as a 20-track single CD and as an extended 36-track, two-CD set, and celebrates the extraordinary musical path of one of the world's greatest rock bands.

Brian May and Roger Taylor hinted that new songs featuring Mercury were being explored earlier this year when Queen announced their North American concert tour with Adam Lambert.

At a press conference May said, "There was a little bit more in the can that we had overlooked for a long time, so we have a few songs which we're working on right now. Freddie sounds as fresh as yesterday."

"We've got some great new tracks that haven't been heard and there's an interesting selection of older stuff," Taylor said at the press conference.

According to Hollywood Records press people, "The Queen and Michael Jackson duet, "There Must Be More to Life Than This," began as a song written by Mercury during sessions for Queen's 1981 album, Hot Space. The band recorded a backing track, but the song was never completed. Mercury visited Michael Jackson at his home studio in Los Angeles where he recorded Jackson singing the song for an unfinished version. Queen revived the track during sessions for 1984's The Works, but again it was not finished."

In 1985, Mercury released his own version of "There Must Be More to Life Than This" on his debut solo album, "Mr. Bad Guy." This new production fuses Queen's original backing track with both Mercury and Jackson's vocals. The song was produced and remixed by William Orbit, who also produces Madonna and Robbie Williams.

Orbit explained in a statement, "I had known Roger for many years, now he was on the phone asking if I would get involved in this musical adventure. When I first played it in my studio I opened a trove of delights provided by the greatest of musicians. Hearing Michael Jackson's vocals was stirring. So vivid, so cool, and poignant, it was like he was in the studio singing live. With Freddie's vocal solo on the mixing desk, my appreciation for his gift was taken to an even higher level. 

"The musicianship of all four members of Queen is phenomenal. Roger, an extraordinarily multi-talented man I've always admired; John Deacon's original bass part with its lyrical fluidity that made it easy for me to know where to put the odd reinforcement. Freddie's original piano carried most of the song's musical DNA. Brian, one take for the solo, a blur of fingers, and the spirits of MJ and FM fully present, in the moment, sending shivers down the spine."

Another rarity on Queen Forever is Brian May's "Let Me In Your Heart Again" which was also first during the sessions for "The Works" album which was recorded live in the studio.  Freddie sang it 30 years ago.

"Love Kills," another rarity, was composed by Freddie Mercury and famed German producer/songwriter Giorgio Moroder for the soundtrack to Moroder's newly restored and tinted version of Fritz Lang's 1927 classic silent movie Metropolis in 1984.
