In this deep‑cut dive, we turn our attention to one of Queen’s most intriguing early curiosities: “Mad the Swine.” Recorded during the sessions for the band’s 1973 debut album but left in the vaults for nearly two decades, this track has become a cult favourite among fans who love exploring the band’s formative years.

We unpack the song’s unusual journey — from its original recording and the mixing disagreements that kept it off the album, to its eventual resurrection as a 1991 bonus track. Along the way, we explore its lyrical themes, its place in Queen’s evolving sound, and why it never made the leap to the live stage.

Expect thoughtful analysis, a bit of Queen history, and plenty of appreciation for a track that shows the band experimenting boldly right from the start. Whether you’re a long‑time Queen devotee or discovering this hidden gem for the first time, this episode shines a light on a song that deserves far more attention.

Come back next week for My Fairy King.
