The Call (BBC
Radio Mix) 4:27
Written by Brian May
Performers: Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: Unreleased (Has been broadcast on UK Radio)
Nelson Mandela's 46664 organization was started in 2003 to bring awareness to HIV/AIDS. Multiple artists and musicians provided downloadable studio tracks to help with awareness. Queen, now consisting of just Roger and Brian, provided tracks towards this cause. The Call was written for this purpose and was played at 46664 concert. Ironically, the track was never officially available for download, but it was featured on BBC Radio. The Call sounds very similar to Brian's solo work. Brian is more or less talking as opposed to singing. The chorus is a repeats 4-6-6-6-4. The guitar work is very good, but not good enough to make this a track to listen to over and over. This version can be found to download, but quality is poor since it was ripped from the radio.
The Call (Mix 2) 4:35
Written by Brian May
Performers: Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: Unreleased (Has been broadcast on UK Radio)
Another mix of The Call found it's way to the internet in recent years. The quality of this rip is hugely improved from the BBC Radio Mix. There is also a lyric change at the beginning of the song:
BBC Radio Mix Lyric: "There was a man in the street just the other day, with a tear and a hand stretched out looking my way".
Mix 2 Lyric: "There was a man in the street just the other day, with a thin long hand stretched out looking my way".
Amandla 4:39
Written by Dave Stewart and Brian May
Performers: Anastacia, Dave Stewart, Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: 46664 website downloadable track
Amandla is a studio track featuring Anastacia, Dave Stewart (from the Eurythmics), and Queen (Brian and Roger). The track doesn't sound like there is much Queen influence present. The vocals by Anastacia are great and sound very soulful. The middle portion of the song has a prayer from Mr. Africa, which takes away from the song quite a bit. If you listen closely, you'll even hear some Red Special.
Invincible Hope 4:42
Written by Roger Taylor
Performers: Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: 46664 website downloadable track
Roger Taylor contributed two songs to the 46664 campaign. Naturally, Invincible Hope is a very Roger sounding track. Roger's vocals are spot on and compliment the song very well. The backing bass track is basic and almost sounds like Another One Bites The Dust. Voice clips from Nelson Mandela appear throughout the song. The backing vocals are provided from session musicians, which takes away from the song a bit. Brian's Red Special can be heard throughout.
Invincible Hope (One Year On Remix) 4:14
Written by Roger Taylor
Performers: Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: iTunes exclusive 46664 - One Year On EP
One year after the 46664 concert, a special edition EP was released. The One Year On Remix is a very good remix of the original track. The percussion is snappier, more synthesizer has been added, and the vocals have been rearranged slightly with added echo and effects. The guitar parts are much more prominent and sound better. The ending has also been reworked featuring more of the chorus. The only negative is that Roger's "Hold on to your life.." lyric has been removed.
