Written by Brian May, Remixed by Trent Reznor
Appears on: Withdrawn Hollywood Records Promo CD

Another Reznor mix. This is definitely worth finding on the net. Has a much more methodical and instrumental sound. Just as great as Reznor's Stone Cold Crazy remix.

Nice instrumental version, however an incomplete one. The sounds just like the single version but without Freddie's lead vocals and some missing guitar work at the beginning. This also features no click track.

Somebody To Love (Hollywood Records 1991 Remix) 5:00
Written by Freddie Mercury, Remixed by Randy Badazz
Appears on: A Day At The Races Hollywood Remaster (1991)

Very similar to the album mix. Lead vocals, keyboards, and backing vocals are phased at different parts of the song. Some added percussion is thrown in here and there. Nothing really special and actually takes away from the song's gospel feel.

Somebody To Love (Karaoke Version) 4:48
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Greatest Karaoke Hits

Another incomplete instrumental version. Track fades out early at the end. Starts with a click track.

Nice, tight edit of the track. Some of the middle has been removed to lower the running time.

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) (Single Version) 4:50

Same as the album version, just without the album outro part. Some of the outro can be detected as the single version fades to silence at the end.

Again, just like the album and single version, just fading out at a different point in the song. More of the outro is included here as opposed to the single version.

Written by Brian May

A new mix of the album version by Brian May. Astonishingly clear with many background elements brought to the front. It is very neat to compare this to the original. Guaranteed you'll hear new things that you didn't before. Highly recommended.
