Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon (Preliminary Mix) 1:07
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: US
A Night At The Opera Hollywood Records promo cassette (Withdrawn)
This preliminary mix appears on a Hollywood Records promo cassette possibly
remastered by Eddy Schreyer. For whatever reason the entire remaster was
withdrawn and instead Hollywood Records went with a remaster done by Stephen
Marcussen at Precision Mastering. This version is the same as the album
version, except it omits the line "There he goes again" at 0:44.
I'm In Love

Appears on: A Night At The Opera, Track 3
I'm In Love With My Car (Single Version)
3:12
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: UK
Bohemian Rhapsody 7" vinyl, Japan
Bohemian Rhapsody 3" CD single, US
Greatest Hits: We Will Rock You Edition, UK
The Singles Collection Volume 1
The beginning of the track starts with engine
revving sound effects (which ends the album version). The single version
ends with a fade out (without the guitar bit). A really neat mix.
I'm In Love With My Car (Rocks
Mix) 3:11
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Queen
Rocks
The same as the album mix with the added engine sound effects from the
single version added at the beginning. Basically a mix between the single
and album versions.
I'm In Love With My Car (Hollywood
Records 1991 Remix) 3:28
Written by Roger Taylor, Remixed by Mike Shipley
Appears on: A
Night at the Opera Hollywood Remaster (1991), US
Hollywood Records Rocks Promo CD set
Starts with a vocal phased intro of band singing "I'm in love with
my car" with engine sound effects and goes into the normal drum/piano
intro. Phased chorus is used again at the end with the guitar/engine outro.
A pretty good remix.
I'm In Love With My Car (Guitar & Vocal Mix 2011) 3:20
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: UK/US
2011 A Night At The Opera Deluxe CD
A new mix created from the original multitrack of I'm In Love With My
Car focuses on just the guitars and Roger's vocals. The guitars are heard
clearly on their own for the first time, showing how great the performance
is. Roger's vocals of course are fantastic and are well suited to the
song. An interesting alternative to the album version.
I'm In Love With My Car (Live at the Hammersmith
Odeon, 1979) - Absolute Greatest Streaming Video Version 2:02
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: UK 2009 Absolute Greatest Streaming Video
Appearing only as a bonus steaming video to 2009's Absolute Greatest release,
this live performance is similar in structure to the one that appears
on Live Killers.

You're My Best Friend (Hollywood
Records 1991 Remix) 2:52
Written by John Deacon, Remixed by Matt Wallace
Appears on: A
Night at the Opera Hollywood Remaster (1991), US
Hollywood Records Rocks Promo CD set
Hard to notice a difference between this version and the album mix. The
most notable difference is Freddie's lead vocal volume is more noticeable
(example at 1:34). The keyboard sound seems to be a bit different as well.
Nothing really special about this remix.
You're My Best Friend (Karaoke Version) 2:51
Written by John Deacon
Appears on: Greatest
Karaoke Hits
A pure uncut instrumental of the album track. No click track at the beginning
of the song.
You're My Best Friend (Backing Track Mix 2011)
2:58
Written by John Deacon
Appears on: UK/US
2011 A Night At The Opera Deluxe CD
The Backing Track Mix is a true instrumental mix of You're My Best Friend,
created from the original multitrack. Freddie's lead vocals are gone so
that the instrumental backing track can be clearly heard. A little bit
of studio banter starts and ends the track.
'39 (Album
Version) 3:30
Written by Brian May
Appears on: A Night At The Opera, Track 5
'39 (Classic Albums Version) 2:50
Written by Brian May
Appears on: US/UK
Classic Albums: The Making Of A Night At The Opera DVD
This 2005 recording features just Brian
May performing '39 on acoustic guitar and lead vocals. A nice version
that is similar to the Queen + Paul Rodgers 2005/2006 live performances.
'39 (Live At Earl's Court, 1977) 3:47
Written by Brian May
Appears on: UK/US
2011 A Night At The Opera Deluxe CD
An absolutely fantastic live version of
'39 from Queen's second night at Earl's Court in June, 1977. Of course
the remastering helps this live performance shine. This fantastic performance
is preferred to the one that appears on 1979's Live Killers. Unlike the
studio version, Freddie sings lead vocals. Roger and Brian's backing vocals
are spot-on to the album version as well. Highly Recommended.

Sweet Lady (Live In Hyde Park, 1976) 4:07
Written by Brian May
Appears on: US/UK
Classic Albums: The Making Of A Night At The Opera DVD
A nice surpise bonus on the Classic Albums
documentary on the making of A Night At The Opera is the live performance
of Sweet Lady from Hyde Park. This track isn't available as a live performance
on any other official Queen release. A good live performance from the
legendary concert.
Sweet Lady (The eYe Version)
1:03
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Queen:
The eYe
From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The
eYe. This version is the first minute of the album version, stopping suddenly
with an echo effect.

The Prophet's Song (DVD-Audio Version) 8:31
Written by Brian May
Appears on: A
Night At The Opera DVD Audio
A slightly extended version for DVD-A only.
The extra time is at the beginning with a longer "wind intro."
Doesn't really add a whole lot to the song, but slightly adds to the atmosphere.

Love
Of My Life (Live from Rio, 1985)
5:25
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: US
George Michael + Queen Somebody To Love cassette single
A
very nice live version from the 1985 Rock In Rio concert. The track starts
with some audience banter from Brian. Freddie and the crowd do a nice
job of switching back and forth between verses.
Love Of My Life (Live from Rio, 1985) - Absolute
Greatest Streaming Video Version 4:52
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: UK 2009 Absolute Greatest Streaming Video
This version cuts off a good portion of Brian introducing the song to
the crowd and cuts off much of the crowd noise at the end. The version
that appears on the US George Michael + Queen cassette is preferred.
Love Of My Life (The eYe
Version) 0:04
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Queen: The eYe
From
the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. At only 4 seconds, this
is just a brief snippet of the harp intro to the album version. This is
used as a sound effect in the game.
Love Of My Life (Classic Albums
Duet Mix) 3:54
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: US/UK
Classic Albums: The Making Of A Night At The Opera DVD
A fun bonus on the Classic Albums documentary
on the making of A Night At The Opera is the duet mix of Love Of My Life.
The audio/video of the track mixes Brian May performing the song acoustically
in 2005 with Freddie's classic performance from Wembley Stadium in 1986.

Bohemian Rhapsody (Promo Edit) 3:30
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: France
Bohemian Rhapsody 7" promo vinyl
This is presumably the only officially
released edit version of Bohemian Rhapsody ever released. This 1978 French
promo vinyl is very hard to find anywhere. The track is rumored to be 3:30
in length with the middle opera section edited out (among other bits). Beware
of fake edits of this track appearing on file sharing programs and on various
websites. Thus far a real copy has yet to be leaked or shared on the internet.
Bohemian Rhapsody
(UK 3" CD Version) 6:00
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: UK
Bohemian Rhapsody 3" CD
This version starts with the swirling notes from the end
of "Good Company." This is most likely a remastering error.
Bohemian Rhapsody (Karaoke Version) 5:59
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Greatest
Karaoke Hits
This is a highly recommended instrumental version that is quite interesting
on it's own without the vocals. It's quite fascinating to hear just the
guitar, bass, and drums at the heart of the song without vocals. Completely
uncut except for a very slight early fade at the end. Opens with a karaoke
click track.
Bohemian Rhapsody
(2004 Karaoke Version) 5:55
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: 2004
Japan Greatest Karaoke Hits, Greatest

This version is the same as the original karaoke version, except that
this starts with Freddie counting in, instead of the click track.
Bohemian Rhapsody
(Operatic Section A Cappella Mix 2011) 1:04
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: UK/US
2011 A Night At The Opera Deluxe CD
Created from the original multitrack, this A Capella Mix is the entire
operatic section of Bohemian Rhapsody with just vocals. Not recommended
for repeat listening, but is a neat listen just to hear the vocal complexities
of the operatic section.
