Not a bad edit of the proper version. Some instrumental parts have been edited out, but the edit is effective.

I'm Going Slightly Mad (Mad Mix) 4:37

Written by Queen
Appears on: UK 2011 Innuendo Deluxe CD

Written by Freddie, but later credited to Queen, I'm Going Slightly Mad is a bit of a departure from other songs in the Queen catalog. The "Mad Mix", was found from a 1990 stereo master tape. As odd as the album version is, this mix is even stranger. Featuring more sound effects and odd bits, this would be right at home as a Brian Wilson composition. Not as good as the album version, but still interesting.

This is a very short version of I'm Going Slightly Mad with some different instrumental parts and different vocals/lyrics from Freddie. It was recorded as a message for a Queen convention.

From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. An instrumental edit of the first 2:41 of the album version. The ending fades on a phased note with some very faint mechanical game sound effects in the background.

Just like the album version, just with the guitar note edited out at the end.

This is not one of the more seamless edits. The first edit appears 20 seconds into the track, cutting some instrumental bits. Throughout the rest of the song there are other various small instrumental bits taken out, including a very noticeable one near the end. Stick to the album version.

Headlong (Video Version) 4:43

The audio to the video version of Headlong is the same as the album version, except there is some additional guitar in the mix, which lengthens the track slightly. The extra guitar is at about 1 minute into the track.

Headlong (Canadian CHR Edit - No Guitar) 3:20
Written by Queen
Appears on: Warner Music Canada promo CD

A rare edit, based on the Vinyl Edit mix, but more severe than even the US Radio Edit. This version removes almost all of the instrumental sections and all of the guitar solo. This was apparently meant for "light rock" radio stations in Canada.

Headlong (Embryo with Guide Vocal) 4:44
Written by Queen
Appears on: UK 2011 Innuendo Deluxe CD

Headlong started off as a solo track for Brian's upcoming Back To The Light project. However whenever he heard Freddie sing it, Headlong was destined to be a Queen track. This early version of the song is instrumentally stripped down a bit, but still very similar to the final version. Additionally, Brian provides lead vocals, giving some idea to what a solo version may have sounded like.

Headlong (Demo) 3:03
Written by Queen
Appears on: Unreleased

An early demo version featuring Freddie on lead vocals and Brian on backing vocals. The percussion sounds like it was provided by a Korg Synthesizer (programmed on an Apple Mac II), and it sounds as though John's bass is also present. Freddie's vocals are very similar to the final version. Brian's guide vocals can be slightly heard in the background. An interesting working version of the track.

This track premiered at the 16th International Fan Club Convention in Prestatyn. This was recorded in Allerton Hill Studios, mid-1990 with a drum machine and Brian May's original bass and guide vocal (no Freddie, nor choruses).

This remix is similar in style to the others done by Brian Malouf. It features song extra keyboards in the intro and throughout the track. Some of Brian's guitars may have possibly been edited out or at least turned down. Some phasing effects are done on Freddie's solo vocal bit. Another good remix by Malouf.

I Can't Live With You (1997 Rocks Retake) 4:47
Written by Queen
Appears on: Queen Rocks
, UK 2011 Innuendo Deluxe CD
If you like the original, you'll definitely love this heavier version of the song. This Rocks Retake begins with Freddie looped singing "I Can't Live Without You." It has much heavier guitars and real drums (as opposed to programmed) throughout the entire track. If you thought the album version was too soft, this one is for you. It also has a big outro instead of a fadeout, similar to how a live version could have been.

From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. A very interesting instrumental remix of the album version, with backing vocals retained. The drums and possibly the keyboards have been slightly remixed. Sounds very interesting, but a lot lighter than the album version.

Only four of the six songs edited for the LP were listed on the sleeve. This version of the song is just faded out early. A better solution at the time might have been to cut one song completely from the record version of the album.

A simple demo that is really the full version of the promo found on the Hints Of Innuendo promo tape. Instrumentation is similar to what is heard on the final album. Freddie's vocals are multitracked and vocals/lyrics are very incomplete in places. Very similar to the style of other Freddie demos found on the Freddie Mercury Collection boxset.

A harder track featuring lots of guitar. Lyrics are still fairly simplistic since this one is a demo. Freddie's infamous "na na na na" parts are there for future lyrics. Would have been a nice song to accompany The Hitman. Freddie sings all vocals. Mostly instrumental though. Brian probably wrote this one.

Self Made Man

Self Made Man 4:38

A really neat demo featuring both Brian and Freddie on vocals. Mostly synthesizer, bass, and drums with a guitar solo from Brian. Brian sings most of the lead vocals and then Freddie comes in with his bit (kind of like the setup on Sail Away Sweet Sister). Track has a very long instrumental outro. I would assume that this one was written by Brian and Freddie.


My Secret Fantasy

This track is heavy on synthesizer keyboards. Freddie's vocals are very early and the lyrics are simplistic. Vocals are a tad rough, probably just to be used as a guide vocal. Sounds like a John Deacon track with some Freddie input. Sounds slightly like their work from the A Kind of Magic album.
