Brian May wrote, produced, played guitar, and sang backing vocals. John Deacon appears playing bass guitar. This is the exact same as I Dream Of Christmas, except Anita sings the song as a child and there are some lyrical changes. Party sound effects are throughout the song and the chorus is sung by a party group.

Nothin' But Blue (Guitar Version) a.k.a. Somewhere In Time 3:53
Written by May/Powell
Appears on: Back To The Light 7" vinyl, UK Back To The Light CD single 2, Back To The Light 3-Track promo CD, The Drums Are Back album by Cozy Powell
A proper instrumental version of the album track with no vocals. This version is longer than the album version by 20 seconds; featuring some additional guitar work from Brian. There's a lot of great guitar work here from Brian that might be otherwise missed on the standard version with vocals. John Deacon provides bass guitar.

Too Young 5:10
Written by Bernie Taupin/Elton John
Appears on: Ice On Fire
An excellent track from Elton John's 1985 album, Ice On Fire, which is an often overlooked album. Roger Taylor provides drums, while fellow Queen member John Deacon plays bass guitar. The song has a slow tempo and is classic Elton John. Highly recommended.

Angeline 3:24
Written by Bernie Taupin/Elton John
Appears on: Leather Jackets
Both Roger Taylor and John Deacon appeared on this track, which appears on Elton's 1986 album, "Leather Jackets." Leather Jackets is widely considered to be a weaker album than his previous 80's releases. This track is nothing special in particular, especially compared to the rest of Elton's catalogue. Angeline is basically a light-hearted throwback 60's style dance rocker.

Picking Up Sounds 5:00
Written by Man Friday/John Deacon/Robert Ahwai
Appears on: UK Picking Up Sounds 7" vinyl, UK Picking Up Sounds 12" vinyl
From 1983, definitely not something you would expect to be associated with the Queen catalogue. John co-wrote, played bass, and co-produced this track. The song is actually a rap song with some background synthesizers. John's bass is very prominent and drives the song. The sound is similar to early US rap tracks, specifically the Sugar Hill Gang.

Picking Up Sounds (Radio Mix) 4:46
Written by Man Friday/John Deacon/Robert Ahwai
Appears on: UK Picking Up Sounds 7" vinyl, UK Picking Up Sounds 12" vinyl
Somewhat similar to the A-side version, this could be best described as an instrumental mix. The song is slightly edited for time and starts with an airplane flyover sound effect. There are a few samples of television newscasts throughout the radio mix that are not present on the regular version. The main rapper is not present during most of the song.

Roulette
Written by Deacon/Ahwai
Appears on: Cancel
A 1986 track from Japanese singer Minako Honda. This track is actually a Japanese cover version of The Immortal's track, No Turning Back. John of course co-wrote and possibly played bass on the track. Also of interest, the entire album was produced by Brian May.

It's An Illusion (Album Version) 4:03
Written by Taylor/Parfitt
Appears on: Strange Frontier, Track 9
From Roger Taylor's 1984 album Strange Frontier. The track is written by Roger Taylor and Rick Parfitt of Status Quo fame. John provides bass guitar.

I Cry For You (Love, Hope And Confusion) (Single Remix) 4:08
Written by Taylor/Richards, Remixed by John Deacon
Appears on: UK Strange Frontier 7" vinyl
A nice single remix by fellow Queen member John Deacon (with some added bass playing). At first the track starts off the same, but noticably changes with some different synth sounds, heavy bass (not surprising), and without the vocal intro.

I Cry For You (Love, Hope And Confusion) (Extended Version) 6:23
Written by Taylor/Richards, Remixed by John Deacon & Mack
Appears on: UK Strange Frontier 12" vinyl
Remixed by John Deacon and Queen producer Mack. The final extended version from the Strange Frontier sessions is just as good as the previous two. This features a new intro with some great stereo vocal and sound effects. Highly recommended just because the added parts add so much to the richness of the track. Many consider this to be the best version of the song.

Bushfire 4:26
Written by Steve Gregory
Appears on: Bushfire
From Steve Gregory's 1994 album, Bushfire. John Deacon plays bass on the title track. The album and track are all instrumentals. Steve Gregory should be known to Queen fans as the saxophone player on One Year Of Love. Also of note, Robert Ahwai of The Immortals appears on the album, playing guitar, and photography for the album is done by Veronica Deacon.
