This remix doesn't waste any time. It's short and compact. There's nothing new or added, just a rebuilding from the ground up, making the song thicker all around and straight to the point.

Where the Single Remix compresses the song into a no-nonsense mix, this version rebuilds the song differently, taking time to layer each element one at a time. Both are excellent, with one fast-acting, and the other long-lasting. Use as directed: Loudly!

There isn't much difference here from the album version, except that the lead up to the first chorus is cut, which is pretty harsh. There's also some instrumental cut from the middle. Really, for the sake of trimming thirty seconds, the result is not great.

This track follows the format of most Extended Versions of the period, drawing out the instrumental sections without deviating from the original. Don't expect much new here, but it's a stand-up effort and superior in all ways to the Single Version.

A cover of the Jimi Hendrix song and a pretty good effort, but nothing is going to top the original. It's still well worth having and it's only available on the CD version of the album.

This non-album b-side is a good little rocker, which doesn't try to do too much. Some of the lyrics are reminiscent of the end of "Stealin'" (the Queen non-album track). This is surprisingly hard to find, since it's only available on the 7" single.

This version improves on the regular version by adding a two and a half minute moody percussion intro (longer than the actual song), which is pretty excellent. This version seems easier to find because it was on both the 12" and CD singles.

Here is The Cross performing Roger's solo track from his Strange Frontier album. It has a lighter feel compared to the original and sounds like they were having fun. This exact track reappeared again as a b-side for "New Dark Ages" of the next album, but slightly edited (Roger's intro is removed).

An unreleased Cross track by Clayton Moss recorded at The Jams Studios sessions. The track has acoustic guitar throughout and has an almost country/bluesy sound to it. Recommended if you can find it.
