A major edit of the album version. The instrumental
section near the end (which starts with the brief bass
solo) is completely cut out. The song goes from the
lyrics "Peace on Earth and end to war..."
right into the closing chorus parts.
The Miracle (Greatest

The same as the album version, just fading out sooner.
The closing lyrics "the time will come, one day
you'll see, when we can all be friends" is repeated
one less time. The edit was made to fit this track onto
the Greatest Hits II CD.

Again, same as the album version, except the closing
lyrics "the time will come, one day you'll see,

The Miracle (Demo) 1:43
Written by Queen
Appears on: Unreleased
A very rough and incomplete version of the track. Features
a different vocal track from Freddie, which is less
polished. The backing track seems to be the same as
the album cut. Brian throws in some different guitar
bits here and there. The lyrics here are not different
from the album version.
The Miracle (David Cohen Mix)

Apparently this was going to be part of a Hollywood
Compilation CD that was never released. The CD was going
to be called Queen: The Basic Bootlegs; to be released
under the Hollywood Basic brand of Hollywood Records.
Release date was to be April 1992. I haven't actually
heard this one, nor do I have any further information
on it.

I Want It All
(UK Album Version) 4:41
Written by Queen
Appears on: The Miracle, Track 4, UK
The Miracle, US
Capitol Records The Miracle
The definitive album version, which differs from the
later 1991 US remaster. The first chorus has no backing
vocals, lead vocals are double tracked, synth is more
prominent, and there is no lead guitar. The first chorus
repeat has backing vocals and lead guitar.
I Want It All
(Hollywood Records Version) 4:33
Written by Queen
Appears on: The
Miracle Hollywood Remaster (1991)
Appearing only on the 1991 Hollywood Records remaster
of The Miracle. At 1:14 into the track, the chorus that
repeats the lyrics "I Want It All" is missing completely.
Additionally, there are added backing vocals in the
track. The first chorus has no backing vocals, lead
vocal has more obvious multitracking, less prominent
synth, more rhythm guitar, and lead guitar. There is
no first chorus repeat. How did this mistake happen?
Quite simply when Hollywood Records was remastering
the album, Queen Productions provided the incorrect
album master tape to Hollywood Records. The I Want It
All mix that appears on the Hollywood release was added
to the album master on March 15, 1989.

A great single mix that improves on the album version.
Features a chorus starting out the song singing "I
Want It All" three times. Some of Brian's guitar
is edited out but it isn't missed all that much. Recommended
over the album version.
I Want It All
(Argentinian Single Version) 4:10
Written by Queen
Appears on: Argeninia I Want It All 7" vinyl
The same as the UK album version except at 2:57 there
is a large edit of the instrumental section that is
painfully obvious. An awful edit that sounds terrible.
I Want It All
(Rocks Mix) 4:30
Written by Queen
Appears on: Queen
Rocks
A great remix that basically combines the album and
single versions. This mix starts out like the single
mix with the chorus vocal and goes into the rest of
the album version. Brian's guitar solo is unedited.
This is the best mix of the song in my opinion.
I Want It All (Karaoke Version)
4:02
Written by Queen
Appears on: Greatest

An instrumental of the single version, which still retains
the beginning chorus vocals. Starts with a click track.
I Want It All
(Demo) 1:25
Written by Queen
Appears on: Unreleased
A short snippit that is very incomplete. Guitars are
slightly different. Freddie's vocals are different,
but the lyrics are unchanged. Fades out partway into
Brian's vocal part (which has different lyrics).
I Want It All
(Instrumental Demo) 3:38
Written by Queen
Appears on: Unreleased
A very long instrumental demo. Sounds very good, but
a little uninteresting without the vocals. Similar to
the final backing track, with some minor changes here
and there. Ends with some parts of Chinese Torture.

Capitol Records The Miracle, The
Miracle Hollywood Remaster (1991)
A fairly major departure from the album version. At
over a minute longer, this version is a very different
mix. The track opens differently with electronic whistling
sound effects. The band member introductions are no
longer there. The backing track
is remixed, with more instrumental sections. The ending
has also been changed with Roger singing the lyrics
"I'm the invisible man." Worth a listen just
to hear the differences, but probably not as good as
the album version.

A really good version that would have made a nice single
remix. The track starts with sound effects that are
in the beginning of the Extended Version up to Roger
singing his invisible man lyric, then it goes right
into the normal album version. Very good indeed.
The Invisible
Man (Demo) 1:24
Written by Queen
Appears on: Unreleased
An early version of the track, with some minor differences
in the backing track. Freddie adds a few lyrics not
on the album version that comes out of nowhere (that
sound great). A nice version, but it definitely makes
you want to hear more.

A very good extended mix that starts out very differently
from the album version. Instead of the multitracked
intro, this version starts out with Freddie simply singing
"Breakthru... Breakthru...." a few times.
There are some neat stereo sound effects going between
the left and right channels. The rest of the backing
track has been remixed as well, with lots of added percussion.
Sounds great and just begs for a 5.1 remix.
Breakthru (The

This certainly is a useless edit. This version loses
the multitracked intro and instead starts at the word
"Now." From that point on, it is the same
as the album version.

Like all of the other Miracle extended versions, this

are some great instrumental parts in here, but it is
a bit too long though.

Just as with the other Miracle demo snippits, this one
is a bit rougher. This one has an early vocal track

simplistic than the album version, but worth a listen.

A very good B-side/CD bonus track. Has the feeling

Leans towards the heavy side and is worth getting.
Lead vocals by Freddie, and a nice instrumental
jam at the end.

A little known edit, probably because no one bothered
to listen for it. The entire track is the same
as the "album version," except for the
last few seconds. The single edit version fades
out slightly earlier and is missing a final guitar
chord. You'll have to turn it up insanely loud
to hear it though.

A very long demo version. Starts with some studio

Freddie provides the only vocals and multitracks

Another great B-side, this time with Roger on vocals.
A typical Roger track that would have fit in very
well with his solo work. Hard hitting drums, and
Roger's electronic-rock sound are throughout the
track.

My Heart (Demo) 3:25
Written by Queen
Appears on: Unreleased
This is one of the newer demos previewed at the
recent Queen conventions. Again, Roger is on lead
vocals. At times the instruments seem to overpower
his vocals, suggesting that this is a guide vocal
from Roger. Instrumentally, the song is basically
the same, except there are what sound like maracas
in the background for the entire song, which works
surprisingly well. Brian's guitar is more present
and heavier. Lyrics for the most part are the
same, with a few missing pieces here and there.
The ending features a piano outro which comes
as a very big surprise. Very neat sounding demo,
just for the fact it sounds different.

Again, another great B-side that was later reworked
into an album cut for the posthumous Made In Heaven
album. This original version is a bit fuller and
heavier. Sounds similar to the Made In Heaven version.
Freddie's vocals have a slight phased/multitracked
sound to them. Ending has some spoken parts by Freddie.

Written by Queen
Appears on: Made

Reworked from the B-side version from 1989 for
the Made In Heaven album. This version features
the keyboard much more prominently and has a lighter
sound from the added synth effects. Freddie's
vocal track is much clearer, louder, and doesn't
seem to be phased or multitracked. It is arguable
whether this version or the original is better.
Regardless, the reworking of this song made it
fit in well with the Made In Heaven album.
