No-One But You
7" vinyl, UK
No-One But You CD single
Released
in 1997 as a tribute to Freddie from the remaining
members of Queen. Originally intended for Brian's
solo project, but turned into the last time all
three remaining members of Queen would record
together in a studio. Nice ballad and puts the
Queen catalogue to a nice end.

Cool Cat (Original
Version with David Bowie) 3:48
Written by John Deacon/Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Hot Space Test Pressing
Very similar to the album release, but featuring
Bowie doing some backing vocals. Bowie's vocals actually
add a weird element to the track. Definitely worth finding,
although the current bootleg copies are not the best.
Hopefully we'll see this on Queen Anthologies.

Under Pressure (Greatest Hits 2 Edit) 3:55
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen

Appears on: Greatest
Hits II, UK David Bowie: The Singles
A pointless edit for UK's Greatest Hits II. The
only difference is the end lyrics "this is our
last dance..." is only repeated once, as opposed
to the normal two times.

Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen

Appears on: US
Classic Queen, US David Bowie: The Singles
Again,almost exactly like the album version. The
bass lines seem to be a bit more prominent and the sound
is a little less muddy. Freddie singing "that's
okay!" has been removed right before Bowie sings
"it's the terror of knowing..." A pointless
and useless remix.
Under Pressure (Karaoke Version)

A nice instrumental version which shows there's
much more to this song than people may think. Track
ends short of the album version by removing the finger
snapping at the end. There is no click track to this
karaoke version.

Under Pressure 12" vinyl promo, Queen
+ David Bowie/Elton John CD promo
A really good remix to promote the Greatest Hits
3 release. Features brand new lyrics to open the song
from both Bowie and Freddie. The mix is bass heavy and
features some neat guitar and vocal effects. This is
more of a rock mix and isn't as dance oriented as the
Hollywood mixes. A very nice remix that adds something
new. Check this out just for the added lyrics at the
beginning.
Under Pressure

This mix is exactly the same as the regular Rah
Mix, except that it's missing the 15 seconds of extra
vocals from Bowie and Freddie at the beginning. It's
a shame that one of the most interesting parts of the
song was edited.

A nice remix that stays true to the original song.
The bass line is much more prominent. The song opens
with Bowie's backing humming edited in with Freddie's
a capella opening. A few effects are added here and
there which adds a bit to the song. Not a bad mix at
all.

Appears on: UK Under
Pressure Rah Mix CD Single
Recorded live at Knebworth Stadium. This live mix
from Queen's last concert starts with Freddie doing
his vocals exercises with the crowd and goes right into
the live version of Under Pressure from that night's
concert. Great to have just because this is the band's
last performance of the song.

This is Brian and Roger with the UK boy band 5ive. The

The
Call
Written by Brian May
Performers:
Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: Unreleased
(Has appeared on UK Radio)
This sounds very similar to Brian's solo work. Brian
is more or less talking as opposed to singing. Chorus
is a repeating of 4-6-6-6-4. Guitar work is very good,
but not good enough to make this a track to listen to
over and over. Kind of disappointing.
The Call (Live at the 46664 Concert)
Written by Brian May
Performers:
Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: 46664

Similar to the studio version. Brian actually sings
a bit of it here.
Amandla 4:39
Written by Dave Stewart and Brian May
Performers:
Anastacia, Dave Stewart, Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: 46664 website downloadable track
Doesn't sound like there is much Queen influence
on this one. Great, soulful vocals by Anastacia and a
nice chorus. The middle portion of the song has a prayer
from Mr. Africa, which takes away from the song quite
a bit. If you listen closely, you'll even hear some Red
Special.

Written by Dave Stewart and Brian May
Performers:
Anastacia, Dave Stewart, Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor),
Bono, The Edge
Appears on: 46664
The Nelson Mandela Concerts Part 3 - Amandla
Remains very faithful to the studio version and is
a bit more uptempo. Bono's vocals add a bit to this one
as well and are well suited to the song.
Invincible Hope 4:42
Written by Roger Taylor
Performers:
Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: 46664 website downloadable
track
A very Roger sounding track. Has backing vocals from
session musicians, which takes away from the song a bit.
Roger's vocals are spot on and compliment the song very
well. Brian's Red Special can be heard throughout. The
backing beat does sound somewhat simliar to Another One
Bites The Dust however. Recommended.
Invincible Hope (One Year On
Remix) 4:14
Written by Roger Taylor
Performers:
Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor)
Appears on: iTunes
exclusive 46664 - One Year On EP
A very good remix of the original track. You'll have
to listen closely or you may not hear it. The procussion
is more snappy, more phased synthesizer has been added,
and the vocals have been rearranged slightly with added
echo and effects. The guitar parts are much more prominent
and sound better. The ending has also been reworked featuring
more of the chorus. The only negative is that Roger's
"Hold on to your life.." lyric has been removed.

overdub to replace lyrics of the original performance.
The original performance had the lyric "magic potions

Not a bad little medley. The opera part of Bohemian Rhapsody
sounds interesting in this "Africanized" version.
Zucchero does a passable job with I Want It All. Thandiswa
Mazwai apparently forgets everything about I Want To Break
Free, and Roger rounds out the medley by performing Radio
Ga Ga.

Strangely enough this live version from the 46664 concert
did not appear on the 46664 CD releases, but did appear
on the DVD. A proper CD single release happened
later in 2004. This is an excellent live track and is
highly recommended. I'm usually not a big fan of Zucchero,
but this is actually very good. |

From the 2001 film, A Knight's Tale. This is a completely
new recording featuring Brian on guitar/backing
vocals, Roger on drums/backing vocals, and Robbie
Williams on lead vocals. The track starts with a
neat spacy intro. Robbie's vocals seem kind of harsh
the first few listens, but his voice kind of grows
on you. Features an awesome new guitar solo by Brian.

With a running time the same as the regular mix,

The regular mix fades out at the end, where this
one ends without the fade. I'm not sure if this
was ever released as a single.

Much more listenable
than the much longer versions. Pretty much repeating
techno beats, with Queen singing the Flash chrous,
and some samples from the movie. Some other samples
from the original version are included with added
effects to the vocals. If you must listen to one
version of this mix, this would be it.

Ugh. I'm surprised this even got released,
but this remix was supposedly popular in Germany.
The first 50 seconds are a beat loop that kills
any anticipation to hear the song. Features the
typcal dance mix backbeat, Queen singing the chorus
parts, Ming's sample from the movie, and a lot of
electronic looping. It even manages to take out
the best part of the song - Freddie's "just
a man..." vocal solo. Pure crap.

Wow, they were able to turn the 6 1/2 minute
Vanguard piece of crap into 7 1/2 minutes of worse

dance backbeat.

At least this one sounds a bit different.

who cares?

Again, more dance beat goodness (or should

The best of the Wyclef Jean mixes by far. The
backing track of the original song has been maintained
more, with the bass riff being looped. The track
starts with a vocal intro by Wyclef pondering if
he can be a black rockstar. All of Wyclef's and
Freddie's parts from the LP version have been maintained.
I recommend this one over the LP version, just because
more of the original song is maintained. Some of
Brian's guitars even come through now and again.
