Father To Son (Album Version) 6:12 Written by Brian May Appears on: Queen II, Track 2
White Queen (As It Began) (Album Version) 4:33  Written by Brian May Appears on: Queen II, Track 3 White Queen (As It Began) (German Edit) 4:16 Written by Brian May Appears on: German Queen Compilation vinyl Rare and relatively unknown edit from a 1981 German compilation 12" album. The track was edited down to fit onto vinyl with the track starting at Freddie's vocals. White Queen (As It Began) (EP Version) 4:35 Written by Brian May Appears on: UK Queen's First EP 7" vinyl, Japan Queen's First EP 3" CD single, UK Queen's First EP 3" CD single, UK The Singles Collection Volume 1, US Queen's First EP CD single A standalone version of the song that doesn't include the minor segue from Father To Son. White Queen (As It Began) (BBC Session 4) 4:46 Written by Brian May Appears on: Unreleased From the once thought "lost" BBC Session 4. This is a beautiful version of the song and it is definitely a shame that it is not officially available. Unlike the album take, this version is much more similar to the live versions of the song. It features piano throughout the track, including a 1 min. 20 sec. piano/guitar solo. At one point, this was very rare, but now can be found online and on many bootlegs. White Queen (As It Began) (Live At Hammersmith Odeon, 1975) 5:34 Written by Brian May Appears on: UK/US 2011 Queen II Deluxe CD Recorded live at Hammersmith Odeon on Christmas Eve, 1975. This version is a standout on the Deluxe Queen II reissue. Freddie performs a new piano part and Brian's solo features some of his earliest delay work. The overall sound and remastering is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended. White Queen (As It Began) (Live at the Rainbow Theatre, 1974) - iTunes Video Version 5:10 Written by Brian May Appears on: UK 2011 Queen II Deluxe iTunes Download This live performance of White Queen from Queen's 1974 Rainbow Theatre concert was made available exclusively on iTunes in the UK. The track starts with Freddie introducing the song to the audience. White Queen (As It Began) (Live at the Rainbow Theatre, 1974) - Absolute Greatest Streaming Video Version 5:25 Written by Brian May Appears on: UK 2009 Absolute Greatest Streaming Video This live performance of White Queen from Queen's 1974 Rainbow Theatre concert was made available as a streaming video for the release of Absolute Greatest. The track starts with Freddie introducing the song to the audience. This version minorly differs from the 2011 iTunes video. Freddie says "thank you" before he introduces the song and ends with the crowd's reaction to the performance. The iTunes versions cuts off quicker. White Queen (As It Began) (Rumored home recording, 1969?) Written by Brian May Appears on: Unreleased It is rumored that a home recording exists from Brian. Apparently this song existed in some form during the Smile era, probably known then as As It Began. So far no information has been presented by Brian, Queen, or private collectors as to its existence.

Funny How Love Is (Album Version) 2:50 Written by Freddie Mercury Appears on: Queen II, Track 10 Funny How Love Is (Digital Master Sampler Edit) 2:51 Written by Freddie Mercury Appears on: Digital Master Sampler Great single edit of the album version. Fades in with the last few vocal chords of The March of the Black Queen and segues nicely into the piano chord/percussion opening of Funny How Love Is. The track ends with a fade out. A really good sounding edit that is becoming easier to find among internet traders. Note that the Digital Master Sampler itself is becoming hard to find in good condition due to a manufacturing defect in the disc. Funny How Love Is (Japanese 3" CD Single Version) 2:50 Written by Freddie Mercury Appears on: Japan Seven Seas of Rhye 3" CD single The only true stand-alone mix of the song. Starts with a piano chord and percussion background. The track ends like the Digital Master Sampler version with a fade out. Funny How Love Is (UK 3" CD Single Version a.k.a. UK 1st CD Pressing Version) 3:14 Written by Freddie Mercury Appears on: UK Seven Seas of Rhye 3" CD single, UK Queen II 1st CD Pressing More of an indexing/mastering error as opposed to a unique version, this version of Funny How Love Is starts with the outro from The March Of The Black Queen (starting with "forget your sing a-longs and your lullabies.."). This version first appeared on the UK Queen II CD pressing in 1986, and is more commonly found on the UK 3" Seven Seas Of Rhye 3" CD single. Funny How Love Is (Takes 3-5) 6:30 Written by Freddie Mercury Appears on: Unreleased This track premiered at the 20th International Fan Club Convention in Prestatyn. These takes are attempts at a backing track (bass, drums, piano, acoustic guitar). Freddie Mercury counts-in every time.
Seven Seas Of Rhye (Album Version) 2:48 Written by Freddie Mercury Appears on: Queen II, Track 11 Seven Seas Of Rhye (Alternate Mix) Written by Freddie Mercury Appears on: UK Seven Seas of Rhye 7" vinyl promo One of the rarest Queen promos ever released. This promo release features an alternate mix of Seven Seas of Rhye with a different (and incorrect) backing track. The promos were quickly recalled and destroyed; only 5 or so are now rumored to exist. Seven Seas Of Rhye (Hollywood Records 1991 Remix) 6:35 Written by Freddie Mercury, Remixed by Freddy Bastone Appears on: Queen II Hollywood Remaster (1991) A dance mix, with the typical dance track backbeat. Features samples from Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Mustapha, White Man, and other Queen songs. A huge departure from the album track. Seven Seas Of Rhye (Instrumental Mix 2011) 3:10 Written by Freddie Mercury Appears on: UK/US 2011 Queen II Deluxe CD Then Instrumental Mix 2011 is an excellent instrumental version made from the original multitrack. This instrumental version starts with Freddie's count-in and more notably ends with the original bass/drum/guitar outro.
See What A Fool I've Been 4:38 Written by Brian May Appears on: US Seven Seas of Rhye 7" vinyl, UK Seven Seas of Rhye 7" vinyl, Queen II Hollywood Remaster (1991), UK Seven Seas of Rhye 3" CD single, Japan Seven Seas of Rhye 3" CD single, UK The Singles Collection Volume 1, UK/US 2011 Queen II Deluxe CD Queen's first non-album B-side appeared on their first UK hit, Seven Seas Of Rhye. Recorded in February 1974, See What A Fool I've Been is an awesome heavy blues track with wicked "spoof" vocal performance by Freddie. The track is heavily influenced by "That's How I Feel" by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee. A very interesting track and worth having. See What A Fool I've Been (BBC
