Play The Game (with Andy Gibb)
Written by Freddie Mercury

There is a rumored version of Play The Game that
features Andy Gibb doing some sort of vocal work with Queen. It is still
unknown if this has ever existed or if the tapes have survived over the
years.

interesting.
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.

once, as opposed to the normal two times.
Under Pressure (Classic Queen Remix)
4:02
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Appears on: 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) 3:51

A nice instrumental version which shows there's much more to this

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.

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.

Recorded live at Knebworth Stadium. This live mix from Queen's last

of the song.

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.
Amandla 4:39
Written by Dave Stewart and Brian May
Performers: Anastacia,

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.
Invincible Hope 4:42
Written by Roger Taylor
Performers: Queen

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 similar to Another One Bites The Dust however.
Recommended.
Invincible Hope (One Year On Remix) 4:14
Written by Roger Taylor
Performers: Queen

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 percussion is snappier, 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.

Not a bad little medley. The opera part of Bohemian Rhapsody sounds interesting
in this "Africanized" version by the Soweto Gospel Choir. Zucchero
does a nice 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 quite well.

There are times in this remix when it doesn't
seem to know what it's doing or where it's going, but not quite in the fun
way a mix like the Long Dusted B-Boy version does. When you need to change
everything up every 30 seconds to keep the mix going, you might want to
ask yourself if you're accomplishing what you set out to do.

I
guess the unwritten rule of the dance remix is: The longer, the better.
This remix is long and as you would expect, it's rather repetitive. Repetition
is not bad if it's something worth repeating. The original is such a simple,
catchy song, that two things will grow out of its success: a lot of remixes
and a lot of remixes like this one. They all start to sound the same and
this one sounds the most the same.

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. It features the typical dance mix backbeat,
Queen singing the chorus parts, Ming's sample from the movie, and a lot
of looping. It even manages to take out the best part of the song - Freddie's
"just a man..." vocal solo.

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 rock star. 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.

An effective and a to the point edit of the Main Pass Mix. The edit
probably works a little better than the full version just because there
is little filler.
