No-One
But You (Only The Good Die Young) 4:13 
Written by Brian May
Performers: Queen
(Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon)
Appears on: Queen Rocks, Greatest
Hits 3, UK 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.
Play The Game (with Andy Gibb)
Written by Freddie Mercury
Performers: Queen + Andy Gibb
Appears on: Unreleased
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.

The Dust (with Annie Crummer) 3:50
Written by John Deacon
Performers: Queen

Crummer
Appears on: Queen

Another good Queen + project with a remixed backing track
and nice vocals by Annie Crummer. Worth checking out.
Another One Bites The Dust (Instrumental) 3:50
Written by John Deacon
Performers: Queen

Appears on: Queen

The exact same as the regular version, just with the lead vocals
removed. Nice to hear the remixed parts.

We Will Rock You
(with Britney Spears, Beyonce, & Pink) (Pepsi 'Gladiators' Sound Track
Remix 2004) 3:07
Written by Brian May
Performers: Queen + Britney Spears, Beyonce, & Pink
Appears on: Pepsi 2004 Gladiators
CD promo
An official audio release of the infamous Pepsi We Will Rock You commerical.
The audio is the same that is featured in the commercial. I don't know
if you would label this as being "good", but it is at least
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.
Under

Appears on: Hot Space, Track 11
Under Pressure (Greatest Hits 2 Edit) 3:55
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen + David Bowie
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.
Under Pressure (Classic Queen Remix)
4:02
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen + David Bowie
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) 3:51
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen + David Bowie
Appears on: Greatest Karaoke Hits
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 (Rah Mix) 4:08
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen + David Bowie
Appears on: Greatest Hits 3,
1999 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 (Rah Mix Edit) 3:53
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen + David Bowie
Appears on: UK Under
Pressure Rah Mix CD Single, UK
Under Pressure Rah Mix 7" vinyl
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.
Under Pressure (Spencer Mix) 3:52
Written by Queen and David Bowie, Remixed by Mike Spencer
Performers: Queen + David Bowie
Appears on: UK Under
Pressure Rah Mix CD Single, Queen
+ David Bowie/Elton John CD promo
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.
Under Pressure (Knebworth Mix)
4:17
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen + David Bowie
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.
Under Pressure (2000 Club Mix)
5:21
Written by Queen and David Bowie
Performers: Queen + David Bowie
Appears on: 1999 Under Pressure

Track begins with the strange guitar effects from the Rah Mix and
pretty much remixes and rearranges the Rah Mix edit from that point on.

Updated
version to promote the Spanish We Will Rock You musical. Eva María
handles the vocals (which are in spanish). The backing track is completely
different as are the backing vocals (which aren't provided by Roger and
Brian). An interesting version, with some nice new Red Special parts.
Has a really long, atmospheric intro.

We Will
Rock You with 5ive 2:56
Written by Brian May, Additional Raps by J. Brown/R. Breen
Performers:
Queen (Brian May, Roger Taylor) + 5ive
Appears on: 5ive: Invincible
This is Brian and Roger with the UK boy band 5ive. The normal lyrics are
now changed to raps by the members of 5ive. The chorus parts remain the
same, and are sung by 5ive. Not as bad as you would think, but still not
good.

Written by Brian May, Additional Raps by J. Brown/R. Breen

A long mix of 5ive + Queen's We Will Rock You and various
other tracks. Recommendation to avoid.
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,
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.
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.
Say It's Not True (Studio Version)

This hasn't been heard yet. If it's as good as the live version,
then we should be in for a treat.

You

Written by Ian Hunter
Performers: Ian Hunter + Queen
Appears on: All-American Alien Boy
(1976)
A great song from the former lead singer to Mott The Hoople. This track
features Freddie, Brian, and Roger singing backing vocals. Appears on Hunter's
All American Boy album, which was rereleased in 1996. Worth finding just
for this song alone.

Farnham: One Voice - Greatest Hits, True
Colours - The World In Union
This track was recorded to promote the 2003 Rugby World Cup and is
one of the best Queen + projects. The first 2 minutes features Farnham singing
along to the normal backing track to We Will Rock You. The song then extends
with added guitar by Brian. Farnham repeats the last verses and adds some
additional vocals. Very nicely redone track.
No-One

A very light, and airy version of the track.
Sung by Kerry Ellis, who was the original performer of the role of "Meat"
in the London Production of We Will Rock You. This version features a full
orchestra backing and is produced by Brian May.

A decent live version and pretty typical of the Queen + Musical Cast performances.
Brian handles lead vocal duties and the cast of the London musical sing
backing vocals.

Live version at the Party at the Palace concert featuring Will Young of

either.
Say
It's Not True 4:01
Written by Roger Taylor
Performers:
Queen
(Brian May, Roger Taylor) + Paul
Rodgers
Appears on: Free Internet Download
Debuting live at the original 46664 concert and becoming a regular staple
of the Queen + Paul Rodgers live tour, the studio version of this track
remained unreleased. Finally, in late 2007, Queen (alongside new frontman
Paul Rodgers) completed and released a studio version of Say It's Not True.
The track was released for free on the Queen website to raise awareness
for Nelson Mandela's 46664 cause. The track itself is excellent. Roger sings
verse one, Brian sings verse two, and Paul finishes the song with the third
verse. Lots of heavy drums and trademark Queen guitars are all over this
one. Highly recommended and a good start to Queen + Paul Rodgers' recording
sessions.
We
Are The Champions (with Robbie Williams) 3:53
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: A Knight's Tale Soundtrack,
Robbie Williams We Are The Champions
promo CD
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.
We Are The Champions (with Robbie
Williams) (Main Radio Mix) 3:55
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Robbie Williams We
Are The Champions promo CD
With a running time the same as the regular mix, it's hard to tell the
difference between the two. 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.
We Are The Champions (with Robbie
Williams) (Original Take)
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Unreleased
The original take presented to the recording company and rejected for
being "too different" from the classic version. This remains
unreleased (probably until the Anthologies come out). This take is rumored
to be a departure from the original, featuring acoustic guitar.
Flash's
Theme (with Vanguard) (Radio Edit) 3:16
Written by Brian May, Remixed by Vanguard
Performers: Queen + Vanguard
Appears on: Queen + Vanguard
CD 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.
Flash's Theme (with Vanguard) (A1 Mix) 6:36
Written by Brian May, Remixed by Vanguard
Performers: Queen + Vanguard
Appears on: Queen +
Vanguard Flash vinyl release 1
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.
Flash's Theme (with Vanguard) (Electro
Mix) 7:23
Written by Brian May, Remixed by Vanguard
Performers: Queen

Appears on: Queen +
Vanguard Flash vinyl release 2
Wow, they were able to turn the 6 1/2 minute Vanguard piece of crap
into 7 1/2 minutes of worse crap. Features some more samples from the
movie, some electronic sound effects, and a much faster dance backbeat.

At least this one sounds a bit different. This remix features a much
different dance backbeat and looping. Much better than the Electro Mix,
but still kind of crappy, and at over 7 minutes, who cares?
Flash's Theme (Vanguard) (Smith
and Selway Remix) 7:22
Written by Brian May, Remixed by Vanguard
Performers: Queen

Appears on: Queen

Again, more dance beat goodness (or should I say badness) with the
occasional inclusion of Flash's Theme. This one is mostly electronic looping
instrumental. Seven more minutes of crap.

Appears on: Queen

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.

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.
