carnival sound effects at the beginning of the track.

4:07

The demo has no Carousel intro, few vocals, different/unfinished lyrics,
and an extended guitar solo.

This single version fades out with the piano intro to Flick Of The Wrist.
Tenement Funster (Japan 3"
CD Single Version) 2:58
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Japan
Queen's First EP 3" CD single
A completely stand-alone version of the
track, featuring no part of Flick of the Wrist (the two tracks segue together
on the album). This Japanese exclusive single version ends on the fading
guitar chord at the end of the song (where Flick of the Wrist would normally
be starting). Really nice version and worth having just to hear the track
stand out on it's own.
Tenement Funster (BBC Session 5)
2:55
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Unreleased
Nice alternate version. Like all of Session 5, the band used the backing
track to the album version. Roger's vocals are slightly different with
an interested distorted sound. The track ends like the Japanese Single
Version.
Tenement Funster (Instrumental Demo) 1:50
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Unreleased
This track premiered at the 19th International Fan Club Convention in
Prestatyn. Not too different from the official version's backing track,
this version has different guitar and drum overdubs.

Track ends with the "baby you've been had" lyrics and a drawn
out guitar chord.

A

with the "baby you've been had" lyrics and a drawn out guitar
chord.
Flick Of The Wrist (UK 3"
CD Single Version) 3:19
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: UK

This mix starts abruptly from the last chord of Tenement Funster. The
end of the track fades badly with the "all this time honey..."
lyrics.
Flick Of The Wrist (US Single Version)
3:10
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: US
Killer Queen 7" vinyl
Mix starts similarly to the other versions, just with no piano intro.
The end fades into the intro of Lily of the Valley. Probably the worst
of the Flick of the Wrist mixes.
Flick Of The Wrist (BBC Session
5) 3:21
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Unreleased
Features what sounds like the backing track from the album version. Freddie
provides a new vocal track and Brian adds some extra guitar. A good version
of the song, but nothing really spectacular.
Flick Of The Wrist (Intro Instrumental Demo)

This version from the Elektra 7" release features a complete stand-alone

Lily Of The Valley (Digital
Master Sampler Edit) 1:46
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Digital
Master Sampler
Fades in with the "baby you've been had" lyrics from Flick of
the Wrist and the ending rumble of In The Lap of the Gods (which preceded
it in the Master Sampler track listing). A very weird edit.

Now I'm Here (BBC Session 5) 4:12
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Unreleased
Almost identical to the album version. The track
uses the entire backing track to the album version. The only difference
is a different vocal track from Freddie that features some echoing effects.
Probably the least exciting BBC take.
Now I'm Here (Live) 6:59
Written by Brian May
Appears on: The Concert for the
People of Kampuchea
A really good live version that is only available on The Concert for the
People of Kampuchea live album. Freddie does some vocal exercises with
the audiences in the middle of the track. The album featured this track
from Queen, a few tracks from Paul McCartney, and others.

Appears on: Sheer
Heart Attack Hollywood Remaster (1991) (Early Pressings only)
A minor remaster error
of this track was released with the initial Hollywood Records Sheer Heart
Attack longbox CD shipments in 1991. The error was later corrected for
later shipments. This one is pretty hard to find now, for it was corrected
quickly. The error occurs at 0:22 into the track with some of the backing
"oooh oooh" vocals omitted.

The audio from the Rocks Video Version is the exact same as the album
version, except Freddie overdubbed in at the beginning of track introducing
the song from a live performance (possibly the Rainbow performance).
Stone Cold Crazy (Re-Produced By
Trent Reznor) 3:49
Written by Queen, Remixed by Trent Reznor
Appears on: Hollywood
Records Stone Cold Crazy 3 track Promo CD, Hollywood
Records Freakshow Promo Sampler CD
Awesome remix done by Reznor, mixing the Queen sound with the Nine
Inch Nails industrial sound. Includes studio sound bites from the band
at the beginning and end of the track, including Freddie saying, "That
should have been a good take" at the end. Definitely worth finding;
one of the best Queen remixes ever.

Hard to spot any difference between this version and the album version.
Very slight variation in drum sound. Not worth tracking down.

Again, not that different from the album version. Features the album version
backing track with new lead vocals by Freddie.

The final exploding effect is somewhat cut from the track as it is edited
into the beginning of Lily of the Valley (which is the next track on the
Sampler Disc). Lily of the Valley fades in at the end of the track.

From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. A very nice snippet
from the album version for use in the videogame. The track begins at "I
can see what you want me to be", and goes through to the chorus. The backing
instrumentation fades out before the vocal, leaving Freddie to sing a capella
for the final few seconds. Well done.

Freddie Mercury piano slave. Backing track without Brian May, but not too
different, misses one line in the second verse, additional piano at the
end. |
