Brighton Rock (Album Version) 5:10
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Sheer Heart Attack, Track 1


Brighton Rock (The eYe Version) 0:13
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Queen: The eYe

From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. This edit for the videogame is the first 13 seconds of the album version, featuring just some of the carnival sound effects at the beginning of the track.

Brighton Rock (Early Demo - a.k.a. Brighton Fuck) 4:07
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Unreleased

This track premired at the 19th International Fan Club Convention in Prestatyn. No Carousel intro, little and different vocals with unfinished lyrics and extended guitar solo.

Killer Queen

Killer Queen (Acetate Version) 3:09

Appears on: Killer Queen acetate vinyl

Exactly the same as the album version, just with another 9 seconds of added finger-snapping.

Tenement Funster

Tenement Funster (Album Version) 2:56

Appears on: Sheer Heart Attack, Track 3


Tenement Funster (Single Version) 2:58

Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: UK Queen's First EP 7" vinyl, 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). The 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 (UK 3" CD Single Version) 2:54
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: UK Queen's First EP 3" CD single

Just like the standard Single Version, except that the track fades out with the piano intro to Flick of the Wrist.

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 premired at the 19th International Fan Club Convention in Prestatyn. Not too different, guitar and drum overdubs.

Tenement Funster + Flick Of The Wrist intro (Instrumental Demo) 1:59
Written by Roger Taylor/Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Unreleased

This track premired at the 2004 Dutch Fan Club Convention. Very similar to the final backing tracks.

Flick Of The Wrist

Flick Of The Wrist (Album Version) 3:22
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on:
Sheer Heart Attack, Track 4

Flick Of The Wrist (Single Version) 3:21

Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: UK Killer Queen 7" vinyl, Japan Killer Queen 3" CD single

A stand-alone version that starts with a slightly shortened piano opening. Track ends with the "baby you've been had" lyrics and a drawn out guitar chord.

Flick Of The Wrist (Dutch Single Version) 3:23
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Dutch Killer Queen 7" vinyl

A true stand-alone version that has the complete piano opening. Track ends 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 Killer Queen 3" CD single

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)
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Unreleased

This track premired at the 19th International Fan Club Convention in Prestatyn. Very similar to the final version.

Lily Of The Valley

Lily
Of The Valley (Single Version) 1:38
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: UK Now I'm Here 7" vinyl

The track starts abruptly with the fading last guitar chord of Tenement Funster. Not a bad single edit.

Lily Of The Valley (US Single Version) 1:35
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: US Keep Yourself Alive 7" vinyl (1975)

This completely stand-alone version starts before the UK single version with a few extra piano chords. Probably the best edit of the three since there are no fades from other tracks.

Lily Of The Valley (Digital Master Sampler Edit) 1:46
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Queen 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

Now I'm Here (Album Version) 4:13

Appears on: Sheer Heart Attack, Track 6


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.

In The Lap Of The Gods

In The Lap Of The Gods (Hollywood Remaster Error) 3:20

Written by Freddie Mercury
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.

Stone Cold Crazy (Live at the Rainbow) 2:12

Written by Queen
Appears on: UK The Miracle 7" vinyl, UK The Miracle 12" vinyl, UK The Miracle CD Single

A nice live version from Queen's concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London. Good 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 soundbites 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.

Written by Queen, Remixed by Michael Wagener
Appears on: Sheer Heart Attack Hollywood Remaster (1991), Encino Man soundtrack
, Hollywood Records Stone Cold Crazy 3 track Promo CD
Hard to spot any difference between this version and the album version. Very slight variation in drum sound. Not worth tracking down.

Stone Cold Crazy (BBC Session 5) 2:12
Written by Queen
Appears on: Unreleased

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

In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited (
Digital Master Sampler Edit) 3:38
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Queen Digital Master Sampler

The final explosing 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.

In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited (The eYe Version) 0:30
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Queen: The eYe

From the Electronic Arts videogame, Queen: The eYe. A very nice snippit 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.

In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited (Early Take) 2:58
Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Unreleased

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.
