Strange Frontier (Video
Version) 4:21
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Unreleased
The audio of the video version is the same
as the album version, just with added underwater sounds at the beginning.
The opening and end of the video features divers, which necessitated
the extra sound effects.
Strange Frontier (Extended Version) 8:35

12" vinyl
One of my personal favorite Extended Versions of all the Queen and related
releases. Lots of extra drums (and synth) from Roger, most notably at
the beginning with over a minute and a half added. A very nice extended
remix and highly recommended.

Another really good extended release from this album. This version adds
over two minutes of extra material, mostly at the very long instrumental
opening.

A nice single remix by fellow Queen member John
Deacon. At first the track starts off the same, but noticably changes
with some different synth sounds, heavy bass (not surprising), and without
the vocal intro.

Hope And Confusion) (Extended

The final extended version from the Strange Frontier sessions is just
as good as the previous two. This features a new intro with some great
stereo vocal and sound effects. Highly recommended just because the added
parts add so much to the richness of the track. Many consider this to
be the best version of the song. This, like the single remix, is remixed
by John Deacon.

Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad) 3:22
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: UK Strange Frontier 12"

A very 80s sounding B-side only track with lots of synth throughout. Roger's
vocals have been electronically altered so much that it doesn't sound like
him (sounds more like a deep voiced early Rap artist). A very funky and
odd track.
Keep On Running 2:58
Written by Jackie Edwards
Appears on: Unreleased
This Spencer Davis Group cover was supposed to be on the album, but was
left on the cutting room floor. This stays fairly close to the original
and sounds pretty good. I think adding this to the album would have made
it too heavy on covers, and this would have definitely been filler. Would
have made a nice B-side though.

I Want To Take You Higher 3:20
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Unreleased
An unreleased track from the Strange Frontier sessions. Not a bad song at
all, this features a real thick sound with simplistic lyrics. Again, would
have been a nice B-side.

I Can't Get You Out Of My Head 3:36

Another good song that just didn't fit on the album. The track has acoustic
guitar throughout and has an almost country/bluesy sound to it. Recommended
if you can find it.
I Can Take You Higher (End Edit) 0:40
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Unreleased
This is just a fragment of an unreleased track. Not to be confused with
I Want To Take You Higher from the same sessions. This track sounds very
promising, too bad it's just the last 40 seconds of a song.
Celebration 5:15
Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: Unreleased
A very Cross sounding track, with some Hendrix-like opening guitar bits
that goes quickly into a synthesized sound. Although good, this would have
been very out of place on this album.
