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

Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: UK Strange Frontier 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.

I Cry For You (Love, Hope And Confusion) (Single Remix) 4:08
Written by Taylor/Richards, Remixed by John Deacon
Appears on: UK Strange Frontier 7" vinyl

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.

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)

Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad) 3:22

Written by Roger Taylor
Appears on: UK Strange Frontier 12" vinyl

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

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

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

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

I Can Take You Higher (End Edit) 0:40

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

Celebration 5:15

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.
