Album Info
Queen's fifteenth and final studio album with Freddie Mercury
(and John Deacon for that matter) was truly Made In Heaven. Sessions began
immediately after work was completed on Innuendo in 1991. Freddie, realizing
he would not live to see the final product, worked whenever he felt well
enough. Three songs from these final sessions, You Don't Fool Me, A Winter's
Tale, and Mother Love, were completed for the final album.
The three remaining members of Queen, devastated by the loss, did not continue on the project for almost two years. Roger Taylor and John Deacon began work together on the project, which quickly prompted Brian May to join them. With only three songs suitable for use from the final sessions, the band culled from Freddie and Roger's solo work and from older studio sessions.
Heaven For Everyone began as a track for Taylor's side band The Cross. Originally recorded with Roger's lead vocal, Freddie heard the track and demanded to sing it. The Cross version was released with Freddie's vocal on the UK Shove It album while Roger's lead vocal was used on the UK single and US Shove It album. Queen used the Mercury vocal take and re-recorded the song for use as the lead single. Heaven For Everyone, was released two weeks before the album as two separate CD singles. CD single Part 1 featured the track in edited, single version form along with a single version of It's A Beautiful Day and the album cut of the title track. CD single Part 2 also included the Heaven For Everyone single version paired with Queen's first three UK singles. Not surprisingly, Heaven For Everyone was a hit, reaching #2 in the UK chart.
A Winter's Tale, the second single, was recorded during the sessions after Innuendo in Montreux. Although credited to Queen, A Winter's Tale was primarily composed by Mercury, inspired by the beautiful surroundings of Montreux. Released as a two part CD single, the song was a hit, reaching #6 in the UK.
Too Much Love Will Kill You, the third single, originally began as a Brian May solo project with Elizabeth Lamers and Frank Musker. A Queen version was originally recorded during The Miracle sessions and almost made the cut for the final album. With the Queen version on the shelf, Brian released his solo version in August 1992 to support his solo album Back To The Light. The Queen single was released in February 1996 reaching #15 on the UK chart.
Let Me Live began as a jam session with Queen, Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Carmine Appice, and Jim Cregan during The Works sessions in Los Angeles. The jam version, titled Take Another Piece Of My Heart, remained unfinished. Freddie's vocals from the session were used for a new song featuring Mercury, May, and Taylor each performing lead vocals. Let Me Live was released as the fourth single as a 7" picture disc and two part CD single. Although airplay was minimal, Let Me Live reached #9 in the UK chart.
You Don't Fool Me, the fifth and final single, was remixed by various producers and released in different form across all of Europe. The UK release featured four mixes on 12" white vinyl and CD single, reaching #17 in the UK.
The title track, Made In Heaven, and I Was Born To Love You were both songs featured on Mercury's first solo album, Mr. Bad Guy. Taylor, May, and Deacon recorded new arrangements and backing tracks for both solo songs, using vocals from the original 1985 sessions to create new Queen versions. The title track remains a fan favorite while I Was Born To Love You found chart success in Japan.
Along with Too Much Love Will Kill You, My Life Has Been Saved originated from The Miracle sessions. The song was originally released as a B-side to Scandal and was reworked for inclusion on Made In Heaven.
It's A Beautiful Day was a spontaneous idea recorded in Munich during The Game sessions in April 1980. Roger remembered the track and Freddie's particularly good mood that day. The band finished the song and used it as the opening and reprise for the final album.
Mother Love, recorded in May 1991, contains the final vocals recorded by Mercury before his death. Co-written by Mercury and May, Mother Love is a stark look at mortality, made all that more effective by Freddie's health.
Tracks 12 and 13 are unlisted tracks featured on the CD version and the 2015 double LP release. Track 12, is the final "yeah" segregated from It's A Beautiful Day (Reprise). Track 13 is a twenty-two minute atmospheric piece created mostly by producer David Richards as a heavenly way to finish the album.
Made In Heaven would become Queen's most successful studio album, selling over 20 million copies worldwide. The album reached #1 in the UK, going 4x platinum in the process. The US CD release reached #58 on the Billboard chart.

Reworked from the B-side version from 1989 for the Made In Heaven album, this version features the keyboard much more prominently and has a lighter sound from the added synth effects. Freddie's vocal track is much clearer, louder, and doesn't seem to be as processed. It is arguable whether this version or the original is better. Regardless, the reworking of this song made it fit in well with the Made In Heaven album.

Sounds similar to the Made In Heaven version. Freddie's vocals have a slight phased/multitracked sound to them. Ending has some spoken parts by Freddie.

I Was Born To Love You was edited for the original 1995 album for time. This is a very similar edit to the Canadian promo release, except it retains the full opening intro of the song. There are no changes in pitch, unlike the promo edit.
I Was Born To Love You (Canada Promo Edit) 4:00
Appears on: 1995 Canadian Hollywood Records Promo CD
The actual time is mislabeled on the CD promo as 3:40. The edit actually comes in at an even 4:00. The first 9 seconds of the album version are cropped off at the beginning. At about 3:20 on the edit, the pitch slowly increases and shaves off about 10 seconds from the album version. The pitch returns to normal at around 3:32. The last 30 seconds from the album version are taken off the end to finish up this edit.

This appears on the exclusive Japanese Greatest Hits II re-release from 2011. Bob Ludwig has of course remastered this track as long as the rest of the album; it is unknown who did the edit however. This track is the same as the album version, except it fades-out much earlier. The track fades out completely right before Freddie would sing "ha ha ha it's magic". An effective edit that doesn't stick out or take much away from the track.

Appears on: The Solo Collection, UK 2011 Made In Heaven Deluxe CD
This is simply Freddie's vocal and piano tracks from the album version, with a few bits cut out where there was no piano and no vocal (the finale section with all the synths). The song actually suffers a lot from the lack of the full backing. A full instrumental version might have been a more interesting inclusion to the boxed set.

Heaven For Everyone was written by Roger Taylor, reportedly with British singer/songwriter Joan Armatrading in mind to sing it. A Joan Armatrading version was not to be, so Roger recorded it for the first album with his newly found side-band, The Cross. In September, 1987, Freddie visited Roger in the studio and loved the track, so much so that he demanded to sing it. The Freddie Mercury vocal take appeared on the UK version of the first Cross album, Shove It, while Roger Taylor's lead vocal of the song appeared on the US album and the UK single. After Freddie Mercury's death in November 1991, the remaining members of Queen continued work on the unfinished tracks that he left behind. To make a complete album, some other sources were needed. Heaven For Everyone was one of the songs reworked by May, Taylor, and Deacon. The band used Freddie's 1987 vocal take from Heaven For Everyone and added a new backing track, making it a proper Queen song. The new, reworked Queen version was used as the lead single for the album. The track appeared on two seperate CD singles in the UK that were released a week apart. The Part 1 CD single was released on October 23, 1995, two weeks before the album hit shelves. It proved popular in the UK, reaching number 2 on the chart. The CD single release did not feature the album version, rather an edited, single version. Even with a full minute of the instrumental sections removed, this remains a very effective and seamless edit. In fact, it is very difficult to pick out what has been removed.

Essentially this is the Single Edit with some strange editing choices, which takes 5 seconds out of the final running time. First, there is a really jarring edit/mix at about 9 seconds with Freddie's lead vocal adding "for everyone" to the "this could be heaven.." opening. Secondly, at approximately 2:50, there is a drum beat missing after Brian's guitar scale climb.

Heaven For Everyone was written by Roger Taylor, reportedly with British singer/songwriter Joan Armatrading in mind to sing it. A Joan Armatrading version was not to be, so Roger recorded it for the first album with his newly found side-band, The Cross. In September, 1987, Freddie visited Roger in the studio and loved the track, so much so that he demanded to sing it. The Freddie Mercury vocal take appeared on the UK version of the first Cross album, Shove It, while Roger Taylor's lead vocal of the song appeared on the US album and the UK single. After Freddie Mercury's death in November 1991, the remaining members of Queen continued work on the unfinished tracks that he left behind. To make a complete album, some other sources were needed. Heaven For Everyone was one of the songs reworked by May, Taylor, and Deacon. The band used Freddie's 1987 vocal take from Heaven For Everyone and added a new backing track, making it a proper Queen song. The new, reworked Queen version was used as the lead single for the album. The track appeared on two seperate CD singles in the UK that were released a week apart. The Part 1 CD single was released on October 23, 1995, two weeks before the album hit shelves. It proved popular in the UK, reaching number 2 on the chart. The CD single release did not feature the album version, rather an edited, single version. Even with a full minute of the instrumental sections removed, this remains a very effective and seamless edit. In fact, it is very difficult to pick out what has been removed.

Essentially this is the Single Edit with some strange editing choices, which takes 5 seconds out of the final running time. First, there is a really jarring edit/mix at about 9 seconds with Freddie's lead vocal adding "for everyone" to the "this could be heaven.." opening. Secondly, at approximately 2:50, there is a drum beat missing after Brian's guitar scale climb.

Appears on: 13 Track Preview cassette for Capitol Records
In late 1988, a 13 track cassette was sent by Queen to executives at Capitol Records in the USA. The cassette served as a preview to their new, as of yet unnamed album. The cassette had excerpts of work-in-progress song versions to satisfy the curiosities of Capitol Records. Five of those tracks have leaked freely amongst traders (Scandal, Too Much Love Will Kill You, The Invisible Man, I Want It All, and The Miracle). The tape is currently owned by Queen collector John S. Stuart. Too Much Love Will Kill You was originally going to be part of The Miracle album, but was omitted due to publishing and rights issues. The vocal performance from Freddie is a different take.
Too Much Love Will Kill You (Rough Mix) 4:19
Appears on: Capitol Records "Rough Mixes" cassette tape
In early 1989, Queen sent Capitol Records an 11 track cassette tape with full-length rough mixes of the proposed tracklisting for The Miracle. Too Much Love Will Kill You was originally slated to appear on The Miracle as the 5th track (between I Want It All and The Invisible Man). Publishing issues with the co-writers of the track and the other members of Queen kept it off the album. The song would later appear on 1995's Made In Heaven. The rough mix of Too Much Love Will Kill You features the same performance that appears on the final album version. Mostly, the differences between the two are strictly in the mix of the song (instrumental volume levels, stereo effects, etc). However, there are some noticeable percussion differences, particularly with the bass drum at the end of the song.

Appears on: UK You Don't Fool Me 7" vinyl, UK You Don't Fool Me CD single, UK You Don't Fool Me 12" vinyl
A remix by David Richards, which is by far the best of the You Don't Fool Me mixes. The track starts out with Freddie's vocal impromptu from Live Aid (which is repeated throughout the song). The track has an added backbeat. Freddie's vocals are very clear as are Roger's backing vocals, which are brought to the forefront a few times. The mix of Brian's guitar solos is very good here.

At first, this mix by David Richards is very deceptive; it starts off just like the album version and then cuts bits of the Live Aid vocal impromptu into the album version. A backbeat is later added, sounding very simliar to the Late Mix. This mix could be considered a remix edit of the Late Mix.

A very odd remix by Freddy Bastone. Starts off with a synthesized "clicking" synthesized drum intro with distorted clips of Freddie's vocals from White Man. The remix continues with the dancing backbeat and Live Aid clips. Roger's backing vocals are brought to the forefront a few times and the track continues with the backbeat and synthesized horns. Becomes very repetitive.

This remix, also by Freddy Bastone, is very similar to the Club Dub remix. It starts off with a very bass oriented dance backbeat that actually sounds decent and continues throughout the song. This is more of an instrumental than the Club Dub and features more sampling from the Live Aid performance and from White Man.

Freddy Bastone's Queen Forever Megamix has a backbeat very similar to the Revenge Dub. No vocals from You Don't Fool Me are featured whatsoever. Instead samples from Under Pressure, Somebody To Love, Live Aid, The Prophet's Song, and White Man are mixed into the thumping dance backbeat. A very odd and random mix of samples.

The guitar is joined by the typical dance backbeat, which is a faster tempo than the other mixes. Bits of the guitar show up throughout the song, making it fairly interesting.

This remix by Jam and Spoon is typically considered by fans to be the worst of the You Don't Fool Me remixes. The dance backbeat is the most annoying and monotonous of the bunch, which is saying something. A sample of Freddie singing "sexy" is repeated over and over throughout the song. The vocals are rearranged throughout the song with long, annoying dance grooves in-between. Roger's vocals have been brought to the forefront a few times again, which is nice to hear.
