Some minor vocal effects added to Freddie's lead vocal and some lead guitar removed, which creates a surprisingly good mix.

Tie Your Mother Down (Reznor Remix) 4:49
Written by Brian May, Remixed by Trent Reznor
Appears on: Withdrawn Hollywood Records Promo CD

Another Reznor mix. This is definitely worth finding on the net. Has a much more methodical and instrumental sound. Just as great as Reznor's Stone Cold Crazy remix.

Appears on: Greatest Karaoke Hits

Nice instrumental version, however an incomplete one. The sounds just like the single version but without Freddie's lead vocals and some missing guitar work at the beginning. This also features no click track.

This instrumental mix of Tie Your Mother Down was created from the original multitrack. Backing vocals are still in place to go along with the instrumental backing track. The song begins and ends with a little bit of studio banter.

This is the first live performance of You Take My Breath Away, debuting at the legendary Hyde Park concert in September 1976. This great live performance is just Freddie on vocals and piano.

This is a great performance of You Take My Breath Away from Queen's 1977 Earls Court concert. This is similar to the Hyde Park performance, again featuring just Freddie on stage providing piano and vocals. Fantastic.

This version adds Freddie's spoken intro to the song, which isn't present on the iTunes Video Version. It ends at roughly the same point as the iTunes version, just cutting away some of the crowd reaction.

Somebody To Love (Hollywood Records 1991 Remix) 5:00
Written by Freddie Mercury, Remixed by Randy Badazz
Appears on: A Day At The Races Hollywood Remaster (1991)

Very similar to the album mix. Lead vocals, keyboards, and backing vocals are phased at different parts of the song. Some added percussion is thrown in here and there. Nothing really special and actually takes away from the song's gospel feel.

Somebody To Love (Video Version) 5:01

Written by Freddie Mercury
Appears on: Greatest Flix, Greatest Video Hits 1, UK 2011 A Day At The Races Deluxe iTunes Download

The Somebody To Love video version is the same as the album version, just with an added live ending with the crowd cheering.

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) (Single Version) 4:50
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Japan Teo Torriatte 7" vinyl

Same as the album version, just without the album outro part. Some of the outro can be detected as the single version fades to silence at the end.

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) (2001 Japan Greatest Hits Edit) 5:05
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Japan Greatest Hits 2001 Remaster

Again, just like the album and single version, just fading out at a different point in the song. More of the outro is included here as opposed to the single version.

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) (2011 Japan Greatest Hits Edit) 5:07
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Japan Greatest Hits 2011 Remaster

This appears on the exclusive Japanese Greatest Hits 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 edit is very similar to the 2001 Greatest Hits Edit, but fades out at a slightly different point.

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) (High Definition Mix 2005) 5:52
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Jewels II, Japan 2008 In Vision

A new mix of the album version by Brian May. Astonishingly clear with many background elements brought to the front. It is very neat to compare this to the original. Guaranteed you'll hear new things that you didn't before. Highly recommended.

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) (High Definition Mix 2005 - Promo Single Edit) 4:43
Written by Brian May
Appears on: Japan Teo Torriatte CD promo single

This is the same great High Definition Mix that appears on Jewels II, except that it fades out before the instrumental outro begins. I prefer this to the actual full-length mix.

Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) (High Definition Mix 2005 - 2011 Edit) 4:49
Written by Brian May
Appears on: UK/US 2011 A Day At The Races Deluxe CD

This version of the HD Mix appears exclusively on the 2011 A Day At The Races remaster. The track is virtually identical to the promo single edit; the outro ends with the full piano note and does not fadeout. As a result, this version is a full standalone version of the HD Mix without the album outro.
