Proof positive that Queen Productions aren't the only ones that can re-release already-available material.

CONTENTS
1. Don't Stop Me Now (Dance Till You Drop Mix) 1:38
Original by Queen from their album "Jazz," which contains no real Jazz music, but indeed does contain plenty of "Jazz Hands."
Remix by Ragin' Ron Buczko.
Believe it or not this is so short because it was submitted as a possible backing track for a cheerleading competition.

2. Heaven For Everyone (Moonshine Mix) 6:37
Written by Roger Taylor (the drummer from Queen.) Recorded by The Cross (the solo band Roger Taylor (the drummer from Queen) put together when Queen stopped touring live) for their album "Shove It." Freddie Mercury (the maracas player and sometime vocalist for Queen) was invited to do some background vocals, and then took lead vocals on an alternate version. Those vocals were lifted posthumously and re-backed by Queen (the lead guitarist, bass guitarist, and drummer from Queen) for their netherworldly album "Made In Heaven."
All these versions and more go into Ross Robertson's remix.
After reading that provenance you might want to get some moonshine yourself.

3. Live At Wembley '86 (F*cking Water Mix) 2:20
Original by Queen, from the album "Live At Wembley '86" (the re-release of which a year or two ago is actually a really good buy.)
Remix by Mbublitz.
There's a word for the style of remixing used here, I think it's called ... "good."

4. Furia (Points Culminants Mix) 6:59
Original from the soundtrack of the movie "Furia," by Brian May (not the movie-soundtrack-writer Brian May, mind you, duh, it's the Brian May who wrote songs for movie soundtracks like "Highlander," "Flash Gordon," and, well, "Furia.")
Remix by Vladimir Vojtek.
My boss thinks parts of Furia sound like the Godfather. He also thinks it's ok to divide by zero. Did I mention he's a computer programmer?

5. Ride the Wild Wind (Blindspot Mix) 4:33
Original by Queen from their album "Innuendo." Here's an innuendo for you: the writing credit for this percussion and rhythm-heavy song simply reads "Queen."
Remix by Sir Reginald Backhouse.
Do not listen to this song while driving unless you have a vested interest in police pensions.

6. Heartland (Extended Acreage Mix) 6:59
Original by The Cross (see above) for their album "Blue Rock" -- well, no, that album had a single "Life Changes" -- but that was withdrawn...alright, alright! I stole it from Roger Taylor's trash can, ok?
Remix by Bart Lammey.
Who is the hack that remixed this?? It sounds like that extended version of "Keep Passing the Open Windows," just a bunch of goofy samples repitched like a cheap Casio in a Musicland, sheesh!

7. Don't Lose Your Head (Barnyard Mix) 0:34
Original by THE KURGAN! "HELLO LADIES, LELEL LELEL!" "IT'S BETTER TO BURN OUT, THAN FADE AWAY! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!"
Remix by Rappin' Ryan Waggoner.
Criticize this at your own peril, Highlander.
