Sorry, but to be honest, I don't remember this at all. (That does not mean that you are mistaken - it just means I don't remember!) I would be interested if anyone could shed further light - or - better still any evidence.

I am fairly certain the possibility of either was refered to in the fan club magazine prior to the album's release, but I'll have to take a look at my old copies to be sure. That's as much documentation as I could conceivably provide.

Walter B. wrote: I take notes from bits and pieces that I think are interesting and in 1997 I wrote down that on October 27th, 1997 Tie your mother down was going to be released and on December 15th I can´t live with you. No b-sides were known at the time. From the fanclubsite (October 9th, 1997): "The track [NOBY] will be a single, but not released until AFTER the album, and a second single is likely (I Can't Live With You). I have today received an email which says that someone has heard a "great new version" of Fat Bottomed Girls on radio in Australia...I'm afraid no one in the Queen camp has any idea about this, as they certainly haven't remixed this track! it now transpires also that the version of Tie Your Mother Down on the Rocks album is NOT a remix - this MIGHT be done as a possible third single." and from October 13th, 1997: "No-one but you will be the first single from Queen Rocks One and will be released AFTER the album, no single will be released prior to the album. I Can't Live With You is likely to be a second single in January but this hasn't been confirmed yet." I hope this is useful.

I remember this as well, although I thought it was a remix of 'If You Can't Beat Them'? Does anybody remember the first tracklisting of the album? I remember 'Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll' and 'Beat Them' was on there, and maybe even 'Ogre Battle', but I'm not sure otherwise.

Yes, John didn't work on this retake.
