* CutSong: Three duets between Music/FreddieMercury and Music/MichaelJackson during the sessions for this album: "There Must Be More to Life Than This", "State of Shock", and "Victory". However, neither song was completed by the pair, and two of them would be recorded for their solo projects: Mercury would record a solo version of "There Must Be More to Life Than This" for his solo debut, ''Mr. Bad Guy'', while Jackson would redo "State of Shock" with his brothers and Music/MickJagger for Music/TheJacksonFive's ''Victory''. The original Jackson/Mercury version of "There Must Be More to Life Than This" would eventually be completed for the 2014 compilation ''Queen Forever''; the surviving members of Queen attempted to release all three duets, but the Jackson estate only allowed them to use one song, and that was the track they agreed on. The original version of "State of Shock" would eventually leak online, whereas "Victory" remains in the vaults.
