  ## Curiosità
  
  * Stop All The Fighting e She Blows Hot & Cold vennero scritte da Freddie Mercury e prodotte dallo stesso cantante in collaborazione con Reinhold Mack ed incise a Monaco di Baviera nel 1984 durante le sessioni di registrazione per l'album Mr. Bad Guy (pubblicato nell'anno seguente), ma vennero alla fine escluse dalla tracklist e si optò quindi per utilizzarle come B-Sides rispettivamente dei singoli I Was Born to Love You e Made in Heaven.
  * Le versioni originarie di In My Defence e Time vennero registrate rispettivamente nell'ottobre 1985 e gennaio 1986 in Abbey Road per essere incluse in un raro LP di artisti vari del 1986 intitolato Time, colonna sonora dell'omonimo musical messo in scena da Dave Clark.
  * la versione 2000 Remix di In My Defence è la stessa che nel 1992 venne remixata da Ron Nevison per essere inclusa nel The Freddie Mercury Album, solo rimasterizzata per l'occasione.
  * la versione 2000 Remix di Time è una versione fino ad allora inedita su album (sebbene molto simile a quella in studio del 1986) ed è la stessa che accompagna il videoclip.
  * La versione Rock Mix di Love Kills (si tratta di una versione remixata nel 1992) ad un primo ascolto sembra essere registrata dal vivo, ma questo è solo un effetto aggiunto in studio, in quanto questo brano non venne mai eseguito dal vivo né da Freddie Mercury né dai Queen.
