One of the parts on the Classic Queen mix where the different mix shows is when they're singing "Caring about ourselves"...you can hear Roger singing more than on the original.[/QUOTE]
Thank you. I made myself not clear it seems. I was asking for info about the "10th anniversary version" of Hot Space. And I think that Body Language was the bonus remix, not UP.

Other than the standard Album version, here are the versions I know of:
Greatest Hits II Edit: same as the album, but cuts out the second "This is our last dance" in the finale. Quite noticable as you sing along and it's not there! This is also on on the OOP "David Bowie: The Singles 1969-1993" double CD release.
Classic Queen Mix: Punchier drums and overall cleaner sound. The vocal for "That's okay!" is gone, but the music is still there.
Karaoke Mix: The album version almost entirely instrumental, except for the finale, where Bowie's vocal comes. And only one finger snap ends the song.
Mike Spencer Mix: The claps and finger snaps are absent at the beginning, some of the backing elements are re-arrangd nicely, and the drums and guitars are heavier. Not radically different, but very noticable
Rah Mix: Best decribed as an almost completely new version, with new backing throughout and a unique opening vocal with Freddie and David.
Rah Mix Radio Edit: An edit of the Rah Mix, lacking the "You said New York..." opening vocal.
Club 2000 Mix: A sort of "Extended" version of the edit, also lacking the opening vocal and some of the regular vocal throughout.
Knebworth Mix: A live version rather than a remix, this is from Queen's last performance of the Magic Tour (1986), at Knebworth Park, making it the last time the four of them performed this song live.
David Bowie Live B-Side Version: No Queen involvement, but just as valid. From his "Hallo Spaceboy" single, recorded during his "Outside" tour.
Greatest Hits II Edit: same as the album, but cuts out the second "This is our last dance" in the finale. Quite noticable as you sing along and it's not there! This is also on on the OOP "David Bowie: The Singles 1969-1993" double CD release.

Yes, the bonus mix is Body Language (and it's crap)

Wilki: interesting! Always a pleasure reading your comments! Thanks. Could you please elaborate on that Hot Space release and the UP mix? You are not refering to the Hollywood Records release (HR-61038-2) are you? I am also curious about that re-edited video... PS What happened to your website?[/QUOTE]
No, I am talking about a Parlophone 1992 release which was dititally remastered (unlike the other 1992 reissues) - I believe this was only issued in the UK. It has the same catalogue number as the 1987 EMI release and no bonus track at all. The alternate video of Under Pressure can be found in several promo tapes and also in a Korean VCD and also a recent DVD (both copy the contents of a Hollywood Records promo 'Rockumentary' VHS).
P.S: Offline due to lack of time. I am again at the University.

I could swear I remember hearing it without that extra "this is our last dance" before though from somewhere else. Did the single edit this out? I still have my 45 so whenever I get a chance I'm going to check. Or maybe the We Will Rock You concert video doesn't have that extra line either.

I was by chance listening to a 12 year old GHII cd and was caught out by the missing "Last dance" line. It's been so long since hearing that cd.

edit.
I've asked about a definitive list of mixes of this before, and no one seems to want to focus their energies on that. There is a GH version, probably a couple of Hot Space versions (LP-CD-singles). The 45 sounds different than my album version. Roger's voice is way up in the mix in the Classic Queen version, for example, and of course the existence and non existence of "People on the streets."
We can put up samples online, people. It's called fair use. Anyone ever listen to samples on Amazon or other places? Same principle. There's details to this, but it has to be a certain fraction of the complete work, etc. Jim Beach isn't going to come after ya for one mp3 file of a "people on the streets" refrain.

In theory, only 10 % of a track may be used (American Laws) no matter what format it is in.
Firstly, the link it's obviously to official material. That needs no clarification! Please remove.
Secondly, the minor edit of Under Pressure in GH2 and also in several other compilations was made specially by David Ricards in 1991 along with other minor edits/early fades to most of GH2 tracks to 'fit' them all in the CD.
Finally, the single has the same version as the album version.

My list wasn't definitive?
My 7" single (45 RPM) doesn't sound any different and there's no account of any original 1981 "Under Pressure" single containing any other mix, version or edit.
Keep in mind, everyone, the ear can play tricks on your when you switch between formats (vinyl, cassette, CD, etc.), sometimes sounding flatter or in a slightly different pitch. These are not alternate versions, simply victims of different equipment processing the information. It doesn't matter how new or old the equipment is, these things will happen.

Thank you Wilki. Do you know in which month this cd has been released? Now all I have to do is crawl through several second hand shops to find that cd ;-)
I have found the alternate video on Youtube.
P.S: Good luck at the University. I hope you'll sometime find the time to progress with your Versionary.
