Because the Queen version does not appear to have been re-recorded or replaced in any way but is the same take as The Cross version[/QUOTE]
Whaaaaaaat, are you taking the piss? The Queen version to me sounds like a completely new May/Taylor/Deacon recording, especially the bass coming in at 3m50s when Freddie starts singing 'Listen! What people do to other souls...'

I clearly didn't mean the whole song!! I was referring purely to that very specific short bass piece.

So you guys are telling me that Queen's version Heaven For Everyone might not feature John Deacon on bass? I just can't believe it, to me it has always sounded as Deacon, it made me quite emotional when I first heard the song in 1995.

It could easily be a mixture... some parts preserved from the '87 version, some parts re-recorded. Same for keyboards and of course vocals (old lead vocals, new harmonies).
