I've just got the Jan 2006 edition of Classic Rock and it includes a free cd containing 12 cover versions of Queen tracks : I don't think there are any specially recorded versions, I think most if not all are available elsewhere but it's an interesting collection.
Track listing :
Bohemian Rhapsody : Grey DeLisle
One Vision : James LaBrie / Bruce Bouittet
Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy : Jason Mraz
Tie Your Mother Down : Talisman
Stone Cold Crazy : Enuff Z'Nuff
Don't Stop Me Now : The Vandals
I Want It All : Robin McAuley & Chris Impellitteri
Fat Bottomed Girls : Hayseed Dixie
It's Late : Anthrax
Another One Bites The Dusts : Batfish Boys
Save Me : Jeff Scott Soto & Bruce Kulick
We Will Rock You : Jeff Scott Soto
The cover of the cd is an adaptation of the 'A Night At The Opera'
As for the magazine (which I think is the best mag around at the moment) the cover is an early 70's pic of Freddie and the main feature is 8 pages based around the making of 'A Night At The Opera'
Not a bad buy at £4.25

I bought it today and yeah it's ok The CD is cool Though!
The last track is claimed as eclusive if you ........read the magazine!!!!
That cds rubbish, all the songs are just out of line vocally,
The cross between AOBTD and Hendrix's "Purple Haze" is fun! And I was always a huge fan of It's Late by Anthrax...! But basically yes- the CD is kind of crappy... But the article is nice- old, pretty known interviews but it's a really nice read- I'm buying CR anyway...
Queen cover versions work best when they arent done by rock bands paying homage to their heroes. The versions of BR and FBGs are best.
I’m certain I read the interview at the time in Melody Maker but good to read it again and see how things were at the time for Queen - just about to be huge!
