Hi,
What did you guys think about '"Two Sharp Pencils, "Stop All The Fighting" and "A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling"?

The tracks you mentioned are nice quirky tracks at best, but definitely b-side material. There are some gems though, especially Final Destination on the Foreign Sand b-side and Heartland on the Life Changes b-side.

There are some gems though, especially Final Destination on the Foreign Sand b-side and Heartland on the Life Changes b-side. Agreed 100% there! You mentioned my favorite solo b-sides :-D "She Blows Hot & Cold" is a very good track IMO. Perhaps it's not the best fit within the album, just like "Stop All The Fighting" in that sense, but it could have been included otherwise. "Made In Heaven" (extended version) is a great remix. Different enough from the album version, and perhaps a tighter edit could have been the single version. "Strange Frontier" (extended mix) feels just right as well. The instrumental bits add a nice atmosphere to the song. |

Stop All the Fighting is just ok.
I love Two sharp Pencils ... "He can do it again if he wants to".
A Dozen Red Roses for My Darling is much better than Don't Lose Your Head.

For me, I find these are great songs:
Freddie:
Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow Extended Version -- love the extended piano.
I Was Born To Love You Extended Version -- love the extended beat.
She Blows Hot and Cold - My favourite non-album track (especially the Brian take). I can see why it didn't fit onto Mr. Bad Guy, but it was deservedly released.
Roger:
Final Destination - New Version B-Side on Foreign Sand.
I Cry For You Extended 12" Version - Remixed by John and Mack. Love it.
In Charge of My Heart - Fantastic The Cross song.
Heartland - Same as above.
Brian:
Retro Rock EP. Some great covers by our Dr. May.
