  • I Wanna Testify. Roger Taylor’s first solo single was a reworking of ‘(I Wanna) Testify’, originally recorded by The Parliaments in 1967. Released: 26/8/1977. This single never featured on an album.
  • Turn On The TV. Non-album B-side of ‘I Wanna Testify’.
  • My Country. This edited version was released as a single on 29/6/1981. The original version appears on the album ‘Fun In Space’.
  • Man On Fire. This extended version featured on the 12″ vinyl single. Released 4/6/1984. The original version appears on the album ‘Strange Frontier’.
  • I Cry For You. B-side of ‘Strange Frontier’. This version, different to the album cut, was remixed by John Deacon and Mack, as was the extended mix featured on the 12″ vinyl single. Released 30/7/1984. The original version appears on the album ‘Strange Frontier’.
  • Strange Frontier. This extended mix featured on the 12″ vinyl single. Released 30/7/1984. The original version appears on the album ‘Strange Frontier’.
  • Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad). Additional track on the 12″ vinyl ‘Strange Frontier’ single of 30/7/1984. This song never featured on an album. Roger regarded this as an indulgent amusement.
  • Nazis 1994. The original recording – which predates the ‘Happiness?’ album – contained the ‘F’ word within the lyrics, which the record label stipulated could not be present on a single version. Thus, Roger replaced the offending word with ‘Stinking’ for the single and album release. Various remixes of ‘Nazis 1994’ featured on various vinyl and CD single formats (including a red vinyl 7”). Released: 3/5/1994.
  • Foreign Sand. Roger collaborated with Japanese musician Yoshiki for this project. This edited single version was issued on 7″ blue vinyl, 12″ vinyl picture disc and CD single. Released: 19/9/1994. The original version appears on the album ‘Happiness?’
  • Final Destination. This was also a collaboration with Yoshiki. It was an additional track on the UK 12″ vinyl and CD single formats of ‘Foreign Sand’, and included on the Japanese CD version of the ‘Happiness?’ album, as well as a Japanese ‘Foreign Sand’ 3” CD single.
  • Everybody Hurts Sometime. This live version, recorded at the Shepherds Bush Empire, London, on Sept 15th 1994, featured on the 12″ picture disc vinyl version of the ‘Happiness?’ single, and a green vinyl 7”. Released: 21/11/1994. The original version appears on the album ‘Happiness?’
  • Old Friends. This live version, recorded at the Shepherds Bush Empire on Sept 15th 1994, was also included on the 12″ picture disc of the ‘Happiness?’ single. The original version appears on the album ‘Happiness?’
