Freddie Mercury - Stop All The Fighting

From 1985, 'Stop All The Fighting' was the b-side to 'I Was Born To Love You' which reached #11 in the UK charts. The track wasn't included on Mercury's album 'Mr.Bad Guy' so was exclusive to 'I Was Born To Love You'. Unusually for a b-side an extended version was produced. It's a great little pop track, with it's insistant bass-line and beat. And it has a positive message too!

In 1993, the track was featured as a b-side on the re-release of 'The Great Pretender'.
