Pre Ordained by 'Queen' is an unofficial bootleg album of tracks recorded 1969-1978. The release of this album under the 'Queen' name is a stretch, at best. Only one track, the first, is truly credited to the band. The sound quality of this CD is highly questionable. Though an unofficial release Pre Ordained is included in Allmusic's discography of the band and for sale through online stores.

All tracks are also available on officially released records. The sound quality of these official versions is, of course, much better compared to the bootleg tracks:

  • Smile: Earth (7" vinyl single, 1969, USA)
  • Peter Straker: This One's On Me (vinyl album, 1978)
  • Smile: Gettin' Smile (vinyl album, 1982, Japan)
  • Queen: Headlong (single, 1991)
  • Queen: Queen (Hollywood Record's CD reissue, 1991)
  • Smile: Ghost of a Smile (CD, 1997)
  • Freddie Mercury: The Solo Collection / Solo (box sets, 2000)
