takrl! 11th Aug 2019		12" Single Queen - Another One Bites The Dust (1986)	From what I see on discogs, there seems to be a coloured label as well.
takrl! 25th Aug 2018		12" Single Queen - (Una Cosita Loca Llamada Amor) Crazy Little Thing Called Love (1980)	Judging by what I see at discogs, there seems to be a label variation for the a-side (omits the Mercury credit).
takrl! 26th May 2018		12" Single Queen - I Want It All (Album Version) (1989)	I received a copy of this today. Mine doesn't have the "ES" on the back sleeve in the top right corner, see image ...
takrl! 14th Feb 2018		12" Single Freddie Mercury - The Great Pretender (1987)	Looks like the back sleeve image is missing a bit at the top. Freddie's head is almost cut off, and my copy has a catalogue number printed in the top right corner, which isn't shown here.
takrl! 27th Jan 2018		12" Single Queen - Radio Ga Ga (Extended Version) (1984)	Added a new set of label images ...
takrl! 2nd Jan 2018		12" Single Queen - Interviews And Press Conferences	I saw a green vinyl of this today ...
takrl! 29th Nov 2017		12" Single Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (2015)	Essentially, this is identical to the european release, the only difference between the two is the sticker.
takrl! 29th Nov 2017		12" Single Queen - We Are The Champions (2017)	It'll probably take a week or so until I'm able to photograph the sleeve in daylight. I'll eventually do it, unless somebody else adds the sleeve images in the meantime ...
takrl! 5th Nov 2017		12" Single Queen - Back Chat (1982)	Added a new set of images. This one also has the "E A S T"-marks around the spindle hole, but on the b-side, not on the a-side. I wonder if this is a mistake of my particular copy, or if all copies are like that (it's not possible to tell from the other set of images).
takrl! 5th Nov 2017		12" Single Queen - One Vision (Extended Version) (1985)	The b-side of the testpress always seems to have no writing on it (see image), I've never seen one with any writing on it (but it does play "Blurred Vision", I checked to make sure ;-))
takrl! 15th Oct 2017		12" Single Queen - Another One Bites The Dust (1980)	@AV Added new label images ...
takrl! 15th Oct 2017		12" Single Hale And Pace And The Stonkers - Comic Relief (1991)	Added the back sleeve ...
takrl! 23rd Sep 2017		12" Single Queen - One Vision (Extended Vision) (1985)	Added label and new sleeve images.
takrl! 8th Jul 2017		12" Single Queen - Radio Ga Ga (Version Longue) (1984)	Someone was selling this lately, and when asked said the extra bit in the top right corner was a sticker, not a print. So less exciting than I thought, and I don't need to search for that "print" version anymore ...
takrl! 3rd Jul 2017		12" Single Freddie Mercury And Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona (Single Version) (1987)	Thanks @coombsb, that's the second new version of this record within ten days. Great find!
takrl! 1st Jul 2017		12" Single Freddie Mercury And Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona (Single Version) (1987)	I received my first copy of this a week ago, and was amazed to find that both the back sleeve and both labels were different to the one pictured here. My back sleeve has two lines of text above the barcode, the other one shown has five. My a-side label has a full circle rim text, the other one has a "three quarter" rim text. Vice versa for the b-side label. But they have not just been exchanged before being printed with black, the text is different as well. My A-side label says "Polygram", the b-side label of the other record says "Eurogram". Also, so far, my understanding was that Spain only had a gatefold 12" of this. My copy is a single sleeve. Extraordinary ...
takrl! 24th Jun 2017		12" Single Queen - Friends Will Be Friends (Extended Version) (Los Amigos Seran Amigos) (1986)	Added a-side label (undamaged) and b-side label.
takrl! 10th May 2017		12" Single Queen - Hammer To Fall (The Headbangers Mix) (1984)	Unfortunately my copy was heavily smudged by a previous owner ... but better these images than none, right? ;-)
takrl! 30th Apr 2017		12" Single Queen - Another One Bites The Dust (1988)	"Deacon" is misspelled "Dancon" on the A-side.
takrl! 30th Apr 2017		12" Single Queen - Another One Bites The Dust (1988)	"Deacon" is misspelled "Dancon" on the A-side.
takrl! 16th Apr 2017		12" Single Queen - Limited Edition Interview Picture Disc (1986)	Added some images. When this came out (I think in the late 80ies), the blue colour variant was pretty difficult to find. The only copy I came across at the time is the one I uploaded, where the inlay paper they used for the b-side actually has some tears and creases. The a-side is slightly different in colour too.
takrl! 16th Apr 2017		12" Single Queen - Interviews And Press Conferences	A few remarks on this one: Labels for the yellow vinyl are identical to the gold vinyl ones. My yellow and gold ones came with stickered sleeve, the pic disc one was unstickered. According to the matrix number, the label with the catalogue number on it is the b-side. The pic disc and yellow vinyl clearly show dead wax marks, but I can only see a few very faint marks on the gold one. For yellow and picture disc, the a-side has the following texts in the dead wax in clockwise order: - "A Porum Prime Cut." - "12 BR 83 A" (with a very tiny mark between them that can be anything from an "x" to a "*" to a "+" to an ampersand or an interpunct). - "Hi Derek Another Docky Catalogue Number Huh!" and - "ORLAKE" on the opposite side of where the catalogue number is. The b-side only has "12 BR 83 B" (see remarks above) and the text "ORLAKE" on the opposite side of the label.
takrl! 16th Apr 2017		12" Single Queen - A Message From The Palace (1990)	There's a light blue one too. And my copy of the dark blue one came with a stickered sleeve. See images ...
takrl! 26th Mar 2017		12" Single Rock Aid Armenia - Smoke On The Water (1989)	Two sleeve types exist: Hardcover (images 230326, 230327 and 1294537) Softcover, stickered and unstickered back (images 1267537, 1267538 and 1294539) My hardcover has "Imprimé in France. GD Imprimerie" in the bottom right corner, you can make it out in the image. I can't tell if image 230327 is the same or if that's a version without that print, as the image is slightly skewed and that part may have been cut off.
takrl! 26th Mar 2017		12" Single Billy Squier - Love Is The Hero (Intro With Freddie Mercury) (1986)	Label timecode for A-side is 5:22, but it seems to be the same version as on the UK release which gives 5:18, both containing the Freddie Intro.
takrl! 26th Mar 2017		12" Single Billy Squier - Love Is The Hero (Intro With Freddie Mercury) (1986)	Label timecode for A-side is 5:18, but it seems to be the same version as on the german release which gives 5:22, both containing the Freddie Intro.
takrl! 17th Feb 2017		12" Single Queen - Insinuacion (Innuendo) (1991)	Date marked in runout grooves: 10-I-91. This runs at 33, not at 45.
takrl! 15th Feb 2017		12" Single Queen - Breakthru (12" Version) (1989)	This arrived yesterday, added images.
takrl! 15th Feb 2017		12" Single Queen - Innuendo (Explosive Version) (1991)	Added missing images.
