takrl! 16th Apr 2017		CD Single Queen - BBC Radio One Interview With Mike Read	The disc says "Only to be sold as part of The Queen Collection. Not to be sold separately." (as Parisien mentioned). But at the time that box set came out, some solitary copies of this disc appeared on the market anyway.
takrl! 16th Apr 2017		CD Single Queen - Interviews And Press Conferences	This is the corresponding 12" release. A limited number (my notes say 2000, but I haven't got any proof) came in a plain white stickered box set including four b/w postcards, see images 5–10.
takrl! 16th Apr 2017		12" Single Queen - Limited Edition Interview Picture Disc	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	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	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)	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)	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! 26th Mar 2017		CD Single The Cross - Power To Love	This also comes in a promo box, which additionally contains a VHS video, promo booklet, photo and sticker.
takrl! 25th Mar 2017		CD Single The Mustard Seeds - Mr. Green	My copy of this came with the booklet of the US longplay cd. I believe that to be a mixup, so I'm not adding any images of that.
takrl! 25th Mar 2017		CD Single The Mustard Seeds - Rosemarie	Comes in a two-way gatefold-digipack-type sleeve.
takrl! 25th Mar 2017		CD Single Lynn Carey Saylor Featuring Brian May - If We Believe	Hand-numbered, and signed by Lynn Carey Saylor on the back of the booklet.
takrl! 12th Mar 2017		CD Single Roger Taylor - Nazis 1994 (Single Version)	Two sleeve variations exist, see images. Some copies come with promo stickered jewel case.

takrl! 12th Mar 2017		CD Single Freddie Mercury - Living On My Own (The Egg Remix)	Is this a CDR promo?
takrl! 12th Mar 2017		CD Single Freddie Mercury And Montserrat Caballé - Guide Me Home	@redpunk In this instance, probably not, see here.
takrl! 12th Mar 2017		CD Single Freddie Mercury And Montserrat Caballé - Guide Me Home	[YouTube Video]
takrl! 8th Mar 2017		CD Single Cliff Richard - Move It	Is this a CDR promo? The disc looks a bit like it ...
takrl! 4th Mar 2017		CD Single Brian May - Back To The Light (Radio Edit)	Comes in the sleeve of the regular "part 2" UK cd, the jewel case has additional promo stickers.
takrl! 4th Mar 2017		CD Single Brian May - Another World	My copy has a swedish promo sticker.
takrl! 4th Mar 2017		CD Single Queen - We Will Rock You (Ruined By Rick Rubin)	Added an image of my second disc variant. The sleeves are absolutely identical for my two versions ...
takrl! 17th Feb 2017		12" Single Queen - Insinuacion (Innuendo)	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)	This arrived yesterday, added images.
takrl! 15th Feb 2017		12" Single Queen - Innuendo (Explosive Version)	Added missing images.
takrl! 12th Feb 2017		CD Single Queen - We Are The Champions	Funny detail: The rim text says "Made in EEC", and above the Parlophone logo it says "Made in Holland". The disc that plays "Friends Will Be Friends" has the following numbers on the playing side: EMI 8814902 01$ 2-1-2-NL The mispressed disc that plays "A Kind Of Magic" has the following numbers on the playing side: EMI 8814902 CDM02 1-1-1-NL
takrl! 12th Feb 2017		CD Single Queen - We Will Rock You (Ruined By Rick Rubin)	If I understand correctly, SID codes came into play in 1994. I've had both print versions since 1992, and neither has one, although the matrix numbers are slightly different. So maybe there's even a third version of this ugly release ...
takrl! 12th Feb 2017		CD Single Queen - We Will Rock You (Ruined By Rick Rubin)	Has anyone except me noticed that there's two different discs of this? The disc image by Carouselambra doesn't have any blue printing, whereas the one by parisien does. I've had both versions since 1992 and have always wondered if they're first and second releases or simply misprints ...
takrl! 12th Feb 2017		CD Single Queen - Scandal	Added a bigger image of the disc. Very few copies have a genuine sleeve. Unfortunately I haven't got one of those, so I can't provide the images. A copy without sleeve like this sold in March 2017 for £102 on ebay.
takrl! 11th Feb 2017		CD Single Queen - Heaven For Everyone	A mispressing exists that plays Made In Heaven. It's absolutely identical to the images shown here.
takrl! 11th Feb 2017		CD Single Queen - Heaven For Everyone (Single Version)	My version has a clear double tray.
