Any Queen buff should know that July 2nd, 1971 was the first concert with John on bass, so let us raise a glass for the proper 40th anniversary today! Is anyone doing anything to commerate? I've decided to celebrate in a slightly unusual way and scoop up the finest rareties I can find and whack them onto one disc. Give me a score out of 5 on how revelant and appropriate you think each song for such a ''rareties' compilation.
