To all of you manic Queen-(7"-)-collectors. For years and years I's been searching the web for a reliable and more or less complete Queen-collector's discography. There are a lot nice pages, but always many items are missing.
Finally I decided to log in to link, which is a 7"-only website. I added mostl everything I have of Queen (Solo-stuff will be added soon). Now it is by far the most complete Queen-7"-discography on the net. Definitely. Just take a look. All images can be downloaded for free.
I'm Andreas Voigts. Maybe someone of you dös know me as the guy who's doing the printed collector's discographies, which you can get for example at the UK-con every year.
If you have additional information, please log in to 45cat and add images (better or new ones), new 7"ers or make corrections. I would use those images to improve my printed discography.
My images (AV_Queen) can of course be used for free from every other guy who's running the collector's Queen-pages. You'll find tons of new images!!!!
Thanks in advance. Let's build the best discography of the best band!
Hi again and thnaks to all of you who added information or posting a message in here.
The book(s):
Until the end of 2013 there where 2 books: "Her Majesty's Secret Service" is the bootlg-discography and stand seperately.
The "Collector's Discography" is relaunched at the moment and will be seperated in 2 parts (singles and longplayers. Each part will hav about 250 pages (large format, coloured of course). But it will last a few mont'hs until I can finish this.
To Adam: Hopefully you don't mind that I used your label scand of the Belgium Testify-7".
Thanks to you all and Keep Yourselve Alive and collecting
Andreas
I think, I can finidh the Roger-7"ers this week. The Cross will follow and finally (that's again a bit more I will add the Freddie-stuff.
Again: If anyone of you has got additional information, please post it at 45cat.com
Just wanted to add my thanks for you taking the time to do this. I'm in the process of re-sorting out my collection and this has been an invaluable resource for checking the different variants.
I've added comments on a few that I've got that aren't listed, but it's amazing how comprehensive it is.
Hello Andreas, just wondering if we can expect to see your revised "Collector's Discographies" for sale any time soon? I'm looking forward to getting such a comprehensive resource for collecting.
Hey Folks!
In the last weeks many of you asked me about a new printed version of the discography. In the last years I always had 2 books. "Her Majesty's Secret Service" ist a pure bootleg-discography and it's still updated and available, but I guess, that this is "another chapter"... :-)
Since July last year I'm working very hard on a complete relaunch of the "Queen Collector's Discography". There will be 2 different books of this one in fute. The "Part 1" is the single-discography, which includes all 7"/12"/CD-Singles of Queen and Queen-Solo stuff. This book will be complete inbetween the next weeks and it will have about 250 pages. It's completely different and much more detailed than earlier works., whicvh some of you might know. I'm at the Queen-con every year with the books.
I guess I will ask abou 35 pounds (40 €) for each book. Although this is much money, this is not a commercial work. It's simply extremely expensive to print out the books. I always produce them when they are ordered, so everyone who orders it, will receive an updated issue with the last information.
I always wanted to "produce" the perfect discography, which of course is impossible. But at least the best band in the world should have the best discography in the world... It's impossible to do that "on your own". I need help from as much other collectors as possible. So I'm not only a Queen-collector, I'm also a collector of information. At the moment my external harddrive has list ca. 70.000 (!!!!!) different images of Queen-items (not 70.000 items, 70.000 images... front-cover, back-cover, labels, etc.).
I'm using 45cat which is the perfect platform. I guess even Brian likes this. He linked 45cat on his soapbox.
But there's still even more on this platform. If you go to link you can also look for every other format (12", CD-Single, LP, CD...). I didn't work on this yet and will start with 12"ers soon. And again I need help. Please look at you 12"ers and post them. Even if you don't have the skills to upload pictures it would be great if you could list bthe information (tracks, cat-no, producer and so on). It's much work for 1 single person... And many 12"ers are very hard to find., Especially Italian and spanish items seem to be very rare...
The additional information on 45cat/45world help me to improve the books. Thanks to all of you who contributed and visited the page.

And just an additional message. I found this one on another website. It's from Belgium. Could be a testpressing, but seems to be a mispress. Nevertheless very unusual...
