I have a mispressed vinyl copy of the "News of the World" album which plays the same both sides. Years ago I tried to investigate; got hold of the guy who managed EMI's pressing plant at Hayes, who said there may have been 40 pressed, but believed most woukd have been caught - so maybe only 1, 2 or 3 escaped.
So, any idea what it's worth and where best to try to sell it (probably too esoteric for ebay)?
I do collect mispressings, got a few in my collection which will see an appearance at some point on the Rare Shares YouTube channel whenever they decide to post the video :)
Speaking of misprints, I have a promo CD of Thunder's Backstreet Symphony, but in fact the CD plays Brian's Back to the Light......and of course every Roger Collector has a copy of Stange Frontier, like I do....

Bizarre to have a promo (so presumably an advance) copy of Backstreet Symphony, which came out in April 1990, playing Back to the Light which wouldn't even have finished being recorded then, before its release in Sept 92. Presumably it must have been a re-pressing of the (fantastic) Thunder debut pressed around August/September 92 at the same time as Brian's cd being made.
You're so right, I must check this again, but it is an advance copy of indeed a stunning album, What I do know it is not a re-pressing, I shall look it up en will return with the correct answer. Have pity with an old man ;-)
Damn, now I have to go through all my CD's....haha
I have a pressing of an album called Queen + Paul Rodgers that features a recording of some MOR music band from what I'm guessing is Ohio.
Funny. It even has photos of Brian and Roger with a guy wearing hair plugs.
I wonder what it's worth. The music isn't very good however.
Never heard of Thunder. Thanks for the post. I'll look into then. Always great to hear suggested music from contemporary queen fans.
Well Matt, you can't go wrong with Thunder, very harmonic guitar based music, Danny Bowes is true performer and Luke Morley is a keen May adapt. Their Christmas shows are a nutt cracker with the occassional Queen cover. Not only their Christmas show is worth to mention, their live act is quite soild!
That album you're talkin' 'bout is that perhaps,Tthe Cosmos Rocks, the Saga after Mercury can and will continue, if so, by any chance a good album? Hair plugs or ear plugs....that's everyone's question...

yep David, what Jacques said, misprint in the booklet and the CD. On the Thunder subject, cmsdrums, you're right, it is the CD single of Too much love will kill you, Brian's versions which plays Thunder's Backstreet Symphony............A May misprint or a Thunder misprint?
Tom
So actually no helpful suggestions; I already discounted ebay etc as I think a double A sided vinyl album is a bit too esoteric for that. I had hoped to get some useful insight from a serious Queen forum as to where best to attempt to sell what is obviously a very rare Queen artefact. Not sure about Marktplaats, but isn't Alibaba for Chinese goods being sold en masse? Sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick, but I'm really looking for the best way to get it in front of some serious Queen collectors.
I have a mispress of Queen Forever!!!!!
On track 3, "There Must Be More To Life Than This", instead of Freddie a squeeking Mickey Mouse sings parts of the song and doesn't hit the notes!

Mickey Mouse was Freddie's favorite singer, and Brian is proud to be working with an animated character of such standing to bring the works of Queen to a new audience. Brian also emphatically rejects the image of Mickey Mouse presented by the makers of South Park. The new tour with Mickey Mouse on vocals will hopefully reach a new audience, 8-11 year olds, and may or may not feature Donald Duck on bass to replace John Deacon (negotiations pending). To those people who question the integrity, quality or, for that matter, sanity, of the new project, Dr. May referred to as "hateful nay-sayers who don't understand the talent and genius of Mickey Mouse. Just a bunch of badger-culling, stereoscopy-dissing snobs, really. This is exactly what Freddie wanted us to do all along, and anyone who claims otherwise can look forward to a phonecall from our lawyers."
It's totally not a mispressing..............but I have the ULTRA RARE 3-disc edition of the Jazz 2011 deluxe remaster! lol............
For some reason there were 2 copies of the first disc where one should have been............
