Saturday and sunday there's a huge "Mega Record & And CD Fair" in Holland and there will also be an auction. The item which will probably be sold at the highest price is A night at the opera from Queen. Go to link for more info. Also an accoustic guitar will be auctioned. See link .
Today I went to the fair and I purchased the following items:
- The Cross - Shove it! - Shove it (side 1), Rough justice (side 2), ("small" record, 45 rpm)
- The Cross - Shove it! - Shove it (extended mix)(side 1), Shove it (metropolix), Rough justice (side 2), ("big" record, 45 rpm)
- Freddie Mercury - Made in heaven - Made in heaven (remix) (side 1), She blows hot and cold (side 2), (small record, 45 rpm)
- The Cross - Mad, bad and dangerous to know - complete album, (big record, 33 rpm)
- Queen - Who wants to live forever? - Who wants to live forever? (7" version), Who wants to live forever? (album version) (side 1), Killer Queen, Forever (side 2) (big record, 45 rpm)
- Queen - Innuendo (explosive version), Innuendo (explosive version) (side 1), Under pressure, Bijou (side 2), 12" Maxi-single, 45 rpm
- Queen, Greatest Hits 3 (big record, 45 rpm)
Whatyathink?
Btw, does anybody know of a good website with information about all the records Queen and solo have produced? Which ones are "rare", what price should you pay for which record etc. and also some info about all the different types (what's a 7", a 12", a maxi-single, an LP, an EP etc) because as you can see from my use of the words "big" and "small" and don't know much about this.
Ps. I did drool a little bit over the A night at the opera awards and the acoustic guitar and some platinum awards that I saw, sorry for the persons who's going to buy it.
link is the site you need. all info you can think of :-)
I bought Remixes (LP), Wembley (LP), Fun In Space (Korean LP, misses two tracks) and 25+ cd's by other artists (Genesis, Beatles, Kate Bush).
"Queen, Greatest Hits 3 (big record, 45 rpm)"
Must be 33 rpm I think, unless you've got a megarare pressing :-) Which one did you buy, the one with or without the plastic sleeve with B+R+J on it ?
there's a book from a guy"andreas voigts"
the "queen-collector's discographie",you can get it via the german queen fanclub,the adress is link
i like it a lot but i think the prices are to high.in my opinion the queen-rarities are not as exspensive anymore than they were 10 years ago.i bought some stuff for about 1/4 of the price at ebay.wait and see.
Ebay is no reference. Sometimes an (extremely) rare item goes for only a few pounds. But indeed, the books in A. Voight's book are a bit to high - about 20% or so I think. But it's still gives a good idea of how rare/valuable an item is.
