From the News pages today (Tuesday, May 9th, 2006): "Exclusive News From The Queen Fan Club Convention During his question and answer session at the Queen Fan Club Convention, The brilliant Greg Brooks, Queen's official Archivist confirmed the green light has been given for a 10 CD box set of ALL of Queen's Worldwide single release's, the set will include every single released by the band plus every B-Side, Remix, Exteneded Version etc and will be released this year at Christmas. Great News, I can't wait. Submitted by: Lee Watkins" Hmm...first, "release's" should not be a possessive. Otherwise, I'm curious which of "every single released" will get overlooked, forgotten, or otherwise left off. Ten CDs is a lot. At 80 minutes per CD, that's 800 minutes worth of music. Are they planning to include every individual edit and single version? There are, what, four "Flick Of The Wrist"s? What about promo singles, or are they just issuing the mass-market public releases? Be nice to finally get the Elektra "Liar" edit remastered! |

It's about time... this should be a nice warmup to the anthology. The nice thing is, this lets the anthology be completely unreleased tracks. |
Nathan 10.05.2006 01:40 |
It sounds very promisng. If nothing else, it'll allow me to obtain those B-Sides which have long since eluded me. Right, now I did say I was going to sell my Platinum Collection. (goes to market) |
freddie lives 28817 10.05.2006 04:48 |
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Greg said that he's having to fight Brian & Roger to get the edited versions of Liar & It's late on the set as they HATE them!!!! It was originally a 12 disc set, but EMI told them to lose 2 discs - thankfully that means all the crap "You Don't Fool Me" and "Rah" mixes have been removed!! Don't expect BBC Sessions for a while either... though personally I think they should have released those. Typical EMI. As much as I'm looking forward to remastered B sides & Extended verisons - it's just the same stuff we've already got in a new box.... :( Let's hope they use the opportunity to release a new single ("Let Me In Your Heart Again" maybe) to give us something new, and also release some of the unreleased remixes of familiar stuff (like the extended mixes that John once did etc) |

Someone mentioned that there was a single edit of "Bohemian Rhapsody" called "Bohemian Rhapsody" Courte Version that was about 3:30. Can anyone tell me what parts of the song this includeds or doesn't include? |
wembley86 10.05.2006 10:18 |
now will this box set be sold in the US when it comes out too. cause sometimes it takes them awhile to do it. i still havent seen the freddie mercury box set here. i know you can buy it on ebay but no credit card to purchase it and my boyfriend is buying it for me, but i would love to see it in the stores like best buy. |
Roy ® 10.05.2006 10:40 |
It all sounds very expensive ;) |
mystic_rhythms 10.05.2006 12:37 |
It will all depend. I've seen box sets this size go for at least $60 here in the US. I wouldn't be too worried about the price. It would be interesting to get every single and b-side Queen ever released. That will be a real treat for those who haven't heard them all yet. I hope there's no shortcomings, though... |
The Freddie Bigotes 10.05.2006 15:49 |
Why a Singles Box??? Why not a 70´s Concert??? Perhaps i will buy the box hehehe.... Cheers ¡¡¡¡ |

Mr Faron Hyte 10.05.2006 16:50 |
The most astonishing thing about that news post is that someone referred to Greg Brooks as "brilliant". But, yeah, that 10 disc box set will sell "through the roof" I'm sure. Just like that 12 disc Freddie set. Millions out there with a couple hundred bucks to put down for it. Multi-platinum all around the world, you heard it here first. |
scprof 10.05.2006 19:57 |
If they are going to release a singles Box set, they should have an all or nothing approach to it. If it was released as a single, put it in the set. Even if it is crap. It then stops fans getting bootlegged stuff that they make no money off. |
Deacons 1st Choice 10.05.2006 21:19 |
Let me just say that i am unmoved by this news. I am not a fan a this sort of thing, which is just yet another "repackaging" and "rehashing" of things all of us probably already all own! I suppose the completist will insist on buying it....but i doubt i will. Im not a fan of CD's to begin with anyway..... Bring on Brian's book!! :) |

I think after this, there will be another wonderfull thread here on Queenzone about the missing traks, but we´re already used to that kind of service by EMI. Take care |

Call me crazy but having an officially released (and remastered) version of "A Human Body" will be worth the price. |
Nathan 13.05.2006 02:59 |
How many official B-Sides did Queen release? |

OK, based on the information that most of the YDFM mixes are out, here is a list of all the non-album versions that have appeared on ANY single (promo or otherwise) anywhere in the world.

Penetration_Guru 13.05.2006 10:59 |
I know GB said that the Rah mixes would be out, but I'd expect a couple of each of UP & YDFM, so it averages out. Presumably there will be a disc of Queen+5/Vanguard/Kerry Ellis/George Michael/Crazy Frog, also. I've left out various mixes that appeared on albums (Classic Queen edits & most of the Hollywood mixes), and all solo stuff. |
YourValentine 13.05.2006 11:21 |
I think they will put anything which was ever a single on this box to fill the 10 discs. For example Mustapha was a single in some countries with the b-side "Dead on Time" or "Only Seven Days" - that makes one A-side and two B-sides. By this system you can put virtually any song on the box and make us buy all the same songs over again - as usual. It's not a bad idea to put all singles on a CD box, if it would be just the non-album edits. |
Serry... 13.05.2006 11:46 |
Love Of My Life (live) and other live B-sides from LK, Houston, Rainbow, recent Sheffield single... And I think they'll add something like long lost re-takes of KYA... EDIT: +Queen Talks :) |
Penetration_Guru 13.05.2006 12:57 |
I included the Rainbow/Houston B sides, but not the LK stuff cos it's all album versions, and no QPR stuff for the same reason. It's quite likely that YV is correct and we will see album tracks because they were singles in Nicaragua - anyone fancy putting THAT list together? |
TruePar 13.05.2006 13:01 |
US - We Will Rock You (Fast Live) promo edit. 3:07 (1979) EU - We Will Rock You (Live 86) promo edit. (1992) Also - I swear I heard an alternate Canadian edit of Heaven For Everyone back in 1995. |

Penetration_Guru 13.05.2006 15:27 |
...which is why LOML is on the list...first section. I've already also spotted Bo Rhap (Karaoke) on a Japanese CD single Bo Rhap (edit) on a French 7" |
Serry... 13.05.2006 15:36 |
Oops, sorry! Funny How Love Is (stand alone) 2:50 Keep Yourself Alive (US edit) 3:29 God Save The Queen (American B-side of KYA 1975) WATC with Bush One Vision (US promo edit) Queen Talks Thank God It's Christmas (HR) maybe... Well, I give up! :) |
Penetration_Guru 13.05.2006 17:27 |
1. Don't give up, otherwise it's just the idiots... 2. Queen talks isn't music 3. TGIC (HR) isn't on any single, it's on a 65 minute disc.. I think I need to edit the original post... |
JeroenG 13.05.2006 19:30 |
Thank God It's Christmas from Israelian 12" ? But then you could count various remixes that appeared on 12" promotional/DJ records too. Like UP club 2000 mix, UP club 2002 mix, IWTBF DJ remix (which was on some kind of 12"), IWBTLY (SFB remix), etc.... Not were we're waiting for that, but ok... |
Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) 13.05.2006 22:59 |
Add Flick Of The Wrist US Edit onto that one. From the Elektra US single release of Killer Queen. |
Penetration_Guru 14.05.2006 11:10 |
That's the "single edit" on the list!!!! As for the TGIC ISraeli mix, I never saw it as official for some reason, ditto all the DJ mixes, mashups etc. |

Oh for fuck's sake. The (HR) in brackets indicates that it's the Hollywood Remix. Which was not on A Winter's Tale, but was on the interview disc on the 3 disc Greatest Hits box that Hollywood chucked out. I know I'm going to have loads of omissions, but I'm mainly being picked up on mistakes I haven't made....hence my frustration. |

It's on the "A Winter's Tale" single. I believe every track on "The Works" ended up being an a-side or a b-side, so if the singles box includes every track released on a single, we'll be essentially buying "The Works" all over again. Which seems kind of funny to me. |

Good list. Well labeled. The only 'exclusive' QUEEN track version issued here in Argentina (if you do not count some promo megamixes) was the I Want It All 3:49 edit which was released in 12" single and also in cassingle. It was 'made-up' here because the local engineers somehow lost the masters of the single version and the single could not be delayed. It was not meant to be and should remain 'obscure'. By the way, the Good Company edit could not be regarded as such. It comes from a faulty release of the A NIGHT AT THE OPERA CD which has the last few seconds from all tracks missing. Pure crap anyway. |
[ Wybren™ ] 16.05.2006 15:11 |
The worst remixes 74) We Will Rock You (12" Promo Ruined Remix) 75) We Will Rock You (Ruined Instrumental) 76) We Will Rock You (Effects Instrumental) 77) We Are The Champions (Ruined Remix) 78) We Will Rock You (Clap A Cappella) 79) We Will Rock You (Big Beat A Cappella) 80) We Will Rock You (Effects A Cappella) 81) We Will Rock You (Scratch A Cappella) 82) We Will Rock You (Ruined Remix) Each time I hear them it makes me vomit:P;) I will be disappointed if they leave out the Rah remixes for example the Mike Spencers remix, I prefer it to the original version. But I will buy the box anyway... can't wait. |

I don't know, man, they ain't great, but if you put a gun to my head, I'd listen to the WWRY mixes over the "You Don't Fool Me" mixes (except the Late Mix...I don't hate that one). Pull the trigger if I have to listen to the "Flash" mixes. I included every single version I know of, good or bad, just show exactly how many alternate versions. I listed everything that doesn't appear on an original studio album (plus the BBC CD). There are other versions/mixes out there, but they weren't on singles (that I know of). There are also the online singles, available at the Official Download Store. I figure since they're listed as "Singles" they deserve inclusion in the list. |
