No official calendar?

No official calendar?

21.12.2006 13:33		 Does anyone know if there will be an official 2007 calendar out? I usually order mine round about this time of year, but can find no mention of one even on google. I'm getting rather worried!
(Sorry if this subject has been posted before, I did try searching first...)

I'm sorry hun, but I disagree. I have gotten the official calendars for the past two years. I was pleased with the quality of the calendars and the fact that they treated each of the members equally (2 photos of EACH of them solo and 4 photos of the entire band.)
This year, I bought two of the "unofficial" calendars and they both primarily feature Freddie (as if the rest of the guys are just his back-up band). This may be fine for those to whom Freddie is their favorite band member, but I personally resent the implication that the other members are not as important to Queen's success as Freddie. On the other hand, I liked the fact that the photos are quite large and the calendar part is very small. Great for hanging on one's wall. If only they had treated the whole band equally. . .

has it not occurred that any business stops producing stuff that doesn't make a profit...perhaps they just didn't sell enough last few years

Yeah, I agree. I liked the official ones because there were just as many pictures of Brian as there were of Freddie!

31.12.2006 19:54		 I've got a perfect solution for you guys! I've discovered that 2007 is an identical calendar year to: 1979, 1990 and 2001 (of active Queen years) so all you need to do is use one of those years' official calendars!
You're welcome.
