Hi Im wondering if anyone has bought this single
i bought it at hmv its the only place ive saw it i dont think this will make the top 40 . it hasnt had much promotion
I bought it in 3 formats, 12", 7" and CD single.. unfortunately the 7" doesn't come out til the 25th so my 'bundle' order won't ship til then :-P
I like the radio mix/video version very much.. true enough to the original while being updated and extra-funky. I like the single artwork too :)

I'm also waiting for my bundle. The mixes are really good. I'm surprised.
Since we have another thread for this, has anyone managed to track down the online-only mixes mentioned on the enhanced CD?
I've trawled a number of sites and the closest I got was a white label with two more mixes.
Anyone any ideas?
I've bought it, its not very good.
I don't often download music, if I do then I download it, and then buy it, but before this was released I downloaded another version of AOBTD from Limewire, having typed in Queen and Miami Project. I must say it is one of the best remixes I've ever heard of anything, but it certainly isn't Queen/Miami project. problem is, I can't find who it is!
Anyway yes I've bought the single and I'm confident it will make the top 40. Its had a few plays on TV and radio.
It sounds very recent.
I know its not Wyclef's. I haven't heard the Planet Perfecto one though.
I wouldn't be allowed to upload it would I, or even send it to someone's Private email?

Did yours ship yet? Mine's still 'pending'. I think the stupid 7" is delaying the whole thing. Grrr. I'd give up the 7" if they'd send the other two, still a good deal at the price :-P

No, not yet. Yes, I also think that the 7" is delaying it. The release of the 7" was planned for 25 December which clearly didn't happen because of Christmas. Let's hope they'll send the bundle today or tomorrow :-|

They look even cooler than I imagined! I didn't realize the 7" was a picture disc and with the original picture! Very nice!

Hehe. I held my breath and checked mine again.. same thing :) Now if they'll just say 'shipped' soon...
ordered all three physical formats.
I strongly OBJECT to having to pay Queen another 99p or whatever just to get a download from the net - that's not fair and sucks of screwing the fans for more money as they know the fans will buy the hard copies.
Hopefully the video footage WILL appear here (it's given away free if you buy the single download), so we should be able to share it. (that's my reasoning anyway).
They should have put it on the end of the CD as well.
Customer service at recordstore.co.uk tells me that mine was shipped on the 28th, though I didn't get the confirmation and it still says 'processed'. Should be here in about a week :)
(and the charge has been posted to my card.. it was $24.53 in case other U.S. customers are interested)

That's true. I just kinda feel nostalgic about it. The AOBTD single was my very first Queen product ever, so having a form of it re-released seems cool.. especially with the 7" being a picture disc and including the original version.
It may also be a chance to finally have a decent long/extended version. I haven't been able to preview the other mixes because the download shop is wanting license even for the previews.. guess their system is messed up :-P
I finally got mine today. They shipped from Switzerland for some reason(?)
I'm not too impressed by any of the other mixes but I do enjoy the long version (vocal mix) of the main one.
I LOVE the clear vinyl 12" though.. that's my first clear vinyl. It looks so cool. And the 7" picture disc looks neat too. Not great for playing though.. lots of surface noise on that one :-P
Overall I think they did a nice job with these singles and the price was more than reasonable.
