Hello everybody, link
As most of us are aware, those red panties were painted on...however, what ever happened to the original copy of the single? If I'm not mistaken, the only reason why those panties were painted on was because the Americans didn't like it very much...which sucked. I'm just curious if the band had to censor that picture only in the United States, or did they censor it in all the territories? I have yet to this day be able to find one of these singles without the red panties...can anybody enlighten me? Thanks...
Take care,
Steve
According to Queenpicturehall, the US censorship consisted of a bit of string across her back so that she wasn't topless!
Superb - the land of hardcore porn gets its knickers in a twist about the back of a topless woman...
I'm sure I remember seeing a picture of an actual single with a pantyless bird on it, but until that turns up this is the next best thing. I think it was an ad in Record Mirror from the time: link

On one of the many Queen documentaries shown here on UK TV over the past few years (I think this one was called "Killer Queen!") - the producers were able to track down one of the women in the race and stage an interview. Roy Thomas Baker was also shown talking about the return of the bikes to Halfords afterwards (they changed the seats before looking to sell them in their stores). A bit of the race was shown in colour, which of course is available on Greatest Video Hits 1.
