Firstly would like to say what a fantastic site you all have here.
Hopefully Im in the right forum.
Just wanted to know the truth about my Highlander Selection CDV I bought back in the 80s.Does anyone know how many were actually made?
I paid £20 at the time,no idea of its worth now (tho not planning on selling lol)
I used to buy loads of Queen stuff back then but have lost touch with whats out there since the Great Mr Mercury sadly departed from us.Finding this site has been a breath of fresh air.

No idea, but it can't have been many - CDV was a very niche format.
As an aside, it would be interesting to see what EMI/QPL's figures were for production quantities for many items - they must know, even if it's well buried info.

I think it's quite an expensive item. I was always intrigued about the song versions contained in the audio CD portion of the disc.

By the way, according to queenpicturehall.com only 50 of those where made.

Dunno if someone these days will still pay £400,- / $400,- for it, but it's a great and rare item nevertheless!

I dont know if the video is the standard A kind of magic video cos never had a cdv to play it on but the audio tracks play on a normal cd player and Im pretty sure they're just the standard album versions.Iv been told it was a very limited amount made but it varies between 30 and 500 so have never known the true number
bloody hell,i didnt realise it was worth that much!
*moves item out of harms way from his collection*
