Lordy, thanks for the link, but I really can't navigate around that site, due to my inability to read Czech :-(
How pricey would the shipping be, in US$ / CDN$?

I just pre ordered Queen's re-release of GOFLB... don't know if I pre-ordered it or bought it, but either way, it'll be coming in the mail.

I'm really sorry, I was hoping the language selection is being sent as part of the URL, it looks like it's set as a cookie and the default language is czech :(
Here's a tip : go to http://www.bontonland.cz , click the british flag, and put "queen vinyl replica" into the search field.

There's more pix of my collection here, though still not all of it :-)
hello, the KYA pictured on the left of your image is from Canada (the one with WEA white company cover) not from USA.
I just thought this information could be useful for you. ciao!!

Oh ha! Cheers, I didn't notice I made that mistake! I got it listed correctly on my collection list however.

As regards canadian pressings it's quite strange that LIAR was not issued there, I've never heard any report of it. I always thought that they followed the USA ELektra decisions. Another great rumour is the existance of a red mercury label of the SMILE single made in Canada. But probably this is just legend.

Thanks! xD
There's some more sweet items coming in the mail hopefully within the next 1-2 weeks from Japan :-)
Will wait till those come in so that I can take pics of them at the same time with some of the other stuff still needing to be photographed.

Hmm, you do make an interesting point.
However, I've been lucky enough to come across Canadian copies of the Starfleet single AND the Man From Manhattan single, both here in town quite incidentally! (from the same store too, although there's other record stores I've found some other nice Queen items at as well...)
So who knows what could happen.
But the US Liar single itself is very rare too, so going by that reasoning, any Canadian copies would be even harder to find.
However, I could strike gold any day, who knows? :-)

My latest great discovery:
Queen Greatest Hits LP USA Elektra 5E-517 (withdrawn)
Making a research on Elektra discography you'll see that the 5E-517 catalogue number is missing. Well, to be precise you can verify that no commercial release appeared with this cat. no. With the number after, the 518, many of you got in their hands a copy of the Queen's Flash Gordon soundtrack LP in the USA Elektra version.
In November 1980 EMI uk planned to release the first Queen Greatest Hits. The stopped everything and then decided to release Flash Gordon, postponing the Greatest Hits in 1981.
As for the UK, you can find first promotional campaing informations for the cancelled 1980 issue with sleeve proof and test pressings vinyl, also in USA an advance promotional LP was also found clearing the
mistery of the missing catalogue number 5E-517. It's more likely a test pressing even if you read the assigned cat no.
The track list is different from the one that everybody find in the known GH LP (Elektra SE-654) with Flash and Under Pressure missing and different track position..
I've been buying doubles and triples of singles lately, if the price is right.

Not so much a purchase really, but I got this in yesterday from Hollywood Records along with two Cosmos Rocks t-shirts and some ROTC posters (I believe all the Street Team members got these as a thank-you for the work we did last year)
