Tracklist The Singles Collection Volume 2

While I understand the desire not to use too many Japanese sleeves, perhaps the solution given the lack of choice for UP & CAG would have been for one of them to be Japanese, and to drop one of the others (which could be replaced more easily by something from elsewhere.

How do I get my hands on 'Calling All The Girls', 'Put The Fire Out', and 'Machined'?

Are these new tracks?  Just like 'Yoeu'r My Best Friend' on the Singles 1 Collection....are they new?
Proofreader in the house?  Or two?  ( I missed the 'Girls' error when posting on another board)

btw..........."3" might not be so bad for those who want the AKOM nonalbum B sides, the terrific 'Miracle' nonalbum B sides (other than the title track), along with 'Lost Opportunity' and the 'It's A  Beautiful Day' edit.

For this collection,.....maybe someone will send me 'A Human Body' ........I burned it from the 'Complete Works', and have it on a Roger compilation, but why it was not included as a bonus on the cd issue of 'The Game' is beyond me.

Hell..........I'd have dished out money for this 'collection' just to get the soundtrack version of 'The Hero' in a nice and clean CD release, (why that wasn't on the movie CD as a bonus is beyond me also).....but............oh, well...................guess I get to save some money

Didn't Need Your Loving also make the Canadian Top 40?

From what I can find online, it reached 44 in the US, but didn't chart anywhere else.

Its bizarre that they were the biggest band in the world at that point, and on the back of Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Another One Bites The Dust (plus The Game LP), that this really good track just didn't do anything as a single.  Same thing goes for Spread Your Wings after WWRY/Champions/NOTW - poor John - that must be a confidence shaker after two of your best songs get single releases and 'flop'. (relatively speaking)

When we can hear the preview of this one?.

Vol 1 were available one month before the launch

Nice.
I'm looking forward to vol 2 so much that I went and got Vol 1 to tide me over.
Hmm. On the website clicking on the Las Parablas cover produces some odd results.

Thanks Walter!!! better impossible.

Prior to the release of the first box set of CD singles, we tried to get every singles chart position all over the world. The UK and USA charts are easily available as they have kept a good record of chart statistics since the 1950's, but other countries around the world hadn't kept records or never had charts to compile information from anyway.
So we could never establish from anyone if certain singles did indeed reach the top 40.....if they had one of course. This is what happened to [i]NEED YOUR LOVING TONIGHT[/i], although it is said it hit the top 40 in Canada, nobody could verify this not even the record company.
No doubt in a years time somebody will come on here and say that [i]MUSTAPHA[/i] did indeed reach the top 40 in say Yugoslavia.....and that [i]LIAR [/i]was a huge top 10 hit on.........Mars!

I understand the difficulties in obtaining bone fide genuinely 100% accurate data, but in such an example as Need Your LOving Tonight, if there were some sources saying it didn't reach top 40 and some sources saying it did, why not include it anyway?? 
It's a great song that would be heard for the first time by most of the casual buyers the set is aimed at, and it gives Queen another wordwide top 40 single for their stats which cannot be argued against by anyone cos there is no official chart to deny such a claim?!!?

"poor john"... as you mentioned... i think he got his fair share of success through AOBTD... so prob wasn't that bothered. They all had their flops.

Hey Gary, another thank you for these releases. I love cd singles - always have loved the format, and having the cool artwork on these slips is great. My fave so far is Fat Bottomed Girls. Great cover.
Very much looking forward to the Calling All Girls single in the next box, as well as finally getting one of my fave RT songs in A Human Body on CD.

Having heard the samples on the link given, i actually think I will after all buy these box sets. I think the fury which came after the first set was released on the QZ boards actually coerced me into not buying into it... but to be honest, if the samples are anything to go buy... they actually seem pretty well remastered... and that's only going by the samples given.

Do you think the Thank God It's Christmas single will be in the single box 3 ? (I would like that).

along with It's a Hard Life...
