QUEEN'S first E.P. - Record Store Day list of CD owners

Thanks everyone so far who's replied so far...this has actually gotten a bit interesting.

Just a note - I've been in contact with Jen Tunney who's graciously given her numbers -- and she has also emailed Brian to see if he has a copy (or multiples).

Anyway...keep 'em coming !!

So, what... that's it?

It's a fairly cheap CD Single that is very cleverly put together.  Where are our regulars and why are they not buying?  Thumbing your noses at Brian and spending your money on Maroon 5 CDs instead?  I understand not rushing out to get the new Montreal DVD coming out in six months, but...

C'mon fatty, John Stuart, Barb, Richard, P_G, Zebonka, Ducksoup, even Greg Brooks and he probably gets his free!!!    Peel yourselves away from the digital side and don't be afraid.  You'll probably never play it, but it looks cool.  It will sit on your Queen shelf for years and years and probably never be worth much more than half of what you paid for it... but it looks cool.

I'd buy it for a normal amount - I'm not paying $25 + shipping or whatever they're going for at the moment on eBay for a single which sold for $8 or something less than a month ago

I have a near mint UK 7" copy.
No need for a cd...

Well I have the original vinyl single and one on cd-single but I bought the RSD version after seeing a picture of it here on Queenzone.
The single LOOKS stunning as if it's a real vinyl single. Also the back of the single is rather odd... it's not "silver" but black. All just like a real vinyl single.
If you can get you hands on it, just buy one I'd say!

I haven't opened my copy. Any chance of a link to the post containing the picture of an open copy.
Thanks

C'mon, Ducksoup, that's a weak excuse.

Are you serious? (I doubt that). But let's say you ARE being serious.
I'll give you a serious reply: Queen's first EP contains music wich was recorded on analogue format.
In my opinion (and many other people who prefer vinyl over cd) the most natural and logical format
to listen to that type of recordings would be vinyl.  

Being the owner of a near mint original 7" copy with beautiful original artwork on 7" sleeve in all honesty, I can't think of any reason to buy a limited edition cd single. In my eyes that's an inferior copy of the original one (wich is lovely) To me personally, I doesn't make sense at all to buy such an item.

#1337 and #1343 are here in Odessa (Ukraine) :)

Well, that's one point a view.

But then I don't just own the News Of The World album.  I have the UK & US pressings, three different cassette versions, the EMI CD, the Hollywood re-issue, the MSFL CD, and an 8-track.

It made sense to buy all that stuff to me, but I should have just stopped with the album, eh?

Just got another copy......a very low 0026.

Another one one my account. :)
