I don't see I Was Born to Love You.  Wasn't that number one in Japan or was that another urban myth?

I bet that I Was Born To Love You will be on one of the Made In Heaven era singles; kind of like how they did Princes Of The Universe with Friends Will Be Friends.  It would work well with Too Much Love Will Kill You.

Well I don't LIKE them, but they definitely SHOULD be released on a singles collection, don't you think ?

Don't we start running into B-side problems with this set? If memory serves then we're going to end up with a lot of repeats or remixes, especially towards the end of the set...

1) Stone Cold Crazy & My Melancholy Blues (live)
2) Bijou
3) Hitman / Lost Opportunity
4) Mad The Swine / All God's People
5) Keep Yourself Alive * ?
6) These Are The Days / Bo Rhap *
7) It's A Beautiful Day (full ver)
8) Thank God It's Christmas * / Rock In Rio Blues
9) We Will Rock You * / We Are The Champions * / Spread Your Wings *
10) Bicycle Race * / Fat Bottomed Girls *
11) Remixes?
12) Princes of the Universe * / Gimme the Prize (instrumental) / We Will Rock You (Rick Rubin's Remix)
13) Under Pressure (Knebworth Mix, Mike Spencer Mix) /  Bohemian Rhapsody * / Thank God It's Christmas *

Those with a * will have already appeared somewhere else in the Singles Boxes.

I guess this is why I haven't bothered buying boxes 2 or 3 yet.

Pittrek, these would not have made it onto the set because:

WATC with Robbie
WWRY with Pink & Beyonce & the third hooker
^ These were never commercially released as singles

AOBTD with Annie Crummer
Solo Por Ti
^These probably would not have charted high enough to count. Unless someone can prove me wrong!

WWRY with the kids
^If you're referring to the Evian version, that would be because that in itself was a cover, even though they re-issued the original Queen version separately at the same time.

It IS strange they didn't include the other definite top 40 singles 'AOBTD' (Wyclef & Miami Project remixes) & 'WWRY' 5ive + Queen,  UNLESS they're gonna tack them onto the b-sides of NOBY and UP Rah Mix - which MIGHT make sense because those both had re-released classic tracks for the most part (and BohRap is already the exception with TATDOOL here).
Until we get the confirmed tracklisting, we won't know until then for sure!

@pittrek:
I was joking :)
I do get your point and I guess you're right, but the previous boxes showed this is not an exhaustive collection.

Before asking where the Annie Crummer single is I would question the absence of Liar, Long Away, It's Late, Mustapha, We Will Rock You (live), Jealousy, etc.

I know some of these don't have picture sleeves, but... wouldn't you LOVE to have miniature generic Elektra sleeves and have the CD label be the butterfly/caterpillar label? :P

They had to make Friends Will Be Friends and Princes of the Universe a double A side single, for Christ's sake.

I haven't got any of these yet. I think I will one day, but it's alot of money to spend as I already have all the versions of the discs, it would just be a case of getting a few on CD instead of vinyl (Back Chat Single Version etc.)

One day....

Didn't they use the Queen Backing Track?  I think I can remember being it being confirmed  by Jim Beach that it was. (or I did I dream it?)

But I suppose that opens a whole new thread, as to what is Queen & what is not. Does it have to be actually be  labled Queen, for it to be Queen?  I don't know.  " Flash" by Queen + Vanguard is Queen?, but  Planet Perfecto's "Another One Bites The Dust" is not?  both are remixes done in the same vain & Feature Sampled Queen. " Who wants to live forever" by Ian & Thingy (you know, that young girl) feature Brian, Roger & Deacy, (even surfaces on the DVD QGVH 2) but is it considered Queen? I would say the latter is more Queen than, say Hollywood records remix of Flash, but the remixed Flash appears on the Album, you get my point.

So could somebody enlighten me as to what is considered to be Queen & What is not..............
Joyful the sound

Can we please not open that can of worms again? This has been a headache for most of us especially since 2004, and quite frankly enough is enough. It's all a matter of personal interpretation anyway, there is no right or wrong answer.

And I'm pretty sure the Evian track used an original backing track, however I'll try and have a listen to it later on if I can find it again.

I don't know why you all seem to think that any Queen + singles are going to make it into this box 4.

This is a Queen singles only project.......has been from the beginning and will be to the end.

Compromises were made, as no repeats of tracks were ever going to be issued again, but I think the end result is excellent for what we could do.
There was only one track that has been repeated in this final box, and I think most of you will know what that is going to be.

And Adam is doing well with his guesses.

Personally i can't wait for this to be finished.
I guess once this is released it kinda closes the door on EMI and opens up the way for new releases from Universal.
Hopefully none of us will be disappointed next year, even if it's just properly remastered albums coupled with a 5.1 surround mix of each and nothing else...
