Alright, down to business. Who's going to the exhibition and can get me a copy? I'll pay a fair price for it. Contact me at info at pimderks dot com.

Is anyone really bothered at all about this?
More material that we've already got countless times already.......

"limited"items were still available weeks after rsd. it is just a trick to sell large quantities. i would recommend to ask the record dealer in your shop if he can reserve one for you in advance.
aside from that i must tell you this: FUCK CD - VINYL RULES!!!!

The term limited refers to the amount pressed, not how long it is available for. If they can't sell all 1000 copies on RSD, then obviously they're still going to be available after the event. No trick involved!
But I agree with your closing sentiment - VINYL RULES!!!

Thorsten, if you manage to get a hold of one (or TWO) extra copies, please let me know. I would very much like to have one.
When is this coming out? During the exposition in February or on Record Store Day in April?
For the Record Store 2009 CD single for Queen's First EP I ordered it online. I searched in those record stores' Website and found one that would take my credit card and mail it to me.

to thistleboy:
yes, i know what they mean with limited editions, but there is a readers letter in record collectors magazin july 2010. it is too long to cite it here completely but it is about very limited records (500 copies) of highly collectable bands, that were available weeks after RSD from the websites of the bands and on the net. "some weeks after the event, i am still able to buy various limited edition copies of RSD record releases on various websites...."and" you can´t tell me that those labels haven´t sold the highly sought after limited quantities mentioned. someone can´t be telling the truth here".
might be different with the queen release but after being a queenzoner for many years i would not give a shit on anything QP says. we´ll see what happens.
to wiley:
hey, we don´t have a recordstore day in berlin (as far as i know) and i won´t go to UK for this. i thought about going at one point but for above mentioned reasons i won´t. maybe you should ask another fellow queenzoner from UK (and get one for me aswell)

I think that particular Record Collector reader is suffering from a little paranoia - my local record store still has various records left over from last year's RSD lol. OK, none of them are what I'd call "major" artists, but they are still available. If the collector in question tried to get Queens First EP, or any of the Radiohead RSD releases weeks after the event, they'd be up a gum tree.

Here is the updated press release for 7" single:
Stormtroopers in Stilettos 7” & Download Single
Released for new exhibition and national record store day
Queen release their two track single ‘Stormtroopers in Stilettos’ as a download on Sunday 27th February 2010 in the week their exhibition of the same name opens, through Island Records. There will be a limited edition 7” release in April.
Featuring two tracks recorded in the early 70’s, ‘Keep Yourself Alive (Long Lost Retake)’ (the original version taken from ‘Queen’) and ‘Stone Cold Crazy’ (from ‘Sheer Heart Attack’), the single is released to coincide with the exhibition ‘Stormtroopers in Stilettos’ which runs at Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane in London for two weeks from Friday 25th February 2010. The single will be available as part of National Record Store Day taking place on 16th April and is limited to just 2000 numbered copies on heavyweight vinyl (more news soon).
Reminding us that Queen could rock hard with the best of them, the two tracks on the single are lightning strikes of adrenalized rhythm, furious guitars and fearsome high wire vocals. Capable of breathtaking rock’n’roll, early Queen has inspired some of the best heavy rock of subsequent decades.
‘Keep Yourself Alive’ was the first single Queen ever released back in 1973 and is now poignantly released on their 40th Anniversary. This is the only Queen single that ever failed to chart in the UK mainly because Radio One rejected it claiming it took long to get going! This new 2011 remaster is a long-lost retake of the track recorded in 1975 for a USA single that never saw the light of day. The original version is taken from Queen’s debut album, Dave Grohl’s favourite album of all time.
Q recently described ‘Stone Cold Crazy’ as “thrash metal before the term was invented”, and the track has been covered by Josh Homme and Metallica amongst others. This was the one of the first tracks that Queen ever played live and the version on the single is a brand new 2011 remaster.

Answers to some comments so far....
-For a second when I first read about this I thought "Stormtroopers in Stilletos" was supposed to be some kind of remix of KYA & SCC. Yikes!
-The website tells you what stores are participating in Record Store Day (http://recordstoreday.com)
-I've been impressed by the rare material available in the past couple of years or so. As for Queen, I'm impressed that they even participate.
-The Queen's First EP from last year was actually pretty cool. The disc was made to look like a vinyl record and it was nice just to finally have it released in the US. I actually found my copy at a Hastings store for $7 or $8 about six months after it was released, but in my area, there aren't a lot of Queen fans (nor are there many Record Store Day participating stores).
-Vinyl IS better.

The announcement states 2000 numbered 7" records to be released.
I bought a copy as a gift for someone on ebay, I cannot see any number on it, should I be able to? (or where is it suposed to be so I can recheck!)

There are no numbers - maybe Island decided against a numbered run.
