Now THAT is a problem worth complaining about. A wee woman upside down is nothing, but crap print altogether is an issue.

Why should people not make a notice of this? For some who are perfectionist and spend their money on a batch of Remasters, Deepcuts, Wembley etc (just to have it all) this feels like the same referring to the post, that was deleted, on Brianmay.com about bass drum in 'Jealousy'. " So... what are you guys moaning.... just be happy!" These are just small mistakes, but totally also looking at the points at Wembley 25th, this is not 100% professional

You mean completist not perfectionist.

I still don't know what is meant by the Totem Lady? There is a possibility that it was incorrect on the previous issues and has been corrected for this one?
I think we should be grateful that Queen have paid more attention than EMI did when handling the 1999 Bowie reissue - whole songs were missing (well, one) and several intros and outros were missing. Mistakes that haven't been corrected since.

Check the cover artwork for "Pain is so close to pleasure".

Ah right. That's basically the whole original LP inlay upside down then? That's pretty bad.

You mean completist not perfectionist. both.... perfectionist who know every single songdate, bell, ring, basskick on a song and listen to them so accurate with a 400 dollar headphone.

<--------------------------That's the "totem lady" there on my profile pic.
Though, I have to say, this thread is the first time I've heard her called that. I believe a more accurate description of what she's doing is dancing, as in a club, with coloured lights (the orbs shapes around her head) and a misty "magic" around her(similar to the magic in the AKOM video). I used to think she didn't have arms, but then I got the larger PISCTP sleeve and you can see her left arm is raised up to shoulder height, making it hard to see from the angle drawn and her right arm is pointed straight up. It's as if she's twirling on the spot, her hair flying about her.
I never called her anything, but "Dancing Woman" might suit her better.

When you said check the artwork on the PISCTP - of course I looked at the LP and that song title is written next to a skull. I was confused to say the least.
I really don't like the AKOM artwork - reminds me of an official t-shirt I got at the time and it lasted one wash, while my friend's poor imitation copy is still going strong.
I can't wait for the Wembley boxset with the blow up freddie.

You're right...it's pretty clear that she's dancing - though as a kid I used to think she was tied to a totem pole and for some reason stuck to that image since then. I should probably talk to my doctor about that... ;)

"Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the "totem lady"-image on the backside of the back cover inlay is actually printed upside down!? "
On mine, the Deluxe Edition sticker on the case is upside down too. Every copy in HMV was the same. Only on THIS album.
