Hi,


Just posting a topic to see what kind of acetates there out there. I own about 25 of Queen and some solo ones.

Which ones are know (I am compiling a list of them for record collector)

So what I need to know :

- Name of the manufacturer ( e.g. abbey road, trident, townhouse)
- Content and lenght of the tracks
- Does the content differs from the official releases
- Date of the production
- Specific remarks...
- If possible a picture of the item


I will make my sum up this week ! With pictures.
Though I don't own any myself I've tried to collate some info for you :)

There's a good page with info here:

Hope this helps!
Property Of Queen Productions...
7.19 minutes?
Please tell us why it is that long!!!
I've got a test pressing of Hot Space, but I don't know whether it contains the alternate Cool Cat, since I've never played it :P

Wow, a 14 inch record! Thanks for posting the pictures ghostwithasmile, I'm intrigued as to what a 7:19 "Fat Bottomed Girls" is like!

7:19 version of FBG???
this need to be leaked!!!
It could just be Bicycle Race combined with Fat Bottomed Girls. The track times line up - 3:01 and 4:16 with a two second break in between.
Queenzone is overrun with trolls and circling the drain - join us here instead: http://queenforum.net
yeah, as usual the Wiz has it...
@Rick= if u ever do play that acetate, do it at a studio, record it with proper equipment and then, later on, throw a party :)
This sounds like a ruse; a line thrown in the water with a littl ebait on the end in the hope that a certain someone from North Of The Border will photograph 'the most prized'......

Doubt it.

No it's not ! Because of :

1 I want to know which acetates are out there - for me as a collector. Acetates are barely noticed in the discographies , and there is little information about it... Just want to make a total picture.

2 I am 10000% sure the Hangman does not excist! So I don;t need any proof or a fake picture spoiling this topic with this kind of nonsence ! The thing does not excist I am sure about this !

Keep watching a very very very exciting Acetate will be shown here within days !
that sure??? you'd be surprised if you knew what some people out there (& in this forum) have at home
