The truth Queen/"Fanthology"/etc don't want you to know about Queen II

I remember reading that too, Makes you wonder why they shelved it? That story alone would be worth hearing...

I recall Greg Brooks saying a few years ago here that he'd heard unreleased Queen songs in the vaults, including at least one track that he virtually guaranteed could be a number 1 single if released as it was so good.

This clearly confirms that some of the 'left behind' material isn't second rate (although I suppose Brian and Roger might think it is).

It would be nice to know which era this supposed hit single gem comes from, and also to get confirmation that it is a fully completed finished track (it would be difficult to say that it's a great song if it's missing bits or has incomplete vocal parts etc)

Great thread (when on topic) by the way - I hope the original poster sticks around and isn't put off by the nonsense between sensible replies.[/QUOTE]

The first couple of pages were much better reading than what followed. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the flood of ethical debate...

Were you there, with your rarities – which were being used for trades .[/QUOTE]

Without wishing to get too involved in this argument, but surely the rarities being traded were not yours, they belong to QPL? Fair enough you own the media that this copyright subject material exists on, but I don't think Fuller was trading photos or video of your actual vinyl/mini disc/cassette etc...and so wasn't trading anything of yours?!?

Oh I don't own any rarities either. Far more time and money went into it from other die-hard collectors. There's more to the Fanthology than just physical collections; sometimes information is even more invaluable.

Scary to think that GratefulFan, if I am not mistaken, claimed to be a teacher. I'd hate to see her interactions with students who don't agree with her teaching views...[/QUOTE]

Jeez. LOL @ both of you.

Inu's not a member of Fanthology.[/QUOTE]

He doesn't have to be. What is it with people and the horrible reasoning?

[/QUOTE]

Holly's argument was that a member of the Fanthology ratted Fuller out and provided a quote from Inu apparently giving himself away as a member of the Fanthology.

Inu is not a member of the Fanthology.

What is it with people and their inability to read?[/QUOTE]

Finally, some common sense by page 9. Thank you.

More of this please. Back to the subject at hand now.[/QUOTE]

Common sense for people who wanted to shift off the main point of the tattling maybe, which was very much a hive mind back chatter effort of a few of the collectors no matter who phoned it in. Classy to let inu take all the blame for what others on this board clearly supported and clearly benefit from.

Holly's 'your little group' needn't have referred to Fanthology, it could have referred to the little fascist knot of collectors here. That was my point. And it's certainly a wild stretch to characterize his quote as attempting to prove inu was 'giving himself away as a member of Fanthology'. It was of course meant to illustrate that inu had acknowledged reporting on Fuller. You definition of 'common sense' is pretty shaky, unless you mean any sense at all that serves the common goal of collectors.

“It was selfish at first, I wanted a space where I could see my collection, for me and my friends,” he said. But he decided that the art should be shared. After extensive renovations, the building opened as a public art space in 2007.

Classy![/QUOTE]


Sharing of a painting or sculpture is different from sharing music.

A viewer cannot replicate the painting or sculpture whereas music can be downloaded and many copies can be made. Worse still, the people who copy the music can pass on to other people as though he was the original uploader.

[/QUOTE]

What is transferable from the example is the spirit of sharing art for the common good and the elevation of society as a whole rather than for the good of a handful of the elite, and the freedom of inclined individuals to take their collections to the world without being bullied and harassed by those who might have opposing interests.

Many, many great art works of course have been replicated and any of us can own a print at a reasonable price as the value is retained in the original. The music collecting world makes its own rules and could shift the exclusivity and value to original physical mediums, or quality, or completeness as they choose in this internet age. Instead they put on their bell bottoms and party like it's 1979. They can be as grabby and elitist as 2013 will allow them, but just STOP telling me it's in my interest. That's so crashingly bloody insulting.

Yeah. You misread my post and inu thinks I said i was a teacher. I feel so dumb.

OK. I need to be done on this thread because I can feel how annoying it is to other people trying to have a very different conversation. Try not to give me a heart attack by writing stuff it will kill me not to respond to. TIA.

Oh,don't worry, the people actually interested in Queen left a long time ago. As did the topic starter, who was only moaning about such uninteresting things as 20 unreleased Queen songs anyway.. Who needs untalented sods like them when we can have the likes of you and your sparring partners from Phantominatitasmagoriology?

the dictatorial state of Ignoramia -- isn't that a Muse song?

Hi all,

Not forgotten about you. I'm making notes of the questions and will answer them as quickly as poss. Hopefully great behind-the-scenes about AKOM tomorrow.

Having to work lots of overtime at mo. Popping out in 10 again. How the mighty have fallen, eh?

How patronising...
Is that supposed to be big and clever?
