Does CBS still hold the rights to the Mr. Bad Guy material?

If yes, then they should reissue it in the same style as most artists under their label has! But seriously, do CBS still hold the rights?

You mean : Cock, balls and satisfaction' Freddie said to Davis Wigg! :-)

Would QPL/Island not have the rights since it was re-issued in the "solo" boxes in 2000? I'm guessing that's the case as those boxes were issued under the EMI/Parlophone label. Same for Barcelona - Polydor used to produce those, then it was Parlophone in 2000 for the re-issue, but Island for last year's deluxe version.

no, it doesn't, so see that mr bady was released by PARLOPHONE, in the solo box set

I can remember a quote from a book (cant remember which one) that Freddie bought himself out of his solo-project obligation (that started with CBS for a pretty hefty sum at the time) before Barcelona, and presumably the rights to the released album Mr Bad Guy were transfered back to Freddie's company/companies (and later his estate).

Both releases showed up on HOLLYWOOD RECORDS in the us as a measly two pack with bonus 5 track sleeved cd.... no complete collection.


I'm assuming it's under some fm publishing company. .
. Especially since it was a dismal failure


(I really don't like it much.... very uninspired by Freddie s standards)
