Lovely stuff. My only comments:
No mention of the Smile Doin All Right which I think merits mention, as do the other Smile tracks - especially Blag in the Son & Daughter piece. And perhaps rather than repeating the Beeb and Acetate info, tackle the released Beeb album next as an official release, and the bonus Q1 EP in one section. But I understand why you've done it like that for when a person wants to jump to one specific song. Kudos for not mentioning the collectors by name too.

I intend to tackle Smile (and all the pre-Queen bands) as separate chapters, so it will be covered eventually.
Thanks for your comment

There's ( according to Neil Kernon) some unreleased Mike Stone studio banter that maybe needs a reference here.
Mike was one of the funniest people I have ever met. As Brian said, there were always hilarious comments from him, slated across all the tracks when doing backing tracks.
One I remember was originally right before "Now I'm Here" where Mike said, in his inimitable, very dry voice "Ok chaps, let's have some

All of that is very interesting, but isn't related to the Queen début album at all. It's worth including when the 'SHA' chapter gets written, though.

This also begs the question:
Is this (and the subsequent parts) a precursor to a release of the Fanthology tracks?

Thank you very much for this! It's really wonderful.
Has anyone provided you with the catalog numbers of the 2011 Hollywood releases? I don't own them but I'll check a few shops this week.

It is heartening to see that Jam Monkey has received such a large number of positive comments and contributions to his excellently researched feature.
DudeofQueen: As regard to a definitive Fanthology "release", I don't think it would be "out of school" to say that plans are afoot, but please remember any such set/s would NOT include the officially released Queen album itself; but would be a complimentary companion, as it were.
Therfore as an addition to JamMonkey's list; can I add a personal request by asking what you (the great Queenzone public) think are your personal favourites (or the "definitive" track versions) of the first album are?
Would you vote for a complete album (such as the original Japanese release or the UK 2012 re-issues) or would you say that track-by-track (starting with Keep Yourself Alive) is better on one edition but that Modern Times Rock and Roll is better on another?
I know that this is a completely subjective and arbitary request, but it may make reveal some interesting results.
(Indeed; I think I will start this idea a new thread and leave JamMonkey's as a seperate entity).
