Innuendo. Vinyl.

I think I heard once that some Brazilian or Argentinian copies of the CD included the vinyl edits?


I have the Brazil copy of Innuendo, by EMI, and this version uses de 53 full version of the album!

Another question is the MIH vinyl

If only exclude the track 13, and they really cut this, the album counteins 47 minutes, but despite this, they also edit i was born to love you, heaven for everyone, and you don't fool me, why this???

I don't recall any massive effort or promotion at the time of Innuendo's release to highlight that the CD was longer, which to me calls into the question that it wasn't a marketing ploy to get people to buy the CD, and more that it was simply a case of keeping the vinyl to a reasonable audio quality.

I dont know if this happened in any other country but the mexican cassette version of Innuendo have the same edit as the vinyl.

I seem to recall that my cassette copy of The Miracle was also edited, may this was the norm.

Really? Never even noticed this.

If the choice is between slightly lesser audio quality and editing songs - just fucking release the album on a double LP. Never really understood why they chose to edit the songs instead, it's a shame.

AFAIR my cassette wasnt edited, the only difference is that it didnt had the scandal remix, hang on in there and chinese torture were also removed.

"Costs more money" - Freddie Mercury, at the times of Queen Rocks.

I like that there's a difference, some small detailes to discover when putting on the LP. Also the track order...

It was due to the heavy inner groove distortion that the record would have suffered from. That being said, the album could have likely been reshuffled to prevent this.

There was no need to butcher Bijou.
