I understand what standalone means. What I'm saying is that being part of the SHA medley actually makes Lily of the Valley run longer, as the track begins with 'Baby you've been had', which is technically the final line of Flick of the Wrist. By removing that element and making it solely Lily of the Valley, they would be making it start from the first bar of piano, thus cutting off 2 seconds of the song.

^^ true. Lazy CD track cue points has made a mess of identifying actual track lengths although it is very easy to hear where they should start. It's been a perennial problem!

But not 5 seconds like said above.
I'm afraid that it is simply the 'butchered' version of the Now I'm Here B-side single.

It´s only put the usa standalone of LOTV, of KYA 75 single!! for god´s sake QP, do this!!
Looks like a bunch of people being entitled wankers. I hope it doesn't discourage Brian and Roger from continuing to put stuff out.

You're right... The fans shouldn't actually say out their opinions about anything.
It might hurt the feelings of Brian and Roger!

The fans should at least appreciate that they got a previously unheard song and the freaking Rainbow concert in full over the last two months. I don't think anything would ever be enough to satisfy some of these brats.
The only misleading thing about the 'Forever' promotion was their description of 'new takes on old songs' - it was probably just talking about Love Kills and There Must Be More To Life..., but they should have been more thoughtful/specific about it. Other than that, it's been advertised as nothing but a compilation of old ballads, likely with ONE new song, for the last year. I'm pretty sure some people had just merged the compilation idea with the 'Made In Heaven II' idea which Brian has referred to. So, when the compilation's tracklist was revealed, people were unfairly mortified that it wasn't the new 'Made In Heaven', which was never implied to have anything to do with the compilation.

"Lily of the Valley" on the Singles Collection Box #1 is a stand alone version.

In relation to your first point, I think fans have been virtually unanimous in the appreciation of the Rainbow release. Expressing opinions (albeit some in a far more coarse way than others) on the 'Forever' release is a different issue.
Although we won't know until we hear the full tracks, based on the samples so far feel that they've not been honest either. The press release addresses the three new tracks, and then goes on to reference "THE REST OF THE PACKAGE" when talking about "new takes on well-known songs". Even if it is things like the b side version of Lily of The Valley, this isn't "new" as it was (as stated above) only fairly recently released on the singles box. I fear we may well be victim of a Queen press release using misleading or incorrect wording again.

Ah I see. Yeah, there aren't really any 'new takes' - it's fair for people to be disappointed in that. I'd forgotten how it was worded, my mistake.
It couldn't have been referring to Lily of the Valley anyway, unless that classes as a 'well known song'.

Yes, but as said earlier, that is the butchered Now I'm Here B-side version.
The 'real' standalone version is on the 1975 US Keep Yourself Alive single.
