"News of the World" mispressing

I have a mispressed vinyl copy of the "News of the World" album which plays the same both sides. Years ago I tried to investigate; got hold of the guy who managed EMI's pressing plant at Hayes, who said there may have been 40 pressed, but believed most woukd have been caught - so maybe only 1, 2 or 3 escaped.

So, any idea what it's worth and where best to try to sell it (probably too esoteric for ebay)?

It's worth whatever a collector is willing to pay for it.

However quite rare, there are not many collectors who collect these things.

I do collect mispressings, got a few in my collection which will see an appearance at some point on the Rare Shares YouTube channel whenever they decide to post the video :)

Speaking of misprints, I have a promo CD of Thunder's Backstreet Symphony, but in fact the CD plays Brian's Back to the Light......and of course every Roger Collector has a copy of Stange Frontier, like I do....

Bizarre to have a promo (so presumably an advance) copy of Backstreet Symphony, which came out in April 1990, playing Back to the Light which wouldn't even have finished being recorded then, before its release in Sept 92. Presumably it must have been a re-pressing of the (fantastic) Thunder debut pressed around August/September 92 at the same time as Brian's cd being made.

You're so right, I must check this again, but it is an advance copy of indeed a stunning album, What I do know it is not a re-pressing, I shall look it up en will return with the correct answer. Have pity with an old man ;-)
Damn, now I have to go through all my CD's....haha

I have a pressing of an album called Queen + Paul Rodgers that features a recording of some MOR music band from what I'm guessing is Ohio.

Funny. It even has photos of Brian and Roger with a guy wearing hair plugs.



I wonder what it's worth. The music isn't very good however.

Never heard of Thunder. Thanks for the post. I'll look into then. Always great to hear suggested music from contemporary queen fans.

Well Matt, you can't go wrong with Thunder, very harmonic guitar based music, Danny Bowes is true performer and Luke Morley is a keen May adapt. Their Christmas shows are a nutt cracker with the occassional Queen cover. Not only their Christmas show is worth to mention, their live act is quite soild!
That album you're talkin' 'bout is that perhaps,Tthe Cosmos Rocks, the Saga after Mercury can and will continue, if so, by any chance a good album? Hair plugs or ear plugs....that's everyone's question...

WHAT mispressing of Strange Frontier????

Misprint on the 1996 remaster CD, track 1 is spelled Stange Frontier.

yep David, what Jacques said, misprint in the booklet and the CD. On the Thunder subject, cmsdrums, you're right, it is the CD single of Too much love will kill you, Brian's versions which plays Thunder's Backstreet Symphony............A May misprint or a Thunder misprint?

Tom

OK, so back on topic, any thoughts on where I might try to sell my "News of the World" mispressing?

Ebay......Marktplaats, Alibaba and so on.....

Ah. Misprint. Not mispress.
Missed that.
Got all excited there for a moment.

Double A side album. .. nice!
