But "Crazy little thing" was not extended so cant really be treated as a true 12 inch version single.[/QUOTE]

The question in the opening post was [QUOTE]"What was the first 12 inch Queen single?"[/QUOTE]

Where do you see the word "extended"?

In the 1980s many bands had extended versions of the 7in single version so the 12in single was born.

I've got a WWRY / WATC Elektra promo 12" from 1977.

There was also a FBG / BR one the following year.

I agree, but I understand the skepticism expressed by "TQ".

Like me, you are just a lunatic troll. LOL

The 12" single was actually born from the Disco explosion. As a format it was promoted a long the lines of 'Disco Special' featuring enhanced quality and mainly used by rock bands as an extra format for their regular cuts. Somewhere along the line someone thought - 'lets make this longer!' and collectors everywhere got boners (and wide-ons) at the prospect of multiformatting singles.

So the format came first, the 'extended 12" version' came later.

Wow, you catch on quick! Considering this had only been mentioned 4 times (!) in this very topic before you posted, once again, your claim that Radio Ga Ga was the first...

I do that with 95% of your posts.

Your reply also helps explain your ignorance. Thanks for the clarification.
