Regarding the original topic - It depends what you like. I'm not keen on MIH due to the sound, but I love Hot Space and Jazz because their sound is what they're all about. There was another thread about doing 'dry' mixes or the 80s reverby albums. That would be interesting, but unlikely to replace the originals in my collection. Much like the Bowie 'reimaginigs' they don't hold much for me. Interesting to hear, but only in the same way 'Raw' session versions rarely hold repeated listening interest. Contemporary remakes (such as KYA '75 / BBC sessions) are worthy of inclusion on the catalogue IMO. As would be genuine demo recordings. Essentially 'new' Queen tracks.

I don't think '39 was specifically 1939 was it? Probably 1539.
Or possibly 2139 if it features people being able to head off in space rockets!
As a child I always thought it was a song about WWII because of the year. It still can be more or less read that way. Anyway, now that we have buried the apostrophe, what is next? Comma? capitals?
Same. It's only as I grew I realised it was obviously set earlier. Than then I read Brian's explanation and it all went to shit :)
