Just before the BBC documentary "The Making Of...", I wonder if Bohemian Rhapsody holds the record for the musical track released on the largest number of officially available formats?

I make that 21 different formats. Are there any more?
(No - DVD-R or CDRW do not count - as they must be formats that could be bought over the counter).
No sheet music either!

That sure is a lot of formats!
I guess really holds that record. I think I even read about it in a FC-mag.
Here are some more:
'78rpm-single. (South Africa)
Video CD
10"-acetate
There also seems to be a "CED" (no idea what that is supposed to be) of Greatest Flix.

What 12" single?
PG: The 1992 re-release b/w Days Of Our Lives...
Philipp: Are these the same?
5" Phillips disc (PCM?) & Video CD
I have one - it looks exactly the same as a DVD - but pre-dates it by a few years.
That makes 25 different formats?

What about other types of digital formats, other than mp3? I'm thinking before mp3.

If the Phillip's Disc refers to the VCD-issue of around 1994 then they're the same indeed. Sorry for causing confusion.
I don't remember ever seeing a 12" in 1991.
Ron's site doesn't list it either.

It was definitely released on CD and 7" vinyl in 1991, but almost certainly not 12" format.
Would a promo release count in this instance?

The milking of the cash-cow!
OK - I need to look out my one.
Perhaps I am thinking of the wrong disc, but I am positive I have a "BO Rhap" as 12" track (not the main track - but on 12" nevertheless) so I will need to look it out.
But that's what happens when you get old!

I'm not sure what it would solve, but it would remove a fair chunk of John's credibility if it turned out that's the 12" he was thinking of!

It's not that bad. This is a list of various different releases (albums, video compilations, singles) and they weren't all released at the same time, but within some 30 years.
