Don't you think Roger got something when that album was originally purchased? I bought mine at the time of release, but probably would sell it if someone would give me $175!!!! Why is that so wrong? Kick yourself for not buying it. That's what makes collecting what it is. You just totally devalue it cause you're mad at your own ignorance.
I don't have a Honus Wagner rookie card either and that doesn't give me the right to print some up because an original is priceless.
But then you posting that link tells me that really care anyways.
*sighs*
Kids!!! We should have never stopped spanking them.

Okay, microwave - that made me laugh - in a good way. The Honus Wagner thing, I mean.

I do own my fair share of Queen collectibles, such as picture discs, shaped records, mini discs, etc. I've helped put Felix and Loisa through school!
And yes, Roger did get money for this when it was released - that's part of the point I'm trying to make! People sometimes claim that we are cheating Queen out of money if we post "officially released" material.
But "officially released" and "officially available" are two different things.
It's not wrong at all to sell MBADTK for $175. But a frequent conversation with people who request things that are out of print goes as follows:
Requester: Can you upload song x?
Queenzone: Song X IS AN OFFICIAL RELEASE! YOUR CELL AT GUANTANAMO BAY AWAITS!
Requester: My local record store can't order Song X
Queenzone: Did you try ebay? Song X is available for a ridiculous sum of money.
Someday I'd like to own a copy of MBADTK on CD for my collection. However, there are people out there who just want the music. And if it's not available for download for a pound per song off of of the Queen online store, go out and get it. The original release will STILL go for $175, because it's rare, and there is a demand for it as a collectible.
