Sorry, I have no idea how that happened. It was not deliberate.

Gregs back, yay. Maybe it can get exciting around here again.
Isn`t it possible to avoid this, yet again the same people argue. I`m tired of this.

YOU’RE tired?!
You should try it from my end mate - it's absolutely exasperating!

you know what, I'm going to completely change tack and give Mr Brooks a chance here.
I mean no disrespect to anyone here and this little note is purely a thought.
These rarities that will never see the light of day remind me of those paintings that hang in the private vaults of individuals, never to be seen. I dislike it very much and think the same in the realm of Queen rarities. If ALL rarities don't eventually show up, I think that's horrible.
This isn't to mean that I'm one of those people who wants it all and wants it now! No. I just like to believe that these things won't be lost to those who hold onto them.
And I certainly wouldn't be happy to know that there are people out there that don't wish Queen would be able to recover important items. I don't think QPL deserve anything good or bad. I guess if you have bad blood with them then that's where it might stay. Sad that, though.
Peace,
Adam.

The Earl's Court 7/6/77 material that leaked a while back was crap quality but obviously was leaked from somewhere. So is there a full crap quality version? QP obviously have the master tape of the decent stuff. It is dreadful people horde this material for themselves. It's quite Elitist.
For the people who don't like other people hoarding rarities, and believing them to be elitists, chew on these words which I've changed very, very slightly:
"Also, you might want to explain why YOU did not purchase something, ANYTHING, to become a Record Collector yourself. You could have done, but you didn't. You are one of those people that criticises others but without ever doing anything yourself, aren't you. You tedious person."
If Greg Brooks has no trouble with people collecting, neither should any of you.

I'm not going to side with anyone here.
As it is unsubstantiated by said collectors who say they have it, and Mr. Brooks says that they do not exsist. But who am i to say either way? No where.
But I can understand both sides of it, and as a reply to the above statement this is simply a counterview from a younger fan (myself), to help you chew the fat a bit more, so to speak...
"Yes, you have the right to collect, as does anyone. No disputes here. But what about us younger fans, who wish to become collectors, but don't have the resources to do so? Obviously, you were able to come into contact with someone who held these rareities. But if you hold them to 'never see the light of day' (as you like to say) then whats out there for us younger generation to seek out if these big collectors hold everything? Do what you want with your property, as its none of my business to tell you what to do with it, just simply a view from someone who would have one hell of a time coming across these things. And be not mistaken, I'm not saying that you did not work hard to find them, but it almost seems a shame to let hard work never see the day light for others no?"
And it is a bit frustrating knowing the possibilities of such things are around, but will not be viewed, but I'll have to just accept it, and i see no reason to scream and insult anyone over it, because it wont change anything, except create a rift between fans, over something that brought us together in the first place. Maybe its naive for me to say, but thats how i feel about it.
It also is a bit tiring to see grown adults arguing over these things. I can see why everyone would be frustrated, and perhaps personal things come into play which are none of my business as well. But instead of working together and those who "collect" the "rareities" along with QPL to bring the fans what they want, it amounts to nothing but clawing eachothers eyes out. Perhaps these collectors who keep it for themselves would actually have MORE respect within the community for sharing what they found, rather than seemingly "weilding power" over other traders et al??
Ok, enough of my life takes on this. I mean no malice for anyone, simply a new take from someone whos not directly involved in said squabbles. Thanks for your time.

I haven't been around here very long, but i am sorry to say this but.. This fighting is very boring and childish! I don't know neither person, but i know OF them both. On a popular name fight, Greg Brooks would win. On a personality fight, John S Stuart would win. Why can't Greg Brooks quit being a smart ass to people & give us fans useful information, and why can't John S Stuart quit whining about something that happened over 5 years ago and quit spamming QZ with repeated messages about Greg? Please understand this isn't a personal attack on either person, i do not know them, i am just kind of agravated already.

Ya know, if everyone shared everything, this wouldn't be a problem. Ha-ha.
No one would be accused of lying about what they have or don't have, QP would have an easier time of finding things to put on new releases.
Unfortunately no one would be able to brag about what they've got anymore, but bragging is for football players, not Queen fans.

Exactly, plus the fact that if everyone shared everything, there would be nothing to buy!

I think some of the above press has been a tad unfair.
As for my own take: For years I have been writing on this board. I have always been happy to do my own thing, and to contribute fairly to other posts. I do not need to sell this, as I hope my record, (and the search button) speaks for itself.
Yet, sometimes on occasion, I will contribute positively only to be shot down in flames by Greg. On other occasions, he has started (for no obvious reason) only what I can describe as hate mail to flame me for the fun of it.
How do you think this makes me feel?
I do NOT dislike the man. I do NOT know the man.
Each time he appears, HE begins the problems.
Each time a problem kicks-off, I extend an olive branch, which for some reason only infuriates him more, but I am damned if I will turn the other cheek, every time he kicks off at me.
If this was indeed a fight, I would like it noted, that I do not start them, nor do I attack. I do use self defence – as why should I allow him to continually strike at me? Perhaps a bigger man could walk away, but I am only flesh and blood after all. (Besides, I would be interested to see how other readers were to react if they to were continually provoked after trying to write positive informative replies).
There is NO queenzone rivalry, and there is not grudge or bad blood on my part. I do complain that I feel QPL are very amateurish for such a large company, but surely I am allowed the freedom to hold to that opinion?
This is not a whining ‘feel sorry for me mail’, rather my point is, do not believe that some fierce John S. Stuart vs. Greg Brooks rivalry exists – because it does not on my part. If this appears like spamming, I apologise, but I too am a guest in here, I feel comfortable here, and I too learn like everyone else. When Queenzone gets it right – it gets it right big time. So perhaps the way forward is simply for both of us to ignore each other
I personally feel that is a backward step for all I believe, but for my own sanity, (and the sake of others), it may be time to draw a line in the sand and say ‘enough is enough’.
(To Greg: I wish you well, I wish you continued success and happiness, and whatever you are really searching for, I hope you find it).
