Queen Picture Hall

>> home : singles : seven seas of rhye

Issued in 1974 as Queen's second UK single. Released in the UK without a picture sleeve.

Angola, France, Germany, Holland, Japan, Portugal and Yugoslavia had a unique sleeve. Although the sleeves from Angola and Portugal are the same, except for the back sleeves.

Japan has a different B-side.

A UK 7" promo issue was pressed with a different mix of Seven Seas Of Rhye (a different backing track was used). Just a few copies survived, 5 or less, because they were re-called to the factory and should have been destroyed.

Re-issued in 1988 as a 3" CD-single (as a part of 12 3" CD-singles) in the UK. Issued separatly and as a complete set in a plastic wallet. Also issued in Germany as a limited edition of 555 copies only in a leather wallet. Re-released in Japan in 1991 in a boxed set.
