Current revision as of 16:57, 27 November 2013

NOTE: This is a permanent work-in-progress section and will be updated periodically. Also, please note that this section is based purely on what is known and what has been reported over the years, and that until Queen Productions issues something that chronicles the band's entire sessionography, this section remains unofficial and entirely speculative.


What's not here:

  • Single edits/variations, extended remixes, and other remixes, either commissioned by Hollywood Records for the 1991 back catalog remaster campaign, or any that don't feature direct involvement from a member of Queen;
  • Guest appearances on other artists' recordings;
  • Live performances released on CD or as bonus tracks of the 2011 Universal Records/Island reissue campaign;
  • BBC sessions – those can be found here.


Notes and Thanks:

Adapted from "The Ultimate Collection," to be found on Queenzone and Queenonline. Many, many thanks to John S Stuart for his exhaustive research and meticulous notes!
