UK and Japanese 3" CD Singles

In 1988, twelve 3" CD singles were issued which contained tracks from across Queen's back catalogue. They were released individually in the UK, on 24 October, 14 November and 5 December, with the catalogue numbers QUECD1 through to QUECD12, each in it's own 3" x 3" card sleeve. The singles were also released in Germany as a set, called 'The 3" CD Singles', housed in a leather wallet, and limited to 555 numbered copies. Full scans of this set, and the individual singles, can be found in the gallery.

The singles were also released as part of a boxed set in Japan on 26 April 1991, simply called 'CD Single Box', with the catalogue numbers TODP 2251 to TODP 2262, in 3" x 6" plastic cases with card fronts. As far as I know, these were not available individually. Full scans of this set, and the individual singles, can also be found in the gallery.

The UK and Japanese issues featured similar artwork, and the same tracks, but occasionally different versions were used. What follows is a brief guide to the CD's, featuring the UK release artwork, the catalogue numbers and the tracks.
