The British record collector magazine Record Collector has published several Top 20 to 100 “Worldwide Rarities” lists throughout the years for Queen and solo releases. The ones published between 1998 and 2000 can be found here. Some more lists have been published throughout the years with the last notable one being from 2021, but all were arguably incomplete. The collectors market changes on a regular basis. New items are being discovered every few months or years. Rare items are suddenly not so rare anymore because old warehouse stock was found or interest in a particular artist or release has increased…

Queen Mania was the first box featuring all albums on the CD format which was released in Germany in 1990. A lengthy feature about this beautiful set can be found…

Updated on 19 July 2025 It will still take some time to publish the next Queen collectable list. So, to kill some time, let’s do a deep-dive into one of the band’s albums by looking at its artwork! Queen released their sixth album on the 28th of October 1977 called News Of The World or, for Queen fans, NOTW. It features the chart topping hits We Are The Champions and We Will Rock You plus the fan-favourite singles Spread Your Wings and It’s Late. The album is also known for its artwork, created by esteemed American science-fiction artist Frank Kelly…
