Notes

"Radio Ga Ga" was originally released January 23, 1984 (UK) as the first single from the forthcoming "The Works" album.

It is also the first single to sport Queen's personalised EMI catalogue numbering scheme (QUEEN1 for the 7", 12QUEEN1 for the 12") as well as the band's first release on a cassingle. In 1988 it was re-released as a CD-single.

This grouping assembles the single releases, re-releases and other variations where "Radio Ga Ga" receives A-side/top billing (non-album track "I Go Crazy" was the designated B-side).

The US/Canada Capitol 7'' releases use a shorter edit of "Radio Ga Ga" (4:24) to those issued elsewhere worldwiide on EMI 7'' which use "The Works" album version (5:47).

Watch out - might be fake - this record is in none of my 12 inch sources mentioned. Certainly not an official EMI Europe catalogue number. Label is a none EMI label. As far as I know EMI Europe never released promo's. Don't spend your money on it.

My Radio Ga Ga test pressing has a variant matrix number on the A side: QUEEN-1-A-4U-1-1-28 instead of QUEEN-1-A-4U-1-1-20 - misprint or a different test pressing? The B side matches the above listing: QUEEN-1-B-1U-1-1-27.

My mam met Brian May once, she said he was a really nice man but his breath was a bit smelly!!

Radio Ga Ga and I Go Crazy are two outstanding songs by Queen.

To clarify: Most comments here refer to the (currently hidden) images of the two alternative sleeves, and came from a release merge. The regular 12" pictured at this point in time is as real as can be, not as fake as can be!

From what I've heard, the extra bit in the top right corner saying "Maxi 45 tours" is a sticker, and not a print. Can anyone confirm this?

Just for information : this same record comes also in a picture sleeve with a EMI ROCK sticker on it.
