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, 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 boxed set, and full scans of all the singles can be found here.

The singles were also released as part of a boxed set in Japan in 1991 or 1992, 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 all the Japanese singles can be found here.

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.
