Did anyone notice another (previously unseen) photo of Queen with Mike Grose in 'On My Way Up' video, presumably taken by Douglas Puddifoot? it's 26 seconds into the video. Here's a close-up:

Damn, I bought the Japanese Roger release with a mini poster and 2 bonus tracks. I bought it on release and it’s still sitting at the airport until JapanPost decide to ship to Australia again :( Are you sure it's at the airport? When I see news about Japan Post service suspensions, they say that mail they already accepted will be sent back to the sender. I would think whatever shop you bought it from would give you the option to choose a different shipping method like FedEx, although of course it will be more expensive.

It sure is.
But is it really from the Another World period ? I always thought it was from the early '80s (especially judging by the keyboard sounds), written for his son when he was a boy ?
It was released in December 1998 on a compilation called Lullabies With A Difference so that would be the link to this album. I guess we will never know for sure if this one was really recorded or originated from the early 80's. Unless we will get a nice super deluxe Hot Space release one day In ´98 when My Boy ended in that compilation I read somewhere the track was a 1988 recording.

Hi deathtoming, you are correct. The shop offered the option to send it at a much higher cost that just wasn’t worth it. The mail did sit at the airport for a few months. JapanPost were probably thinking circumstances would change and then they’d send it out. After a few months the shop was notified of the backLog of mail at the airport, and I assume the parcel is ow back with the shop. The shop have been helpful and they are equally frustrated. They are dealing with this on a larger scale. Ive now got the album via a streaming service. There’s something about holding the album in your hands (or CD in this case). I’m big on the artwork and I really like the design of the sleeve. So it gives me something to look forward to.

It wasn’t until SilverSalmon shared this take of Another World that I fell in love with the song.
So I was excited to see it included on the recent release…even though it’s not ‘unreleased’ as such.
I’m not sure why this version sounds and feels so much better than the English version, but for me it just raises the song to the top of my favourite Brian solo tracks. I think I’m going to re-sort the album to have this as the closing song.

I’m spanish and, to me, “En Otro Lugar” has always sounded and felt really, really awful and forced. It’s almost unlistenable! I consider the original/ english version one of Brian’s finest. But, once again, it’s just my perception and I’m sure other spanish or central/south american fans may love it.

I'm not a native English nor Spanish speaker, so both versions sounds to my ears as "foreign language". I guess Brian's pronunciation isn't always natural and you can hear he's not from Spain/Latin country, but it always sounded to me more natural and even the high notes during the ending line sounds to me better in Spanish.

He doesn't do a bad job at all. He definitely rehearsed a lot to get the phonetics right, and the lyrics are properly adapted although at times they sound funny. Brian can speak a little Spanish. He can probably follow simple conversations just fine.

It's now end of june and I still haven't received by Another World copies (2CD, LP black, LP picture disc, cassette, OMWU 7", OMWU CDsingle) They were sent out at the day of release (22 april) , after receiving nothing for a month I contacted Queenonline/Universal and they sent me a second package with the same items on the 31st of may... Neither the first package nor the second package has been received to this day. I really wonder what the dutch postal service is doing?? Is it such a mess there, that they can't even properly deliver UK packages to their Dutch citizens? Technically next week I could contact Queenonline/Universal again that I haven't received my second package either, and they can send a third one, but c'mon that's insane, right??? Anyone else experiencing this bullocks?

The same happen to me with Outsider items from the QOL store. The only way to receive things from them is paying more of postal service

I can top that…I ordered the Outsider CD from Japan 9 months ago.
Until JapanPost decides to start shipping items I am still waiting. I feel the unpredictable delivery services (internationally) are making it harder for us buyers, and for those trying to produce new box sets.

Technically next week I could contact Queenonline/Universal again that I haven't received my second package either, and they can send a third one, but c'mon that's insane, right??? Anyone else experiencing this bullocks? Well, after ordering it for the first time immediately at per-order time I finally received my Another World & On My Way Up copies (picture disc, black vinyl, 2CD, cassette, 7", CD-single) First time it was mailed half april by standard mail, but package never received. After complaining a second package was posted by standard mail end of may, but that package was also never received. Queenonline/Universal offered me a voucher and cancelled the order, I then re-ordered everything last week (luckily everything was still available) with courier delivery this time. Within two days I got a mail from Dutch customs that I had to pay for VAT and import duties and two days later I received it at my home..... Finally.... sigh. One thing that bugs me though: Queenonline/Universal stated on their order receipt that VAT was already included, despite this I still had to pay VAT at customs. DHL explained to me that Universal had to send the package as DDP to make clear that VAT was already paid and had to state that on the package, however they sent it as DAP, which usually means that VAT has not yet been cleared and should be paid by the receiver. So this might be something to be aware of when ordering from Queenonline/Universal next time. DHL told me that many companies do this wrong because it's more hassle for them and most of the times people will not complain anyway due to ignorance or not wanting to go through all the trouble to get the overpayment back. I guess I have to contact Universal again to clear this out.
