Will they ever re-release the 12 inch singles ?

I agree, a re-release of the 12' would be nice, but without being remastered and all the extended versions

Tend to agree. I’ve got a decent system and like to listen to my Queen records. The 12” records sound much better than 7”. Since I have them all, it would be a novelty to me to have them re-released again, but one thing that’s always struck me odd is not having the 12” Collection CD on vinyl. Would be cool to have something like that released with the missing songs.

I imagine the perceived sound quality improvement is at least partially a consequence of more groove spacing than would be possible on other formats.

But, with global vinyl production capability low, and the increase in album reissues being on DOUBLE vinyl, the business case (from the record companies) for one song on a side of 12" vinyl would not seem to be strong.

As for DSMN crying out... Well, I disagree that ANYTHING is crying out for 12" releases, but it's easily tested - start a campaign, and see how many people you can persuade to write to QPL. If you can get 100 ( none of whom ask for some other track), I'd be amazed, impressed, and corrected.

Let's hope they clean up some of the terrible cut and paste edits first! 😖

The main reason for 12'' singles to exist was for DJs in the clubs to be able to mix together their setlist.
This resulted in longer versions being mixed (most of the time without much thought of the bands) with instrumental sections or mixed down 'dub' versions for DJ's to overdub other songs on those sections.

So, for me, just having the standard song released on 12'' without including different mixes (preferably longer ones) does not make any sense.
Especially when we can be 99.9% sure those standard versions will be the exact same (re)master as any previous release.
