Just picked up a 7” US pressing of Killer Queen backed with Liar, dated to 1983.
Anyone have any idea why the track was reissued, and why with the B-side?

yep, i had that KQ/Liar 7" around 40yrs ago. IIRC it was the one with a complete shedit of Liar - an absolute carve-up that Coronation Street's butcher Fred Elliot would've been proud of  |

Awful edit of Liar! Is it the same as the original single edit from 1974?

Is it the same as the original single edit from 1974? well "Spun Gold" were effectively reissues of previous 7" releases - quite often a "pairing" of previous A-Sides the 1974 "electra" version clocked in at 3m03s - EK-45884-A the 1983 "electra spun gold" version was also 3m03s - E-45080-B so, yes...same version |
