Notes
Withdrawn live sleeve.
It was always falsely reported that this sleeve was withdrawn at the request of Brian May, however it turns out not to be the case!
Brian stated on his own website in early 2007 in response to a letter asking why he requested the withdrawal of this sleeve that in fact he didn't request the sleeve be withdrawn - he actually preferred it but the record company felt that the sleeve was misleading and that the public would believe the song to be a live recording so the sleeve was withdrawn at the request of EMI.
Woolworths failed to receive the recall notice and they continued to sell the withdrawn sleeve for up to 5 days before their stocks ran out.
The sleeve has been counterfeited over the years and most are easy to spot as the vinyl on the bootlegs are usually coloured. Usually the black vinyl counterfeits have the word cassette mis-spelt on the back with just one 's'

Hello all! the picture was withdrawn because of copyright reasons: the guy who took the picture of the band onstage was not an official Queen photographer. Therefore they decided to change the cover. -
Well, as the promo video was a 'live' performance over-dubbed with the studio recording the why wasn't that withdrawn as well?
-
It is believed this 'Live' picture sleeve was withdrawn at the request of Brian May as it depicted a live recording and was therefore misleading.
