My Collecting Story
I am 21-years old male from Finland. I have collected Queen records and other Queen related stuff about 5 years. I`m also member of Official International Queen Fan Club (MEMBERSHIP No.260055980).
First time I interesting Queen music 1995, when I heard my brother played "The Show Must Go On" song from "Greatest Hits II" album. Then I was 15 years old, and didn`t know anything about Queen band. Also I have heard many other bands music too, but Queen and Freddie Mercurys brilliant voice started my interesrting. In that time Ihaven`t got cd-player yet, so I asked my brother recorded Queen songs at tape. That tape get tracks from Greatest Hits", "Greatest Hits II" and "Made In Heaven" albums. First when i get my own cd-player, I bought by brother both "GH" albums. I want bought "Made In Heaven" album also, but my brother don`t want to sell it :)
First new Queen cd what I bought was "Sheer Heart Attack". When I saw all official Queen albums picture, I decide buy only all 1980 perioid albums. Then when I get all these albums I want 1970 perioid albums also! That`s not enough. Then I bought vinyl versions of all albums!
I interesting vinylsingles, when I find "Bohemian Rhapsody/These Are The Days Of Our Lives" 7" single. I want it, because that sleeve cover is nice Queen logo ;) Then I was "collectinghooked"! Later i bought also "I Want It All", "Breakthru", "Innuendo" etc. singles.
I get new great friends and other Queen fans with this hobby :) 1998 I join Official International Queen Fan Club. These pages have also get one part of this hobby! This is my personally Queen collecting history :)
