The CD Single Box is a compilation compact disc box set by the English rock band Queen released exclusively in Japan on 26 April 1991 by EMI Records. [1] [2]

Packaging

The CDs are housed inside a gold embossed flip top box with a 48-page booklet which includes the bio, anthology and song lyrics in English and Japanese. [1]

Contents

The box set has 12 x 3" CD single ('Mini Album' written on the reverse of all sleeves) snap-packs ( Japanese: tanzaku) which includes twelve hit-singles released between 1973 and 1986. The singles start with the A-side tracks " Seven Seas Of Rhye" through to " A Kind Of Magic" complete with B-sides. The few non-album B-sides included are " See What a Fool I've Been", " Soul Brother", " I Go Crazy" and " A Dozen Red Roses for My Darling". [1] The compact discs are 3-inch or (8 cm), with sleeves called snap-packs, as they could be "snapped and folded" into a small square. Almost all of the writing is in Japanese.

All CDs have three tracks each, apart from " Queen's First E.P.", which has four. [1] The set features artwork from the original UK 7" vinyl releases, except the "Seven Seas Of Rhye" (original German sleeve) and " Killer Queen" (original French sleeve).
