I heard from a friend recently that if a compilation album includes a track by Queen, said Queen track will always be the first song. I had a look at a few compilations at work, and sure enough, every single one I could find with a Queen song (there were about five) had it as the very first track.

Is this a part of their deal with EMI or something? Does anyone know? Or is it one of those weird, cosmic coincidences? Can you find a compilation with a Queen song in the second, third, etc position?

I finished a new little batch of songs this morning, go here to check them out. It's called Steady State EP. It's not really a big-deal release for me like Scud Of Freedom was, so I'll leave it at that...

Found a couple more compilations with Queen on them at work, and sure enough, they both had Queen as the first track. Hmmm.
