So what do i do with the links? Theres way to much to read. Can you tell me what they say? I mean, that stuff isn't available right? So how do i collect ALL that?
The clue is in the title. It is a discography.
You read it - you will find out what Queen material is 'available'.
You don't read it and you will never know.
Talk about being spoon-fed!

School leavers lack basic skills, say universities
Universities are dismayed by the poor levels of literacy and numeracy among school leavers who arrive in higher education expecting to be "spoon-fed", according to a new study.
Tutors at 16 universities - including Oxford and Cambridge - complained that many school leavers lacked a good grip of grammar and had a "fear of numbers".
...Focus groups of 250 lecturers and admissions tutors found that increasing amounts of time were being lost at the beginning of degree courses in remedial work, ranging from maths to essay writing.
"Remedial maths courses are on offer and the department has employed a learning officer to help with 'how to learn'," one tutor told the Nuffield study.
Another said: "No actual civil engineering is done in the first semester, and the second year material has now moved to the third year."
Comments on written work included: "They cut and paste essays from the web. Reading books is a skill which has been lost."
An admissions tutor at a "selecting" university said: "I was able to skim the cream of candidates, but even they do not necessarily know how to use an apostrophe."
Physics admissions tutors complained: "They can't even write in sentences. Their spelling is appalling. They can't be understood ... they graduate with a 2:1 but they still can't spell or write English."
And from biology admissions tutors: "Elementary maths is missing. They can't put decent sentences together" and "Students hate numbers, they're scared stiff of numbers."
"Listen to them. Creatures of the night. What music they make..."
