Hi Greg,
Just a short question : can you tell us : what is the earliest queen live audio recording in the archieves ? You claim you don;t have the marquee show, but what is the oldest recording of a queen live show that qp have?
Any one take a bet at it ?

As an addition: Golders Green IS available on serious format - apart from the FULL UNEDITED VERSION which exists as a MASTER - the edited version also exists as a BBC transcription disc LP.
I know this for sure - as I have BOTH the BBC MASTER and the LP versions - but as far as I am aware - Queen Productions are already aware of this.
So is this a case of BBC copyright - or does QP genuinely not hold a professional copy (or "...Serious format...") of this gig?
If it is truely the case that QP do NOT have a 'master copy', I would certainly offer it up - provided certain caveats were in place.

I'd keep a close eye on your wallet if you ever go near Queen productions again.
