Folks, this is a new Japanese silver boot release from "Uxbridge" called Queen Final Budokan Nights Disc 1 is a new incomplete recording of May 8th 1985.

This share comes right from the silver encoded to flac with Flac Frontend level 8. File size 350 MB (Discs 2 and 3 are a new master recording from May 9th and will be shared later) Set List: 01 - It's Still Rock'n Roll (Billy Joel) - tape 02 - Machines Intro 03 - Tear It Up 04 - Tie Your Mother Down 05 - Under Pressure 06 - Somebody To Love 07 - Killer Queen 08 - Seven Seas Of Rhye 09 - Keep Yourself Alive 10 - Liar 11 - Vocal Improvisation 12 - It's A Hard Life 13 - Yeah Yeah Yeah 14 - Dragon Attack 15 - Now I'm Here 16 - Is This The World We Created 17 - Love Of My Life (incomplete) Enjoy:) |

It could be a copy, or the bootleg company could have processed it in some way before pressing it to silver. I've already got this one, but thanks for getting it out there. It's a great find... this Uxbridge label has been pretty nice so far. |

The taper gave the tape to the label owner himself, why should he "hoard" a part of the recording when he wanted it pressed on silver? That makes no sense. He lost the tape, there is no need to think he lied about that. In the end it makes no difference if he lost it or never recorded the 2nd part of the show but sadly he lost it. Even if the label mastered the recording in some way, the CD still comes from the original tape and not a copy or an edit or something. |

Do you have any idea of how much bootleg labels are known to pay people for a new recording? These things aren't done for free. If not, then the taper would have leaked out his recording otherwise, or just kept his tapes for himself. That said, tapers and collectors have been known to send an incomplete recording to one bootleg label and later a complete recording to another - not before altering the complete recording to sound worse, which brings forth the possibility that the unaltered complete recording will one day "surface," which it often does, and more money is made by everyone. There hasn't been too much of this trickery with Queen bootlegs, but the acts of some Zeppelin, Floyd, and Stones (and plenty of others) tapers and collectors over the years have led to the necessity of websites like this one: link In the world of bootlegging, the possibilities are endless. The only sure way that you are getting an unaltered master tape is if the taper shares it on their own, not through a bootleg label. This is why I ask the questions I asked. Indeed, it's entirely possible that this is all that exists and that the tape wasn't altered at all, but the only people who know the answer for sure are the people who work for the bootleg label. |

thank you for sharing! Any cover provided by this Uxbridge guys? :) |

I've got the covers on my website... provided by Olivier Ruth - thanks! |

Thank you very much YourValentine! It's fantastic to hear this superior source of first night in Budokan as I supposed that existed only the inferior one. I can't wait to listen it. |
| YourValentine 27.02.2009 13:45 |
Hmm, I get error mesages when trying to answer with a quote.. @ Bob Yes, you are right - I have no insider knowledge of the bootleg industry. For now I have to believe what I was told and should the 2nd tape appear some day we will certainly hear about it. |

But even with all the hand clapping it's still a great recording and the performance is wonderful. The second night's recording is quite nice too, the sound is not as great as Wardour's but there's less of the hand clapping. I hope this label comes up with more good stuff! |
