Hi everyone,
Pittrek shared recently his excellent multi-sourced recording of this famous show, many thanks for his excellent work.
I was looking for the different sources separately, as a completist.
I could not find back the "Pop Spectacular" thing, so here it is.
THIS IS ONLY FOR COMPLETISTS, as the multi-source is the best version ever to date.
Also, thanks to Bob who most probably shared that at first.

Comments :
This is the best copy of the Golders Green recording, apparently from a BBC Transcription Disc, which would
make it a pre-FM. Father To Son is cut. A superb recording.
Tracklisting :
01. DJ intro
02. Procession
03. Father To Son
04. Son And Daughter
05. Ogre Battle
06. band intro
07. Liar
Distribute these files only if they are left completely unaltered, and always include the lineage
information. As always with my shares (and preferably everybody else's!), be sure that this recording is
not made available at Queenzone or elsewhere in mp3 or any other lossy format.
Keep lossless files lossless, unless it's for your own use. :)
Enjoy!
The link now : link
Ps : I tried myself at Photoshop and modified the artwork so that it suits perfectly this share, which contains only the London 1973 show (the bootleg also contained another show). It is included in the megaupload link, but I'll share it separately just after in the next posts, for those who already have the recording but no artwork. Let me know what you think of it.
Regards,
Olivier,

Megaupload is down :(
So.....time to repair some links here and there, starting with the ones from 1973 !!! :)

The master tape ? :-)
I have created a merge of the best "publicly available" sources, it was complete and all sources except 1 were in really excellent quality. link

Well, I wouldn't call any of them excellent quality since Freddie sounds like he's singing through an open door from another room somewhere down the corridor. But that appears to be a fault on the master, it's certainly present on Pop Spectacular which is sourced from a BBC Transcription disc.
I seem to recall they turned him down due to his singing sharp (nerves) although the actual mix sounds far from official. A back up monitor mix that ended up on the transcription disc after a cock up? Stranger things have happened!
Thanks for your responses. I think I have the Pittrek version which I enjoyed very much.
With the daring nature of FM radio in the early to mid 70s, it may well be a case of the band not even being aware of the broadcast.
This is likely the broadcast that led to the swath of bootlegs beginning with the "Rogues And Scandals" LP a year or two later - an American bootleg.
Here is the intro by stateside BBC correspondent Brian Saxton - it's been sitting here (link for ages and nobody seemed to notice:
I think this has been mentioned in some other threads before. Also the notes in the youtube video posted on the first page of this thread mentions that date and gives an interesting link where it can be cross referenced.

Ahh, and I even responded to it back in October.
The ol' memory is going on me.
