Hello. Today i was searching in YT for a good quality Bohemian Rhapsody video for an university research, and i found this one. link
In 1:39 it appears an addictional piano note that is not included in Queen Official account one, besides in the LP and single too.
My question is if this video (original transfer of Trilion video reel) is completely original and (probably) the 1st edition of this video.
All your comments surely can be helpful for me and for my university research.
Cheers!
God knows what the prevailing view is of the legality of doing so, these days. I'd have thought it was obviously official material, but then I'd think that about plenty of stuff that seems to be making it's way around.

The delay also draws out the vocal - it just sounds like the tape very slightly repeating.
The tape is for sure a original 2" video tape. This one was meant to be sent to canada for broadcasting. Or as I gues , being transfered first to the 2"or 1" broadcasting tape, this clip inserted in to the whatever programm they wanted to air.
So the tape should have been sent from London to Canada.
I do have the raw transfer I will check that one as well.
Attached a picture of the 2inch reel with it's box and the paperwork.
Hmm. I have seen this before, I think it was in a Queen retrospective thing from MuchMusic around the time Made In Heaven got released. I might still have a Finnish broadcast of it on videotape somewhere, not sure though. But yeah, it's definitely a naturally badly edited overlap/fade error there, not a digital glitch.
Well we will make a new transfer , finally we got 1 working 2" machine back working here in Holland again. It will take a few weeks.
And this transfer amongst others of my 2 and 1" collection will be broadcasted in Holland in a documentary we are making at this moment. It will be broadcasted on nov. 24th. So stay tuned.
Alberbal12 could you PM at facebook, that's reeltime chat.
This is indeed a bad edit, and it was the one that was sent to TV stations.
I remember that VH1 would air this bad edited version of this video throughout the nineties. I guess that after the release of Queen's GH1 DVD, TV stations started to air the "fixed version". I don't know if this was the original video, but it was the one that musical TV stations aired in the nineties, and some even aired it through the 00's.
Maybe others can add something to this, in case they have seen the "good" version before the GH1 DVD release.
At least in Europe, this was the version aired by VH1.
