Dont know if anybody has seen this, probabaly have..but was surfing a little on the old web & found this..it's the first time i've seen a pic of it & don't know wether its been posted up before but thought people might like to see it anyway..it came with this description..
BEFORE TO WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS LP I WOULD TO SAY THAT SOME EXPERT QUEEN COLLECTOR SAYS THAT THIS LP IS NOT ORIGINAL,IS A REISSUE OR...SINCERLY I DON'T KNOW.SO BEFORE TO LEFT A BID THINK AND WATCH ALL THE IMAGES VERY WELL.I'M TALKING ABOUT THE QUEEN LP SHEER HEART ATTACK JAPAN RED WAX COLOUR.IT HAS WHITE LABEL PROMO P-10137E.SLEEVE AND RECORD ARE EXCELLENT.THE RECORD IS NOT SO FLEXIBLE LIKE A USUAL RECORD AND IT HAS A DIFFERENT WEIGHT AND THICKNESS.MATRIX NUMBERS ARE PRINTED AND NOT HANDWRITTEN.SLEEVE IS THE SAME OF NORMAL ISSUE JUST WITH GOLD SAMPLE STICKER PROMO.ANYWAY IF ORIGINAL OR NOT,IF REISSUE OR HANDMADE COPY I THINK IT'S A GREAT ITEM FOR ANY QUEEN COLLECTOR.I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE.ESPRESS MAIL!DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME FOR ANY INFORMATION.
Link to the page? Don't buy in any case. IF it is official, it is a re issue due to the strap on the side... There was talk of a SHA red vinyl but it is so rare, if it does exist, that it has become Queen folk law...
...So what difference does the OBI make has regards wether this is a true copy, fake, or otherwise? were promo copies not issued with
OBI's back then ('74')?
..as a collector then & looking at the number of posts you have, reading the forums etc..mooghead im sure your well aware of the importance & no, not only on reissues.
There's lots of pirate colour pressings doing the rounds at the moment. Very in vogue. Instagram is full of people boasting about all the cash they've spent on it and spunking over their new coloured pressing of so and so and I'm reading it thinking DOH
