There are loads of vinyl albums out at the moment by various companies notably Coda. You need to be careful because some of them are the same show and setlist but under different titles. I have got quite a few lately. There are some which cover the whole shows over two seperate albums ie 'Death on two legs' and 'another party is over' which is Houston 77. There is another pair which covers the Buenos Aires 28th feb show, 'nothing really matters' is one of them. 'Sao paulo' is another good one. To be honest I have listened to them all and the quality is very good so dont be put off. They are std sources so nothing new but for vinyl fans like myself some new shows which have never before been on vinyl.
Most of these shows are recent releases, obviously of old established recordings. They are not actually Japanese releases, I believe they all come from Europe. Good info on 'Queen on stage' website.
