QUEEN ULTRARARE Oz only WORKS TOUR CASS

Absolutely beautiful  Queen piece unique to Oz,  "Queen Live "   . Magnificent piece.     COBALT  issue   -  this  single  disc was a  total refinement of the   LIVE KILLERS  RECORD.  In the  field of the cassette  - it was replaced with a  single cassette  and  accordingly only half of the songs.   Please note  it does not have a part one  and a part two -it was edited by  the  nrecord company and  consequently - The idea was to entice people  to purchase the the disc and  I don't know of  anyone   disappointed with the release.

Issued on the  Elektra label its cat  no. is  60343-4


Tracks are  We Will Rock You , Let Me Entertain You , Killer Queen , Bicycle Race , You're My Best Friend , Spread Your Wings , Keep Yourself alive      

Side  b - Don't Stop Me Now  , Bohemian Rhapsody , Tie Your Mother Down , Sheer Heart Attack , We Are The Champions , Reading  from the  bottomk of the  innner  sleeve  there is a very interesting package -  as follows -  Queen are - Freddie Mercury , John Deacon , Roger Taylor   & Brian May .   

The materialk for this package was recorded  by John Etchells  on the QUEEN  EUROPEAN TOUR Jan - March  1979 . using the  Manor Mobile  - manned by Peter Greensdale  , Ken Capper  and Steve  Carter . Mixing was  done at Mountain Studios Montreux. .  All songs have been previously  released on the the LIVE KILLLERS    double album  package - thius album is an abbreviated  version of the double set. Cover photo  courtesy  of Koh Hasabe .  ..



Please note   -    the cassette  does not have the  adhesive sticker on it - unfortunately but overall it is an amazing piece of tour memorabillia.  In addition   the artwork is SLIGHTLY different    with a  blue band across the top. As I said I have not  seen another in over  20 years . It is a reluctant  sale and  sometimes    we all have to part with things. To the absolute completist  -   this is  probably as  rare as the  New Zealand  singles  cassette  with the bonus   cassingle both shrinkwrapped and  both with the same b side.  Unfortunately - only ever seen two of them and never had one. 

Whilst  the  Queen LIVE  album  was NEVER  issued on Cd the vinyl occasionally  trickles through  but I have only seen one copy of the casssette in the  25  years since. 

Accordingly I will  begin it  at $59.95  and a buy now of $62.50 .  No - it  does not have the sticker on thr front  cover but believe me - this is an absolute  gem to a  serious collector . Please check  the usual sources to ensure its authenticity and make   certain of the  amazing uniquity of this piece.  . This is the only copy I have  seen since attending the Works  tour  some  25  years ago .  I have  little doubt that it would be one of the most  obscure  cassettes issued  .

As I said -  this  is an absolute   gem   Where  a  buyer   does not have the access to receive  registered mail a compromise  must be reached or I shall have to retain the right to cancel  the auction.    For what its worth - No - I don't know anyone else   who has  a copy of  this item. It IS that rare  . Thanks and Happy Bidding
