That is exactly the CD I have!

By the way, searching on the EIL.COM site I have found these:
http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=181191
http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=421748
In these pages says that the year of the concert is 'circa 1976' but the scans of the actual information sheets have no mention of the date/venue ...as far as I can see - although the tracklisting is clearly from Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Perhaps this is the LP I was talking about.

...And sorry PG - I do not have the CD with me as I am working 1000 km. far from home! I just happen to have some scans from my 'radio' CDs for a catalog I am preparing.

Ok, thanks for info about that PROMO cd inc. Golders Green 73. I didn't know about it.
I have a handful radio proimo vinyl & cd's of Queen.
That link over is to a scan of Hammersmith 75 show, which I'm sure you all understand.
Some of this promo live records have DJ in the beginning, say's Queen recorded in 1976.
X-mas show was so late in the year, so for some reasion, it's announcing as a 1976 concert.
This might confuse someone...
Although it was about 21 years ago, I saw with my own eyes a BBC transcription disc (LP) in a second hand record shop in Canterbury which I am sure from memory was Hyde Park 76. I suppose after such a long time my memory could be wrong and it may have been something like Hammersmith 75 (did that get released as a promo transcription disc??) I remember it being a plain black sleeve and a white and yellow label on the centre of the disc itself.

Any help??

You should have bought it!

;)

If your memory serves you well enough, then there might still be a little bit of hope :)

Believe me I wanted to - being a 15 year old schoolboy at the time my finances were somewhat limited! I can't remember exactly how much it was but it was certainly out of my range! I did however pick up an original (not bootleg version) of the Bulgarian Greatest Hits Pic Disc for £17 (which Record Collector mag rate at £600)a couple of years later, so it's not all bad!!!

Not possible, I'm afraid. It seems a lot of people are confusing BBC and Capital Radio, they are not connected in any way, so there cannot possibly be a BBC transcription of the Hyde Park 76 show.

Sometime around 1984 a lot of BBC In Concert radio programmes started to appear as bootleg LPs mocked up to look like the genuine BBC transcription discs. Some even had an information sheet.

I know of one Cult collector who paid handsomely only to find out later all he had was a common bootleg LP.

Sorry to disagree, but there's a BBC In Concert transcription CD from this show released in 2002 - along with a Randy Newman concert from 1972. I know this because I have it. [/QUOTE]

Interesting... how does your copy sound compared to this?:
