ANNOUNCE : INVITE YOU TO ... TOKYO 31-03 + 01-04-76

Don't know if this was shared here before. And I know the show is more complete availble. But here is copy of the direct transfer from the INVITE YOU TO A NIGHT AT THE BUDOKAN lp (Marc TQ-76059).

why this share ?

Well simply because all other versions which aren't from this LP but from rereleases from this specific L.P. are all in inferiour sound.

This was the first boot which was released with this show. It is a highly collectable Lp bootleg. And all the rereleases like :
-Mercury poisoning (lp)
- The Ballte of 76 (lp)
- Year of the opera (cd)

Feature a less good soundquality.

So for the fan who wants it all.

The Japanese bootleg label MARC made 4 Queen boot lp's which are all very rare. And of course expensive.

These are the vinyls :
MARQ-TQ 75122 KIMONO MY PLACE LIVE 1 lp. (tokyo may 1st. 1975)
MARQ-TQ 76059 INVITE YOU TO A NIGHT AT TEH BUDO KAN (see this topic)
MARQ -TQ 76042 LAZING ON A SUNDAY EVENING 1lp (tokyo april 4h. 1976)
ZAP 7960 FREE IN THE PARk 1lp (hyde park sept. 18th. 1976) *

* ZAP which stands for "ZE ANONYM PLATENSPIELER (the anonymous record player, it is in german) was a american bootleg label. Which had nothing to do with MARC. The MARC label made many boots in the 70's for many bands. And the MARC label stood for high quality bootlegs (soundwise) among record collectors. Because the HYDE PARK show was recorded in such a bad quality MARC decided to annoy ZAP (their compettitor) by releasing a inferiour qualtiy bootleg on the ZAP label instead of their own label.

EDIT (13 november 2010) renamed the subject added the april 1st. date, so there has to be no more confussion about the date(s) thanks to little foetus!!

Thank you very much.

Thank you for this!

Nice work, thanks.

The performance of Seven Seas of Rhye here is very good.  Sounds very close to the studio version.

This does sound great... much better than Year Of The Opera.  Thanks !

Many thanks

MERCI BEAUCOUP

Can some expert verify the date. I mentioned -03-31-76 but when I look at queenlive.ca the sources are divided together with the
april 1st.76 show. There is no info on the LP sleeve...

I am asking this because it would be strange to feature 2 rotating songs in the setlist. : Father to son & seven seas of rhye were played sometimes. But never seen them in 1 setlist...

So which date is it ?

Wow, can't wait to hear this!

THANKS:-)

It's mostly April 1.  But this bootleg has a couple more tracks than Year Of The Opera than the others, so when I get a chance I'll compare everything.  Stay tuned!

(oops, double post)

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Thank you :)

Thank you, this is very much appreciated.
