As we're all aware (and Kurgan is always very keen to remind us) - we can never be 100% sure. BUT, my mate has tonnes of 70s Queen signatures - a lot obtained personally - and these look pretty good, IMO.
If the question is about whether the contract is genuine, or a very good print - I really couldn't say: I noticed that Hard Rock Cafe in Barcelona have a fully signed Elektra contract on display (oddly placed near the toilets), but I wasn't sure if it was original or replica. I mean, how many would they have needed to sign? If the one in Barca is bona-fide, it raises some questions about this.....it's a helluva lot of dough to risk on it!!!

I would never buy autographs off ebay. The signatures don't look like pretty much all others I have seen....

From my experience, they look just like their signatures did in the early days. You should be able to see this on queenmuseum.com

Thing is, we're all used to seeing more recent examples - they look very much like the early ones my mate has, and he obtained them personally.
@ bob, I still don't know if you're asking if the signatures are genuine, or if the contract itself is :)
