Can someone remember this ad / promotion ? Must be in the magazines at some point after the Magic Tour.
It was a promotion for HiFi equipment but I don`t know for wich brand it was. It has the header
"QUEEN seduces man in suburban living room."
A stage shoot from the Magic Tour
Under that there was some text and a photo of an Amp or CD-Player.
It ends with a slogan like "The next best thing to being there" or something similar...
Maybe someone is even in possession of it, and is willing to share a scan of it :) ?
Would be much appreciated :) Thanks !

Yes - I definitely remember it. I have a couple of carrier bags full of UK press clippings and articles on anything Queen related from the 80s/90s but not sure I have this one. If I get a chance to look through I will, but that might not be anytime soon.

Wasn't Queen promoting Technics at the time (or was it the other way round :) ) ?

Thank you guys ! I know about Technics deals in relation with live gigs. Don`t know if it counts for post touring business.
But yeah, maybe the obvious choice for a business partnership.

I'm now remembering that the ad was to advertise laser discs, and specifically the Budapest gig laser disc...so it may have been a Technics (or maybe Pioneer?) association?

Ah...yes... I can go with the idea of a CD-Video promotion. We´re moving in the right direction I think.

Great Thanks ! So actually it was a Philips/ Queen Promotion.- I will look for an original, much easier now. Thanks again - Much appreciated !

Wouldn't a concert on laserdisc take like 2 or even 3 discs? I only have vague memories of that format, I think I knew like one or two people that even had em....lol
