We're looking for photographs of Queen in a radio situation

CAN YOU HELP? We're looking for photographs of Queen in a radio situation.

As you probably know by now, we're working on a product focussing on Queen on the radio through the years.

We would like to find images of the band in any kind of radio related setting. It could be Queen at a radio station, or any band member photographed with a familiar DJ personality - basically anything to do with the general subject of Queen and radio broadcasts anywhere in the world, 1971 - 1995.

We want to ensure we're aware of everything out there and that we include all the best and most interesting images. If you have or know of any such photo, please drop me a message or let me know here.

Many thanks

Greg Brooks (Queen Archivist)

So ... can we take it as an official confirmation that we won't get Hyde Park but the BBC sessions?
I can't unfortunately help you with any images but I wish you good luck finding them.

As for my local Station "Bayern 3" MAYBE it`s worth trying to make contact to Mr.Thomas Gottschalk / Fred Kogel /Fritz Egner /Jürgen Herrmann ( DJ`s in the 70`s & 80`s)...from the top of my head. i know that at least Freddie was there for an interview with Fred Kogel if I remember correctly.

No, im not working with you together, I don't like the idea of the BBC Sessions, it will be a huge flop, so goodbyee Greg Books, the man that never awnsers a question..

Can't say I'm over excited by the Queen on Air product. I was hoping for and looking forward to The Hyde Park 1976 release,like most other Queen fans to be honest. To have an official release of something that's been available for years in good quality on the internet seems pointless. But then, this is QPL,(who seem to revel in rerere releases) so I suppose that's we have to expect.

Surely it has to be Hyde Park this year, anything else is going to be a major disappointment for me (especially after the You're My Best Friend snippet from the recent From Rags To Rhapsody documentary looked and sounded great). If for some reason the concert is deemed not good enough for a full official release it would be an excellent PR gesture on their part to share what they have via queenonline as a "thank you" to everybody for sticking with them over the last 40 years - seeing as the show was free in 1976 to thank the fans it would have a nice sense of symmetry! (I know I'm pushing my luck on this one, I would be more than happy to buy it)!

Many fans out there - including me - were waiting for this type of product for a very long time ! This is great news indeed.

Well, i don´t have anything related to Gregs request in the first post but i wish him and QP luck in finding what they´re looking for.
There is great interest for this kind of project from me and many other fans, so i really wish that the end product will be wonderfull.

I´m very excited that Greg mentions pictures until 1995. Can we expect a limited Box-set of Queen on the radio through the years (interviews) to go along with the performances that will obviously be released for the general public? I love Freddie´s interviews contained in the Box-set and this "Queen on air" project releases more space for a future Queen box-set in the future to focus in what really matters - music.

So far, so good! I´m excited about this project.

And by the way Greg, i´m really looking forward to the Freddie solo release this year :-)
I love "Mr.Bad Guy" and i hope you guys are doing something with it this year for the 70 birthday. All the best!

Many thanks for this, musicland munich

I am only aware of this…. Roger Taylor interview. Popnach with Thomas Gottshalk. Germany 1979. Live Killers.

I will make contact and see what they have.

Much appreciated.

Goodbye Kuijpy.

Your lack of interest will be a crushing blow to us, from which I doubt I personally will ever recover.

you still don't get it do you?
people 'round here help you time and time and bloody time again...yet one person asks you a simple question about Hyde Park - and you ignore it with an arrogant contempt...almost as if the question is irrelevant.

well it may be irrelevant to you, but to queen fans Hyde Park is important - especially in it's 40th anniversary - but you (being an archivist of such dubious ability) probably weren't even aware of the significance.

think about it Greg - you're the archivist and time over, you tell us that "you don't have this" or "such and such is definitely NOT in the archives" - but you're (usually) wrong.

you could do with being a little more personable in your dealings with fans. without fans there is NO queen, and queen has paid you substantially down the years - without us, you're an unemployed librarian.

So I'm guessing the photographs would be for a possible booklet for the proposed Queen On Air project?

Unfortunately, I don't have anything to offer for this project, but I gotta ask this: Is it possible that Ratty might have some photos lying around of either John or Freddie in a radio station? Just a thought, since he's John and Fred's roadie I'm guessing he may have accompanied either one of them for those radio interviews, and perhaps had a photo or two taken.

Also, will the future product be similar to The Beatles' Live at the BBC albums, like we'll have interviews along with the performances?

Anyway, wish you luck in this new project! I look forward to its release.

From the personal memorys of Mr. Herrmann

" He ( Freddie) was in the station for an interview. He comes into my office, shakes my hand and was looking at my records"
He had long Hair and a slim face"

^ implies an interview in the 70`s for obvious reasons

Fred Kogel joined the Station in 1981 as far as I know.

Why is everybody a slave of this guy?

He is an archivist, he knows everything what there is about Queen and still ask us, You don't fool me.

Ohja when comes GVH III out? or are the Innuendo videos not interesting?

No, we didn't know that, because NOBODY at Queen or Queen Productions ever communicate with their fanbase/customers - except of course the very rare occasion where you, Greg Brooks, come here pleading us to help you guys out because your archive is ever so empty...
Whatever release Queen put out this year, it better not be half-assed like the 2 previous releases.
