Requires mega. Nz
i used to have it (mega)


I have a year of the fiction mags 1953 pretty much just for the freas cover. I've got plenty other pulps mainly for Robert Bloch stuff.

To be honest I've never read it. I bought it during a bad time when i was moving.

For you misinformed Queen fans (including Penetration Guru) around the world, please take your time to read this book, Queen live recordings in the vaults and other interestering facts can be found in it.

I obviously hit a nerve. Please provide evidence.

(The front cover of a book that very clearly doesn't cover their full live career does not count as evidence).

My evidence that they didn't record every show is that when they started releasing bootlegs a few years ago, they didn't release their tapes of the concerts in question, just the pre-existing audience recordings. That's not irrefutable evidence, but it's a stronger indication than your "because I say so"

Does it really matter whether they've recorded every show or not? It's not like they're ever releasing them.

Yes it does really matter as at some point in the future (more distant then nearer) even two-track recordings or stereo-only recorded shows may be regarded by Universal as something on which the record company can capitalize.
Imagine respective Box-sets with these recordings being released, covering all tour (for example, all shows recorded by the band during the Works 84' Tour).

Until I get an apology for the pitch correction on Rainbow, all QPL stuff is gonna be straight-to-torrent for me. Sorry Bri.

Cool! I go to lots of comic conventions. I think I'll start scouting this issue out. I see one for sale on Ebay for $50. All the other issues from the same time period are much cheaper.

Would be nice to include a reissue of the sci fi comic.[/QUOTE]

The issue of Astounding Science Fiction from 1953 which featured the original illustration of 'Frank' wasn't a comic, it was a pulp magazine and mainly featured prose stories along with spot illustrations. That said, a repro of at least the cover as a nice print would be pretty cool. [/QUOTE]

With a great story and some pix of the making of 'War of the Worlds', and its $1.2M budget. I have a copy framed, otherwise I'd open it up and mention more of its contents.


[/QUOTE]

Thanks! That's an amazing resource.

I don't have anything to prove, the evidence it's inside that book. Buy it and read it. Oh, and that fact is supported by Queen Productions Ltd.

 Denying this information is like denying the Red Special is red.

Evidence? Not even close, guy.

QPL released those [i]Official Bootlegs[/i] to discourage bootlegers. Another stupid idea from QPL. And surely because they run outta ideas at that moment...

"Because I say so" Your words, not mine. 

And you're welcome.

Yes, it was very dumb of them and as I recall, at that time it was controversial as they wanted money for many of the bootlegs which you could download for free here on QZ.

Thinking everything ever written in a book is correct....

Corroboration?

Not everything ever written in a book but in this case, yes.

Queen Productions Ltd? [/QUOTE]

They've endorsed loads of products with loads of mistakes, so that's not evidence.

Post by Gary Taylor.[/QUOTE]

Gary Taylor once claimed Fred had recorded the vocals for 'It's a Beautiful Day' in 1991, so not everything he said is true.

The book could be accurate, or not... QPL and GT are not evidence either way.

And as I've posted a couple of times before, there's a quote in the book Queen - The Early Years (by Mark Hodkinson) from Trevor Cooper, a roadie for the band Mr. Big, who was an opener for Queen in the early days.

Speaking of John Harris, he says "That bloke ate, drank and slept Queen. It was all he thoughtt about, all he cared about. He didn't seem to have any other life. He taped every single show and when we were on the tour bus the next day he would be listening to it through his headphones, he was that keen to get it spot-on night after night."

I have confidence that somewhere, either in the possession of the band or John Harris' family (he is deceased it seems) those tapes still exist. He was a roadie from the very beginning, even with Smile, so the treasure trove of music he recorded must be incredible.

Interestingly, I found this old discussion looking for John Harris, on these boards, begun by Greg Brooks back in 2008.

So it seems maybe Queen Productions were looking to track down his old tapes, possibly? Could you imagine (and I wouldn't be surprised) that they had someone within their own ranks for years and years and years that had recorded every show and they never kept copies for the band, then somehow lost touch with him and those tapes were lost to the ages?
