Stickells will see to that...

Article in Billboard magazine, Dec 1, 1978.
A pity that can not be read well.

First part of the article.

[QUOTE]The ultimate cost of the entire production will probably exceed $1 million, and it´s not likely that Queen will do much more than break even financially, although major rock tours more than anything else are designed to generate album sales[/QUOTE]

And nowadays it's literally the opposite.

The value of physical music is just about zero, and tours bring in hundreds of millions.

[QUOTE]"I don´t spend too much time listening to the music. I'm too wrapped up in the practical matters."[/QUOTE]

And this is precisely what lands you a career in the music biz for decades. It's work and only work. As soon as you're even 1% Mark David Chapman, no artist wants anything to do with you.

This man seriously had his shit together. He was one of the best.

Gotta love that British wit.

Thanks for posting !

"I know that a band like Kiss hands out ear plugs to its crew and instructs its sound man to turn it up as high as it will go without distorting. But to me that is not music, that's combat." -- Trip Khalaf

Serious respect to that guy for calling them out on that in 1978.

Even on the worst Queen audience tapes from that period you can still hear every instrument. It shows how good his mix was.

Any idea how old this photo is?
He doesn't look well, and seems to have lost an eye.[/QUOTE]

You see on the page you linked where it says "taken on October 15th 2011?

Consider that a clue.

Interesting other pics in that guy's collection...
