(Announce) Queen live in Lund, November 27, 1974

Hello everybody!
I recently got a tape from a fellow Queen fan from Sweden I got to know on a different Queen forum. The tape contains the recording of Queen's concert in Lund in 1974. I have listened to the concert various times and I'm pretty sure it's not a fake. The only problem is: I do have a tape deck but I don't know how to transfer the content of the tape to a digital format so that I can share it on here- I probably don't have the right equipment for transferring the tape either.
Help would be apprechiated.

the easy way to transfer a tape into a PC, is downloading a software of recording on internet (like 'Audacity') and with a audio cable ( https://www.thomann.de/es/cordialcfm_15_vv.htm?glp=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2pXXBRD5ARIsAIYoEbc45wuTqoIYVS1_Ni6eBAXVB4oI-2M0ZqAtEbIFCi4RhFvRLPbxAVYaAjTvEALw_wcB ) you connect one side into the headphones of the tape deck that you have, and the other side into the microphone slot of your computer. You open the software, and start recording from the audio card, and you press the play buttom of the tape deck.

You need a recording interface (mine is a Focusrite Scarlett), and any number of digital audio programs will do, such as Audacity, as "Freddie rey" just mentioned.

However..

... this method will almost certainly result in a mono transfer. To get a stereo transfer, your cassette deck should have separate (usually RCA) outputs for each channel, which are then plugged into two 1/4" input channels on a recording interface.

If you want a cheaper/easier option, it may be best to just take it to a high-end audio place and they will safely do the transfer for you. Even better, there are plenty of people on this forum you could send the tape to and they could do the transfer. Where are you located?

For some reason I feel this post should have been posted on a different date in April.

This sounds promising!! Hope you manage to transfer it :D

Thanks for the advice! I'll first get one of those audio cables. If the sound does turn out to be in mono, I'll try a different method.
To be honest, I don't really want to give away the tape for a transfer since I had to purchase it and I don't want it to get lost while it gets delivered.

Where are you John?
If you're in England, you can always send me the tape to do a better transfer if your equipment isn't the best. Send it via recorded delivery though.

what was the other forum called?

To answer your questions:
The other Queen Forum is this one: https://www.queenfcg.de/forum: I don't live in England but in the Netherlands.
I'll try to get the transfer done as soon as I have access to my tape deck again.

Thank You John :)

Looking forward for this ;)

LOL

Thank you for this! Which songs did they perform? Is there anything out of the ordinary?

Hey John. I live in The Netherlands as well and i have a cassette USB deck. If doesn't work out at your end you can consider sending it to the south of the country and i will transfer it here for you and everybody else to enjoy. I believe these tapes fits in a small envelope with the cost of maybe around 1 euro.

Im from Sweden and I dont know every gig Queen made but Lund its like playing outside off say Cardiff in hole say Farmville sounds strange they would have played there just sayin. I could be wrong
