"Wrong version of the title track"????
If the total time is correct for reel 1, that would make AKOM less than 3:49 (a shorter version than the one on the album).
The Film version is only 3:19, so with track separation / gaps, it could well be that.

I contacted the seller in regard to the above listing and was given these three replies when I asked for more information.
Again, I provide this information for reference purposes only:
Hello & thanks for your inquiry. These are stereo reels for radio broadcast, without commercials. Very nice sound & great show.
Regards, -Jo
The reels play on both sides, and the sound is very good. I would think considerably much better than a mono video. My husband was in the music business for over 30 years as a dj/producer/sound engineer. Please look at our feedback for comments on some of his other reels. Our customers are very happy. He knows his music and would never allow me to post something other than what he recommends is good quality. Thanks for the inquiry. -Jo
You are correct. 2 reels; approx. 30 min. each side x4 sides = 2hrs. -Jo
My husband said that it is very good quality, and one of his all-time favorite Queen shows. He also said that he would accept an offer of $150 for the reels. Thanks again. -Jo

The Houston soundboard yet again. I hope nobody falls for this.
If you have reason to believe the listing is in any way fraudulent, I suggest you report it to e-bay.
Let me know how you get on.

Unfortunately by the 1980's most official releases had been reduced to 3.75 ips to save on tape, and quality suffered as a result.
Despite that they still sound great and are highly collectable.
