What’s Your Favorite Memorabilia?

Hey everyone! Just curious what your favorite Queen memorabilia are? Is it a Freddie t-shirt or a Queen poster or a live concert ticket? When and where did you get it? Is there a story behind it? It would be interesting to see what was sold back in the 70s up until today. Please feel free to share your treasures. And post photos if you have any! Xoxo

Made In Heaven original black vinyl lp. Just because of the luck I had finding it and the fun I had on that Queen day in The Netherlands when I was about 16.

Stick, do you still have it? Might be worth something. I would want to keep it though. A lot of things seem to be going back to old school like vinyl records, Polaroid camera, typewriters, etc like it’s a novelty.

Oh yeah I still got it. Value rises every year but I dont want to part with it because its very rare. I don't remember how many were made but they are rarely for sale anywhere.
Also have a mint copy of John Deacons only solo single and some other stuff I treasure regarding vinyl and cds. And have a huge flag with Freddie at Knebworth on it.

So. ... The original pressing is something unusual?
I seem to have lost the site that lists all categories of releases.

Me?...nothing super special, I stopped collecting a long time ago when HOLLYWOOD RECORDS wouldn't release the FM SOLO COLLECTION in full.

Then most subsequent releases weren't much. Favorite things would be simply my INNUENDO tapestry and my BARCELONA l.p. release poster, which i hope is safe - as it's been tucked in storage for the longest time

Yeah the original black vinyl version of MIH was pretty limited i've been told. Kes on Queenline is quite the knowledge guru on this stuff.
Apparently the idea was to make the white vinyl the limited one but somehow the opposite happened.

I like the record store displays, like the album mobiles that hand from the ceilings. Mostly, that stuff came from Elektra

I have several collectible items,ranging from original Japanese 7"pressings of Keep Yourself Alive And Seven Seas Of Rhye.All the albums on White Label pressings,but I think my most valuable item must be a set of acetates from the Sheer Heart Attack era.These all came in original orange Trident sleeves.I won these in a sealed auction back in 1988.They are as follows:-Killer Queen/Flick Of The Wrist 12" acetate,Sheer Heart Attack Side 1 and Side 2 on 2 acetates,and another copy of side 1.The Killer Queen one was the most puzzling as it had Gash Acetate JD handwritten on the cover.Was it supposed to be pressed for John Deacon ?.As for values,I really hav'nt a clue how much they are worth,though it would be interesting to fing out though.

I saw Queen at Newcastle in 1975,possibly my favourite
live show. Imagine my surprise when a week later a friend gave me a tape of the show.low quality but what a memento.Quite funny to hear 2,500 geordies singing along to the opera section opening. Lost it in my first divorce......I really miss that tape....

Well, not much to boast about here for me. Possibly the biggest sentimental value would be the "Let Me Live" single as it was the first single I ever bought and the original "GH3" since it contains a nice booklet and a different CD case from later pressings, lol. But that's about it, not really into the whole collecting business.

I also enjoy my "criminal urge to twist and shout"


Though I'm not certain that's a product.

I've got a NECA or MECA thing of a giant Freddie Mercury that supposedly plays radio gaga. Also some tin vehicles. ...die cast stuff. One is a bit large with NOTW iconography on it and the other is like a hot wheels van with ANATO crest on it.

The plastic apparently got old where i had it and the glue yellowed a bit though it's unopened.

Imagine the trash i bought for this band. Geez

matt z, yeah, plastic deteriorates over time. For your poster, you may want to make sure it's in a cool, dry location. Back then, they didn't make acid-free stuff and it also may be brittle. Your tapestry sounds cool. Is it like a piece of fabric with print?

tempusfugit, sorry to hear about your losing that tape from the concert. What a bummer!

Stick, that large flag from Knebworth must be something! Were you at that concert? They say it had 160,000-200,000 people in attendance.

ianlasseter, wasn't sure what acetate was but now I know. LOL

So many treasures that bring so many good memories. I usually value the old vintage stuff as you can't replace them.

Yeah that's true. I ignored the black vinyl and bought two of the ivory coloured vinyl instead and both remain sealed to this day. Thought the black vinyl wouldn't be worth anything so didn't bother...how wrong I was :D

@HelloDelilah No I wasn't at Knebworth, I was just one year on this planet at that time. Picked up the flag in a shop in London when I was there for a few days when I was 17 or 18. I think I also got a Made In Heaven the videos DVD in Harrods.
And the last thing I acquired on that trip was a hard cardboard advertising poster for the WWRY musical that hung next to the escalator in a tube station. There were lots and lots of them but all stuck inside metal frames but a friend noticed that one of the frames was broken and so we went back and managed to get it out. Walked around all day with it when visiting Greenwich Park and eventually slid down the hill on it which was great fun. Didn't damage it one bit so pretty good quality stuff.
