The World's bizarrest Queen collection is the most expensive

Mr Jim Hutton has a couple of fantastic unique items for sale, and a couple of very mundane ones.

Interesting that after a fairly generous inheritance and a book deal, he still, er, "decides to free up some closet space", shall we say.

Anyone like to hazrd a guess at the value of the prize item? I reckon Christies is the place for that one, £10K fairly comfortably.

I wonder what they're asking for the YDFM, TMLWKY and MIH vinyls - since they never were Freddie's stuff anyway... Besides that - I wouldn't give a dime more just 'because it was Freddies' for the, for example, Miracle hologram sleeve....

Is there a link to the stuff?

There's a list here: http://www.brianmay.com/queen/queennews/queennews.html and 'pictures follow shortly'

There's no indication of where to write to make an offer, but since Greg wrote the thing, his address is:
gb@queen-archives.fsnet.co.uk

Ron will definitely want those acetates

Nice.

Bet he doesn't have these though...

(I was just going through a bunch of ole emails and found these scans, so there's the tenuous link to the link...)

LOL. "Don't Try To Suicide"

The images have just been added to the site, and they are:

Clearly some of them haven't been taken very good care of.

Hey there fonz, is there anything particularly rare about the two items you've got up there, I've got two copies of LIC on vinyl and one on tape, and the Don't try suicide is just the B-Side of another one bites the dust is it not? I've got that sitting in front of me at the moment.
Still I'd imagine you're right about Mr Hutton's collection :-)

"Ron will definitely want those acetates"

yes I do :) but I'm afraid that they will become very expensive

What are all the white labeled records in the white sleeves?

And what country is Don't Try Suicide from? Here in the US they were using the red Elektra label instead of the old caterpillar one by 1980....

I guess in New Zealand they were still using the caterpillar label. And perhaps the typo makes it unique?

Given that Mr May is known as the most avid collector of all things Queen, how come he hasnt bid for some of the rarer stuff ?

He almost certainly has his own (pristine) copies of most of it, except the signed Barca album, which I can't see him being particularly keen on. Freddie's autograph couldn't mean less to him, I'd have thought.

regarding Brian's collection... can you still call it collecting when it's possible for him to get nearly everything? he's so close to all sources. all he has to do is ask the people "hey can you keep me one or two copies of that record when it's miss pressed or when it's different?"
