Well keep hold of it ;)
Indeed, I never heard of it.
Does it have a catalogue number ?
From which country is it ?

What is CBC Inc supposed to be?
Sure it's meant to spell CBS! (The recordlabel)
Never heard of this either, but It's clear that this description depicts a promo-tape.

Does it have a plain white sleeve?
Then read the following, taken from RonB's site http://www.queenpicturehall.com
Released in 1985 as Freddie's first solo album. Released on LP, CD and cassette. The LP issue had a non-gatefold sleeve with a printed innersleeve containing lyrics and a photo.
The UK, French and Japanese CD issues had three bonus tracks.
Some cassette issues featured the Extended Version of I Was Born To Love You replacing the normal album version.
Korea had a unique black and white insert instead of a printed innersleeve.
Japanese LP issue had a four page insert including lyrics and a photo plus three 12" photo sheets. The obi was attached at the top of the sleeve instead of the left. The promo LP issue had also the four page insert, but no photo sheets. Instead it had a poster.
USA had a longbox CD issue.
A promotional four track cassette album was released in the USA with a plain white sleeve containing the tracks and some copyright info.
A pirate picture disc was released, probably made in the UK. It has a die-cut outer sleeve and features some extra tracks which aren't mentioned on the sleeve.

That's it! I checked that site, but somehow managed to miss that part.
Any idea how rare (or valuable) that cassette is?
