Queenland: "The common "Marquee 1972" bootleg is a FAKE mix sourced in fact from the Oxford 20/11/1973 soundcheck+concert, not from the real 1972 recording as on the reel-to-reel.More details on my "Fake Live" guide on http://paginas.terra.com.br/arte/queenland/qfake.htm"

That is indeed correct Queenland, but there is also a genuine bootleg of the same concert also. This boot is very rare and appeared on LP only c1975 - 76 (between "Opera" and "Races") - it was never a great disc as the sound source was so poor. (The original reel-to-reel tape was so much better - but that too is similar in sound to the "Ibex tape - so not much cop by to-day's standards!)

The cover was a plain white card/paper sleeve with photocopy insert - so it was never a thing of beauty either.

As it was not "collectable", it never "repeated" the initial run. (I guess at perhaps a hundred or so discs?).

The later bootlegs (mainly CD) noticed that the track listing was (as you correctly pointed out) similar to Oxford 20/11/1973 - and so the one became substituted for the other, and as you also correctly allude to, this "mistake" has never been corrected.

Can you please let me know what is the exact title/matrix number/record company/country of this LP ?
I never heard about a Marquee 72 bootleg vinyl disc.

"Live at the Marquee" - UK "release" no other info except on the run in groove... "Shang-a-lang" and "Thanks Les". No catalogue number or company information, which supports the idea of a private pressing.

The album cover is very similar to "sheetkickers" in that apart from a poor insert photocopy picture - on one side, and track listing on the other - that's it I'm afraid.

Wow - thank you VERY much for the info.
This one is not even on the Andreas Voigts discography (at least not on my 2000 edition) !
