I have a 12" (I should probably stop there) picture disc LP called "Tribute to Queen." It's from the early 80s and on both sides shows a colour drawing of the band members dressed in leather. Fred has a hawk on his shoulder for some reason. The music on the album is cover versions by someone I've never heard of. Does anyone know what this is worth, if anything? Can't seem to find it on the net...

No one else has it? It must be worth a fortune then. To the auction houses Jeeves and don't spare the horses!

The picture disc is illustrated, not a photograph. It is the same illustration on both sides but only one side has writing. All four band members are wearing combo biker/bondage gear - part Mad Max, part Rob Halford's wish come true. Fred has striped red and white trousers, spiked knee pads and a hawk on his shoulder. Being such a nice chap, Brian is presumably giving the victory sign and not the "eff off" sign. In his other hand, Brian has a spiked weapon. Roger is holding a chain. All four band members have codpieces.
Very tasteful.
If I remember correctly, the music is cover versions by one band with a male singer. I don't have a record player so I can't be sure - I haven't listened to this for about 15 years. I also have some memory of the Fan Club telling fans not to buy this as it is "unofficial." Probably released about 1983.

Baktabak were the interview picture disc specialists, so it may well be from them.
Other than that, I can't help you, but if Chad were here he'd be well excited...
