has anyone ever heard of a vinyl copy of" live killers" where side one has been mispressed with charles gounod's "faust" instead of the listed songs?
I have looked on the internet for any reference to the mispressing of this album but, i can't find anything.

The intro is from Barcelona, the rest is from Frankfurt
Noooo... Death On Two Legs is from Barcelona. Killer Queen and Bicycle Race are Frankfurt.
It's kind of weird to think that this thread was started 8 years ago. Makes you feel.. small.

Munich 79 was produced by the Südfunk Stuttgart (a regional public TV station), the name of the show was "Musicbox mit Thomas Gottschalk" 45 minutes, about 25 minutes concert footage, the rest about the venue, stage, band interview etc.
Kampuchea features in a programme called "The Queen Special" produced by Don Normann and Jim Beach (therefore we know that QP have the concert in excellent quality)The progarmme aired on German TV but the spoken parts were voiced over. About 50 minutes.

Sorry but I have no information about the other TV programmes.
Also, Greg Brooks confirmed that they have full video of the Kampuchea concert, but that they do not know where the multitrack audio is - they do have a full stereo mixdown.
If anyone is hesitant to take my word for it, send me a PM - I still have the e-mail where Greg confirms this.

I have the Tokyo 23/04-25/04/79 recordings and I can confirm that the 30 minutes video that is in circulation is definately not from the 24-04 or at least not in its' entirety. I haven't done a song by song comparison yet, but it's very obvious on some of the tracks. For example on the video Freddie introduces LMEY in Japanese which matches the 25-04 show perfectly while on the audience recording of the 24-04 show he does another introduction("..are you ready to rock, are you ready to roll...?"). The 25-04 audience recording is pretty good and clear and I'm quite sure most of the tracks on the video are from the 25-04 show. I'm almost 100% sure about WWRY(fast), LMEY and the (part of the) medley.
Does this mean some bits of the circulating footage come from some different Japanese show (23/04 or 24/04)?
P.S.

Queen was the first band ever to play at the NEC and this was on the 5th of December 1980. I have once read a newspaper article about that.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, some Japanese magazines claim that the TV broadcast was not from the 13th of April 1979 concert but 25th of April. I must check my audio bootleg of this show and compare it to the video.
In Decmber 1980, they were the first band to play the NEC Arena, which is only part of the Whole NEC. There are many other exhibition halls on the site, where concerts took place before the Arena itself (which is quite cool and looks like a giant spider) was finished.
Queen played the NEC on the CrazyTour Nov '79. At that time it was not the Arena but one of the empty Exhibition Halls. I know because I was there and nearly got killed in the crush (no seats, no barriers, just the stage plonked down at one end.
Roger and John did Tiswas at the ATV studios earlier in the day. We went down and saw the Phantom Flan Flinger flan a woman inpersonating the Queen in an OB outside the studios as the show started.
