One would hope that Freddie's friend offered to give copies to Mrs. Bulsara and Freddie's sister.

Yeah... and I hope they will offer it to us fans via download! How about 99 pence per second? :-)))
I just got a email, Brian and Jim Beach now know about it.
Hey Barry, could you tell us what the email from QP or BM said if you are comfortable doing so? I wonder if they didn't know about it until someone told them it was on ebay?
Thanks!
Just a little bit of secret history.
Around September or October 2000, I was priviledged to attend a special cinema screening premier of the (then newly) rough cut version of the film - Freddie Mercury: The Untold Story - at the Odeon Cinema, Leicester Square, London - if I recall correctly.
Present at this event were representatives of Queen Productions ltd, (including Jim Beach), and members of the Bulsara family.
During the post-screening soiree, I especially asked Rudi Dolezal (one of the notorious Torpedo Twins) why this footage, along with audio Hectic recordings NOT included in the film?
Apart from his glib dismissal regarding the existence of such material, I got the distinct feeling that they were NOT prepared to do the little additional telephoning around to find the current owner, (regardless of the fact that I could provide a contact number), but more importantly, that for a multi-million pound organisation, they were NOT prepared to pay the few pounds (relatively speaking) for the asking price.
