I have got hundreds of bootlegs, but I never found something like "Licensed from Queen ... "! Check your bootlegs!! You will see, they are not so stupid to do that!! Licensed and distributed is mentioned, but never any kind of Queen Company! And there is good reason for that![/QUOTE]

Some years ago Mr. Bad Guy was also not available here in Europe, while you could buy it offically in the US.
So no idea if that CD at ebay ever was released like this in the UK like the seller says!
Apart from that Star Fleet was anyway released as b-sides to Back to the Light.

No wonder you have problems spotting the differences between official and pirate releases, if you have problems telling the differences between the bootleg labels which are actually written on the package. :/[/QUOTE]
So the Live in Montreal must be a bootleg too, right?? Strange that it is official! No EMI, no Queen Productions and still an official release!

Until recently Montreal was never owned by QP. Those other concerts are owned by QP. Believe what you want but they are all bootleg releases.

Like I said before, you cannot tell the difference between counterfeits and official products. But you also can't seem to tell the difference between material owned by QP, and material owned by other corporations, which makes you even less qualified in this topic... Not to mention that you have a hard time actually reading the packages!
I know it's hard to understand, and even some of the moderators on the official website have been fooled by the products being "available in their local shop", but quite simply you have no clue what you're talking about.

And I think you have no idea!! You think that only what is owned by Queen Productions or EMI is official! How foolish to think so!!
Just that this is not the case!! There is so many footage around that is owned by TV stations or other private companies.
A bootleg does not care about copyright at all. Montreal is a normal legally correct release, just not owned by Queen Productions!!

Hey folks,
yesterday they wrote on queenonline.com that the next DVD-release for the Queen DVD collecion will be "Montreal" It´ll come with extras (yet unknow which face they´ll have) and maybe a different title then the usual VHS-release. So this is official and all the other stuff from the end of nowhere is just a pirate´s cottage.
End of session.

I wasn't the one who said "And looks not like a bootleg to me, at least it says "licensed by Queen Film Ltd." "... I wonder who that was, because that somebody sure is foolish and unaware of any actual legal matters.
Let's just look at the facts of this release again... It hasn't been advertised anywhere, it's a direct copy from at least a decade old release with no extras, it's only being sold by one merchant through Amazon and two in EBay for half the price of any official dvds, and so far you are the only person to have seen it in a shop
Why on Earth would anybody believe this is anything other than a bootleg dvd at best, and more likely just a pirate release?

With only 1 disc... it can only be a bootleg.

anything from masterplan is bootlegs. have several releases from that company, and none are official
Releasing this DVD would be a downer. I think they have exhausted the 80's concert releases. To similar a set list from 84-86. At least IMO.
Whilst HMV have this down for release yesterday (9/4/07), Play have it for July - see here:
http://play.com/Music/MusicDVD/4-/3344771/Queen_Live_in_Rio_1985/Product.html
They also have tracklisting (same as VHS) and some marketing text saying "tankfully, zero varnish has been added to the raw sound on these live recordings from 1985, making this drumfire of hits charmingly rough around the edges"
So, in summary, "charmingly rough around the edges" means still sounds as crap as the original release - I don't know how QPL let them get away with it.
From memory, this is a Queen Films Ltd concert, but maybe the local TV company responsible for the TV rights in Brazil also have some control over the rights??
