Comments:











 
Limited color vinyl bootleg with color cover. At least released on blue, white and green color vinyl. Other colors are also available. Clear vinyl also seems to exist. Also released on black vinyl.
This bootleg included 3 BBC session recordings. Side one from two 1974 sessions, and side 2 from the 1977 session.
You can find them on handful of bootlegs. (vinyl's & cd's).

Some of the tracks, is also available on the 'bonus' cd of the 2011 officially re-release Queen studio catalogue on Island Records.
This vinyl bootleg, is only of interest for Queen vinyl bootleg collectors.
In 2016, Queen production released officially all 6 BBC sessions complete on 2cd & 3LP. A box set contains 6 cd's was also released, included the 2cd BBC sessions and a cd with Queen live radio broadcastings, and 3 cd's with interviews with Queen members.

In December 2019, a test pressing was out on eBay. I'm not sure of this weird pressing. Might be an old test pressing, or a new pressing to make some money. All in all, I recommend to buy the officially released ones.
Roots: Original from BBC radio broadcast.

In December 2019, I became aware of a test pressing of this bootleg, cover below.
18 numbered copies made. Not sure when it was made out. I will say a -rip off-.
Not sure of color on the vinyl, but I will guess black.
