Professional recorded sound, but
not as good as a multi-track live recording. This is a
collection of the tracks which is from the television broadcast, and
the raw video made out to be shown at fan club conventions (in late

Comments: |
One more 2LP of this legendary Queen concert, at the Hammersmith
Odeon in London on the boxing day in 1979. This 2LP missing some
tracks, so it isn't the complete concert. 'We Are The Champions' is
not listed on the jacket, but features on the record.
The concert was
professional filmed and recorded, but only one track "Now I'm Here"
have been officially released on the 2LP "Concert for the people of
Kampuchea" which was released in 1980. A one hour TV 'Queen
Special' (60 minute) with live tracks from the concert, has been
broadcasted on television stations over the years. They have use
these live
tracks on this album. A raw video from this concert, was made out
to be shown on early Queen Fan club conventions. These live
tracks from this raw convention video, has also been used on this 2lp.
So this 2LP is a collection from two video sources. Queen production hasn't
officially released this great concert yet. Might have to do
with rights. The film seams to be own by Atlantic record. I'm not
sure, but problems with rights are common in music business.
Atlantic production has probably paid the cost for the
filming and audio recordings. Queen might have to buy the film
and audio tapes, and get the rights to released it. I'm not sure on
this, someone might know more. I would be glad to know. My email:
e-har-la@ho...l.no (hotmail.no) Anyway, It's looks nice, but...
The sale price for this 2LP as new on internet was from UK £ 19,58 up to UK £ 30,- and more I guess later on.
Please be aware, that the information that this 2LP is from a
radio broadcast, is NOT
correct. This concert was NEVER broadcast on radio
or TV. The only thing that was broadcast by Queen on TV was two
songs "Now I'm Here" (part of) and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"
a few days later. (Norwegian television). I know this, because I saw
it. Later on, the "Queen Special" 60 minute television program
was made in 1980, and broadcasted world-wide. This concert was
first time released on a Japanese bootleg 2LP named 'Crazy Tour' in
1980. (Missing some instrumental bits). Later on, available complete
on 2cd's & 3LP audience recorded. |
