THE CONCERT FOR  KAMPUCHEA

  1 LP

 
Label: Prime Vinyl 014   PV014
Country: Europe.
Released: May 12th. 2023 (planed). Was might not out before June.
Recorded: Hammersmith Odeon, London England.  December 26th 1979.
Sound:  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 80ies and early 90ies).
Cover: Color cover.
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.
Roots: From two video sources.
