June releasing.
A little handful of pro-bootlegs with Queen has seen daylight this June month. All from Japanese labels, as far as I know.
The most interested one is a new one from the great Tarantura label. This time a un-released concert. Again from Mr. Peach's collection, and as always on silver pressed cd's and fold-out carton cover.
Rare Cuts Vol. 2 has also seen daylights. Also this is on silver pressed cd. Not the most interested release, do to the facts that most of the tracks are collected from officially albums or similar releasing.
