Description

Rare opportunity to obtain both classic Queen UK first press 12" LP's - A Night At The Opera (1975) & A Day At The Races (1976).


First press releases of 'A Night At The Opera' can be identified through the use of an embossed sleeve design. It will also include an inner sleeve that has three cut corners.There is speculation as to whether first presses of this album can feature an inner sleeve with all four corners cut, but many think that this was a mistake made at manufacturing, and not a specific first press feature.


A Day at the Races is one of the more difficult Queen records to identify first presses of. As there weren't many UK releases of this particular album, the best way to see if you have an early press is to look out for the text '7612 G&L' on the rear side of the sleeve, as well as 'Recorded in England July to November 1976' on the inside of the gatefold. Early press releases of this record will also have four cut corners on its beige-coloured inner sleeve.


Both outer gatefold sleeves are excellent. Inner sleeve on A Night At The Opera had a tape repair at the bottom. Both inner sleeves have the first press cut corners.


Both vinyls are in excellent condition both sides, hardly used.


Great pair of classic Queen vinyl LP's.


Please look closely at the photos before buying as they form part of the description.


In pre-owned condition from a smoke-free home.


Any questions please ask. Thanks for looking.
