Throughout 1975 "Sheetkeeckers" came in various different colored xerox covers with photos and liner notes.

Track B5 is unlisted: Ballroom Blitz (Studio Version)

Released in the US in 1975, the Sheetkeeckers LP was the very first Queen bootleg. For some reason, Ballroom Blitz by Sweet is tagged onto the end. This first release was seen with the "Freddie live" insert.

This soundboard recording (multi-track, to be precise, since it certainly has been properly mixed) contains numerous vocal overdubs. The most glaring example of this is 3 minutes into Liar, when Freddie sings "time after time", and the next line begins before the previous one has ended. In addition to the overdubs, the fact that it's perfectly mixed, the between-song segments having been edited, and that it's 37 minutes long, this is clear indication that this was considered to be a live album by the band. Naturally, the cover songs were omitted so that they wouldn't have had to pay any royalties.

Freddie asking the audience "What comes next?" (between "I want you" and "To be a woman") during the second chorus of Son And Daughter is cut out on this audio source.

In 1975, the Sheffield brothers, who were still managing Queen at the time, wanted to release this as the band's third album, and Queen rejected the idea as they wanted to focus on creating new music instead. Within months Queen changed management rather acrimoniously, and tapes of this show ended up in the hands of bootleggers. The version heard is allegedly Roy Thomas Baker's mix.

The band's first officially released live album would eventually come in 1979, in the form of Live Killers.

Quality: A-
