Description
Queen : Live Magic A1/B2 1st Press
This first pressing plays with amazing clarity and depth and no interference at all. I would say it has only been played once maybe twice at most as the sonic quality is just stunning. There is even some vinyl 'flecking' around the spindle hole which you only find on barely played vinyls.
The gatefold and picture inner are also in superb condition.

Play grading
I have played every track in full and S1 is spectacular! Turn the lights off sit back and just soak in the atmosphere!! The clarity and depth from the first note to the last is outstanding and there is no interference to be heard. The clarity is out of this world and toy cannot fault the audio. This side grade as Mint it is that good. Even Freddie's 'ah-oh' section at the end has no 'background'!
S2 keeps up this fine standard with immaculate audio once again. The super quiet 'Is This The World We Created...?' plays beautifully with only a very small number of mega light dust ticks and the incomparable 'Bohemian Rhapsody' also plays with astounding clarity and power. 'Hammer To Fall' is Mint and the remaining tracks are of the same exact standard. What an album!
Visual grading
The vinyl is in lovely condition with only a small number of faint hairlines. There is a longer one on S1 but it has no bearing on the stunning quality of the audio. It still has a jet-black glossy sheen and there are no marks or scratches and no spindle wear either. When the record revolves you think it has a warp but it hasn't! It just hasn't been 'cut' in a perfect circle so gives this impression, quite strange really! A bit of an optical illusion!
The Gatefold
This glossy cover is in superb condition and remains very strong and robust like it has hardly ever been handled. The edges have barely any wear and the wide spine is near perfect as are the corners. The opening edge has no handling wear at all. The front cover is unmarked and the back has only a couple of small 'white' marks. The inside of the gatefold is immaculate and overall this cover grades as Near Mint it is a stunning example.
The Picture Inner
This is in perfect condition with no wear at all.
The Labels
They have no marking or writing, no spindle wear and even a little 'flecking' around the spindle hole.
