***** QUEEN ... RARE 1974 DEMO.. SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE *****

WITH MIS-PRESSED RELEASE DATE

A RARE ORIGINAL DEMO FROM QUEEN , RELEASED ON 23rd FEBRUARY 1974, THEIR SECOND SINGLE AND FIRST CHART HIT.. THIS RARE DEMO WAS SENT OUT TO RADIO STATIONS BEFORE THE RELEASE OF THE SINGLE AND IS STAMPED WITH 'DEMO RECORD-NOT FOR RESALE'

THIS ONE WAS SENT TO OUR LOCAL RADIO STATION WHERE IT WAS RESCUED BEFORE IT WAS PLAYED TO DEATH , AND HAS 13/2/74 WRITTEN ON IT AS IT WAS SENT OUT 10 DAYS BEFORE THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF THE SINGLE IN THE UK, WHERE IT PEAKED AT #10, ALTHOUGH STRANGELY THE RECORD HAS THE RELEASE DATE STAMPED ON IT AS 25/2/74.... AS QUEENS FIRST SINGLE 'KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE' FAILED TO EVEN CHART , THERE WERE VERY FEW OF THE DEMO'S FOR THE SECOND SINGLE SENT OUT, SO THIS ONE IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SERIOUS QUEEN COLLECTOR..

SIDE ONE... SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE DEMO.. EMI 2121 ( EMI2121A)

SIDE TWO... SEE WHAT A FOOL I'VE BEEN DEMO ..EMI 2121 (EMI 2121B)

SIDE TWO RUN -OUT GROOVE HAS RTB EMI 2121 B 1U
BOTH RUN OUTS HAVE A SMALL 'G' ENGRAVED ON THEM AT 1 O'CLOCK

THE VINYL IS IN VG++ CONDITION WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR MARKS ON THE SEVEN SEAS SIDE OF THE RECORD

THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAR WITH VERY LITTLE SPINDLE WEAR , AND SIDE ONE HAS 13/2/74 HAND WRITTEN ON IT AS THIS WAS THE DAY IT WAS SENT OUT FROM THE EMI PRINTING PRESS

BOTH LABELS HAVE THE MIS-PRESSED RELEASE DATE OF 25/2/74 STAMPED ON THEM

ALL RECORDS ARE SENT OUT FIRST CLASS, RECORDED DELIVERY TO AVOID ANY MISHAPS IN THE POST
