One of the rarest of the amazing 19 different versions of "A Night At The Opera" released in South Korea.
This is an unofficial release. Monochrome covers with a tint of colour are a common trait of Korean bootlegs. 6 of the 19 versions were released with this design and, according to the prices on Queen Database, this is the rarest of this variant (valued at €90).
Condition Sleeve - as they were independent releases, the printing and paper quality was never the highest. This has survived pretty well compared with many of the other types I've seen. There is smudging on the front and the back. There is some edge wear and there is some writing on the back towards the top left. Inner Sleeve - a simple paper sleeve with ring wear and some tearing. Record - South Korean independent LPs tended to use second- or third-generation metal masters meaning there is a completely unique sound to the songs. The LP itself, although unplayed, looks in great condition. That said, you're buying this for the sheer collectability as it's part of the pantheon of the greatest band in the world. If you're looking for a copy to play on your turntable, buy this for your collection and an original UK/Japanese LP for your record player.
