Comments: |
Well, actually a release to make money for the producer. Date on
cover say's January 12th., but as far as I know it's a mix of 2
dates. Queen played the open day on January 11th. and on January
18th. Sometimes listed January 12th. & 19th. This is because
Queen enter the stage after midnight on 11th. and 18th., so actually the date
is 12th. & 19th.
This is the sound from the 'Rock In Rio' officially
video release, which I have understand is a mix from both Queen gigs
on this 'Rock In Rio Festival 1985'. Pressed on
GREEN vinyl. I have read 285
copies was released. Around June 2020,
a limited edition of 115 numbered copies on
BLUE vinyl was released with same
packing/ cover as the green one. In March 2021, I come across a
pressing on YELLOW vinyl 150
copies.
In August 2020, I became aware of another pressing on CLEAR vinyl, and a new
alternative cover. This new version will be available on September 30th. 2020. (Later
change release date to October 6th. 2020) |
