QUEEN
'A KIND OF MAGIC'
12" ALBUM PROOF SLEEVE
Thought by many to be the crown jewels of Queen memorabilia, this will be for many collectors, THE lost ark.
It is widely believed that this is only one of 4 in existence worldwide.
For those fans or collectors who will note be familiar with this sleeve, it was dumped at the 11th hour by Freddie and the band, in favour of the much more recognised multi-coloured cartoon style which was eventually released.
It has been carefully wrapped and stored away since it first came into my possession almost 25 years ago and retains it's original look.
It is by far and away the must have item for Queen collectors and those of general music related memorabilia.
The front cover features a still of the band. The inside cover details tracks from the album as featured in the movie 'Highlander', plus a price of £3.89 and the release date of 19th May 1986.
Also listed are the tour dates plus the wording "This album release will be supported by the same level of campaign as 'The Works' - full page ads, major window display material, flyposting etc. Queen Productions and Harvey Goldsmith are also taking selected billboard sites advertising the tour and the album". This wording indicates this as a proof sleeve and would have been omitted for an advertisement on the final print run.
This is likely to be much sought after and its value can only increase.
Please feel free to email with any questions.
Shipping in the UK, Europe and worldwide is available and I will charge precisely what it costs to post. I will not charge for any packing materials at all. It will be securely packed to ensure its safe delivery.
Due to current ebay policies, I am unable to indicate postage costs as for insurance purposes, this will need to be sent Special Delivery. Ebay will not allow me to list this item unless I indicate free p&p. I hope this clarifies the position.
