[ptracerfastlane]

Is this from one of those acetate recordings that have been mentioned in the past?

[DaveRFuller]

@ptracerfastlane Yes

[ArquestQ]

Where the hell did you get it from?

Maybe it's revenge for what Queen Productions is doing with band's 40 anniversary?

[DaveRFuller]

@ArquestQ haha what? No, I'm looking forward to what QP has in store for the anniversary, if anything :)

[GoGoGoLilQueenie]

WOW! At first it doesn't sound like Roger singing, and then all of a sudden it does!

[SoloperEnnio]

@tregter7 Hey bud, I was wondering, seeing as you been there, if The Penmare in Hayle really was the 'gayest nite-spot' in Cornwall as it says in the I got You vid of this band??! I'm an ex sailor living in Plymouth and there's a few here would compete for that title(if they were in Cornwall, of course!). And, by the way, I'm not gay myself, even if I am an ex-matelot living in Plymouth, so I wasnt looking for a venue if you know what I mean?Brill vocals again from Mr Meddows-Taylor

[photoboy66]

well done! I've had this on a cassette for about 15 years (can't reveal my sources!) but I have mislaid the darn thing in various house moves. Always annoyed me that it wasnt in my collection. You have solved my dillema!!
