Here for sale is one of the most sought after Queen Records ever made. This Really is one of the Holy Grails for queen collectors and is featured as 'number 13' in the "GUEEN: TOP 100 WORLDWIDE RARITIES" Lists made by ‘The Record Collector’ Queen Specialists.

IMPORTANT! - I can be certain that this Item is genuine. - "Should you be in the market for the genuine article, check the run-off groove. The matrix number should be intact, if it has been scratched out, you're being offered a dud." [Quoted from record collector article] - The matrix number is untouched in any part and there is not a single mark anywhere around it to imply it has been meddled with in any way. It is STAMPED not scratched into the vinyl. Thus indicating it is an authentic pressing!(Record Collector also have a caption about this record in the latest edition and have valued this record at £750! You can grab it in this auction for a bargain price!)

Record:

The record its self is absolutely perfect. I don’t think it has ever seen a needle on either side. Its gleaming and bright as they day it was pressed with not a single mark anywhere on the surface. Does another copy exist in this absolutely untouched and Amazing Perfect condition? This is the version with the "Radio Ga Ga" (Short Version) on one side and the "Radio Ga Ga" (Single Version) on the other. This is the rarest version of the record.

Sleeve:

The sleeve is in almost as perfect condition as the record. Examining it closely, the only thing I can see wrong with it is there is a small, faint tape mark running along the very edge of the record sleeve. The tape has been removed along time ago and the stain left has slowly faded away and is hardly visible now. The sleeve is photocopied (this is how it should be so don’t worry) and there are no rips or creases anywhere. There is also a sticker on the bottom left corner of the sleeve but this I presume this was part of the record as like a reference sticker. (The circle in the scan is not imprinted on the sleeve or marked on part of the sleeve in any way, it is merely the inner sleeve behind the cover showing through)

Inner Sleeve:

The inner sleeve is the original sleeve that was given out with the record and is also near perfect. But the tape was rapped around the edge of the sleeve onto the inner presumably to keep them together. The tape stain is still quite visible but this does not affect the rarity of the record as these sleeves can be easily replaced if wanted. It’s the Outer graphic sleeve and the record you want in NEAR MINT condition, as this one is!

How many of these records actually exist is anyone’s guess, but the question is how many people who have them, actually will sell one?! The answer is probably very, very few, if any at all. This type of thing is locked away in a dedicated Queen collector’s vaults never to be let go of again! This could be one of the last chances to own this massive rarity so Grab it whilst you still can! This is probably one of the best examples that could ever come on the open market up for grabs to anyone who is willing to expand their collection with a Crisp, Near perfect, Unplayed ORIGINAL pressing of this truly legendary single.        Just think about what you could say to a fellow collector about your amazing purchase of one of the rarest Queen items ever!!!

Below are a few scans of the record and the contents. I hope these are satisfactory and that they help you in assessing the record. I assure you that you will not find a copy of this in better condition for sale for a very long time, if ever, as this truly is in fantastic condition. These records were usually sent away to radio stations well away from public attention and packaging thrown away, stored, or played to death as the requests came in for the fantastic song, and destroyed by constant use.

Please Note:

If there are any questions you may have about this item or any other I have for sale please don’t hesitate to contact me about them, as I want you to be very happy with your fantastic rare purchase.

Please be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list as I have another rare Japanese Queen promo for sale in the following weeks as well as an Early Japanese Pink Floyd single which is also in the same condition as this. ABSOUTELY AMAZING!
