Queen's breakout self titled debut UK album boldly signed by the entire band. This EMI - EMC 3006 album is a first British pressing, it has the "...and nobody played synthesizer" on the rear panel (cover). The record is included and the matrix numbers and info in the run outs are as follows: Side One YAX 4623 - 3U KIP HUGGYPOO KISSY Side Two YAX 4624 - 3U AGAIN!
The signature placements are perfect, with all the band signing in the rays of the spotlight with Freddie beautifully signing right next to his image!!
This incredibly rare signed Queen album comes with impeccable provenance, it was obtained during their first headline tour in March of 1974 by Keith Mullholland the bass guitarist for the the band Nutz who were the supporting band on the tour.
A similar copy to this one sold for $40,000.00 and it had signature placement issues and it didn't have any provenance.
The provenance for this Queen signed debut album cover is impeccable!!
It comes with a letter from Keith that reads "I, Keith Mullholland attest to the fact that I was the founding member of the band Nutz and obtained these signatures in person whilst on tour with Queen in 1974."
The album cover has some ringwear and creases which is quite normal for a cover that is over 50 years old (see scans). There is no writing on the cover or the record, which a lot of people wrote their names on the covers and the records back in the day. The album itself is in Good condition, it has been played quite a bit and has multiple scratches and the original inner sleeve is included.
This will come with a Letter of Authenticity from PSA, it should take about 3 to 4 weeks, depending on how busy they are with authentications post Super Bowl.
