Talk about Queen - The Game


Eigeni
Unable to identify my copy, need help please. Side A deadwax = SE-513-A GED [Brian Gardner flower and bird symbol] 0-15M3-4. Side B deadwax = 0-2 (scratched out) 0-3 SE-513-B GED [Brian Gardner flower and bird symbol]. The inner sleeve shows a picture of a bulldog on a wood floor with a "Two-up" game. Inner sleeve reverse shows album lyrics on background of same wood floor but without the dog. Cover is foil with black hype sticker in upper left corner.

Sounds amazing! I started off with a Dutch pressing from a record fair and it was a bit dull-sounding - I thought maybe the album was just recorded that way. But today I picked up a UK original just to compare, and it has so much more life to it. Maybe I simply had a worn copy to begin with. Anyway, this is a great recording.

I got the original US LP with the shiny cover. Since I used to live on the beach, it immediately got a kind of "white rust"...which is a pity...
