It does look like early 80s Freddie. Only issue I have with it is that Freddie stopped dotting his "I" with circles around 79, yet the rest of the Sig looks to be from mid 80s. In the 70s his F was not rounded, it was sharp, like the corner of a square. Having said that, there are always rarities that are not necessarily fakes. This album was released in 81...so Freddie kind of slowed down with the circle over the I..What year was it said to be signed on?

Sorry, I don´t have that information. All I know is that the current owner has had this for 15 years...

Juding by the way he signed love, I'd say its most likely genuine. If it was signed close to 79-81ish, I could look the other way when it comes to the circle over the eye. Like everyone else, he had some sloppier sigs, or rushed sigs that vary from the norm, and some "perfect" sigs like those mass produced for posters or promo cds. This one seem just a tad off, but that doesn't qualify it as a fake. Is it for sale?

Yes, I saw it this morning on ebay. It looks good but I'd prefer getting more informations and provenance when buying solo autograph and from 80's. But this is just my way. Cheers Ferdy

Yes, it was on ebay for $160! But the seller ended the auction before anyone bid and he/she did not answer my mail...
