Has this been seen before? I wonder what Innuendo and um...oh gosh...you know who I mean...think of this.

Edit to add: Fran!

This single has been offered to me a couple weeks back by the seller and I asked Innuendo about it. But I am sure he will answer here in his own words.

I take it you passed at any rate. I will message Innuendo - something about this seems strange to me but this is not my strong suit.

So it is indeed genuine then?

Sorry, I was a little late to the "there is only 1 Andy in this thread" observation :(

This item is indeed genuine. Not pretty. But genuine. If I had to guess, I'd say 80 to 81 rushed.

Thank you for commenting! I guess it was the "not pretty/rushed" thing that caused my "looks strange" comment.

Nope, I was close. 82. Sorry, just read it.

A bit on the pricey side due to the rushed sigs, contrast issues, and it's a 45 not a full size LP.  But after the movie the Queen Mania is still going strong!

I'm not a huge Queen fan or any kind of authority on their autographs but to me it looks like a great item and not ridiculously pricey given what sets on paper seem to be going for.

The best aspect of the piece for me would be the massive Freddie autograph. With all due respect to the other three band members, he is the one that matters. 

Several people have mentioned these as being rushed examples. Are they really that rushed? Maybe Roger and John. Can anyone post comparisons?

Last but not least, the contrast looks OK to me too. I can see it's blue ink on a blue background but the ink doesn't look at all faded and the Freddie is very clear.

Freddie had a few different rushed styles for the time. The less attractive being one of his simplified looks and the best being something along these lines. Here's an example of all 4 guys in relaxed conditions at around the same time. The Freddie style seen in these photos isn't as known as the others as it was what I consider to be one of his transition graphs. Meaning it was signed during the years between two established and very different styles. The item is genuine but yes it is rushed. The John is what led me to say "not pretty" but that's just my opinion.
