Description

Queen – Live

Released: 1985 | Elektra Records | 60343-1 | Original Australian Pressing | LP

Live is a rare Australian-only Queen release issued in 1985 to coincide with the band’s Australian tour. Rather than being a conventional new live album, it is a specially compiled single LP drawing heavily from the band’s celebrated Live Killers recordings, bringing together a selection of Queen’s biggest live performances in a compact 12-track set.

The album captures Queen’s extraordinary live energy across a selection of classic performances, including We Will Rock You, Let Me Entertain You, Killer Queen, Bicycle Race, Don’t Stop Me Now, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are the Champions. The release is particularly interesting to collectors because of its Australian-only status and distinctive picture sleeve, which carries the Special Australian Tour Release designation.

An unusual and highly collectable piece of Queen vinyl, this Australian tour edition is a particularly interesting addition to collections of Queen, Australian record releases and rare promotional or regional pressings.
