Description

Phenomenal double-sided UK handbill promoting Queen's spring tour of 1974, which was their first as a headliner and in support of their newly released Queen II record. The handbill measures 8.25 x 11.75, listing March tour dates and showing the band as pictured on the gatefold of their 1974 album Queen II, beautifully signed in blue ballpoint by Freddie Mercury and Brian May, in black ballpoint by Roger Taylor, and in black felt tip by John Deacon. The reverse side of the handbill features the now infamous album cover photograph. In very good condition, with light creasing. Queen's landmark second album, Queen II, was released on March 8, 1974. The consignor notes that this was signed at the County Ballroom in Taunton, England, on March 30, 1974. Signed very early in Queen's remarkable career and at a pivotal time for the band, this is an exceedingly desirable piece. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
