Queen II album boldly signed on the inner gatefold in blue ballpoint, "Best wishes, Freddie Mercury," "Brian May," "John Deacon," and "Roger Taylor." These signatures were obtained in April of 1975 while Queen were traveling to Japan for their first of many concert tours of Japan. The signature placement by the band is perfect with Freddie, Brian, John and Roger signing beautifully by their respective images and the signatures are pristine. In very good to fine condition, with light scuffing and wear to the front and back covers; the interior is clean and fine. The record is included. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: "During the 1970s and 1980s my brother, Martin, and I used to regularly visit my father who lived in Singapore. When visiting him we used to take some of our favourite music with us to listen to while there. On one particular Singapore Airlines flight in 1974 or 1975 we spotted Queen going into the first class cabin, which excited my brother enormously. He was carrying the Queen II album with him and was an avid Queen fan. We therefore explained the position to the air stewardess and she took my brother up to first class to ask for Queen's autographs. He was on 'Cloud 9' for the rest of the trip." This is one of if not the nicest Queen signed albums that we have ever offered.
