Description

A Night At The Opera presented to a fellow rock and roller in 1976

A Night At The Opera album signed and inscribed on the front cover, “All the best Bill, Brian May,” “Freddie Mercury,” “John Deacon,” and “Keep Yourself Alive! Roger Taylor.” A ‘Night At The Opera’ backstage pass is affixed to the back cover. In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling to covers and gatefold, light ‘ring of wear’ to covers, some light foxing along hinge, crease to back cover, and a yellow dot affixed to top right corner of cover. The record is included. Signatures were acquired on February 2, 1976, when the band played the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia and is accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient of the signatures, who himself was in a rock group and whose manager arranged a meeting with Queen. At the time of its release, A Night at the Opera was the most expensive album ever recorded. The highlight of the album, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ is often considered their magnum opus, and one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
