Queen A Kind Of Magic Signed Test Pressing LP

In Queen’s history there are few examples of official signed memorabilia. The only known commercially available item is the fully signed Complete Works LP box released in 1985, which we’ll focus on soon.
Here’s one of the few examples of promotional items given out to record business men. It’s a fully autographed Test Pressing LP for the release of A Kind Of Magic in early 1986.
We’re not sure how many of these were sent out; there should be a couple of dozen, or someone says 30-40, but anyway not too many. The LP itself is a rare piece of vinyl. You know how rare test pressing LPs are, because they were only given to people involved in the making process of the album, the band’s members, and only a few copies were sent for advance promotion.
This signed test pressing was included in a white LP paper band featuring the autographs of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. And this is a good example of how the band signed in that period, especially Freddie, whose signatures changed a lot during his known career.

The run-off codes for both sides of the LP are the following:

MATRIX A: EU 3509  A-2U-1-1-    TOWNHOUSE DMM
MATRIX B: EU 3509  B-2U 1-1-1- TOWNHOUSE DMM

It’s not so easy finding a Test Pressing LP and faking a white sleeve. Be sure that if you come across one of these, at the bottom front of the white paper sleeve you find the following text, as pictured in the photo:
