I have a yellow vinyl of Queen at the Beeb stored somewhere. I bought a lot of Queen stuff as a teenager, and I think I found this one around 1985 in Oslo. I will look tomorrow!!!

Weird and cool!
I have Queen’s debut album in a Pink vinyl. I got it from my uncle who got it from the UK back when Queen released their Sheer Heart Attack album
I have a blue colombian vinyl of “A Kind of Magic” which my cousin happened to buy for my birthday for like USD $5. Nor she or the seller knew about its value.
