But the other matrix numbers matches exactly the ones from the red vinyl issue. I&#8217;d like to get a copy in black vinyl with same date of that. According to the seller this item was from a former EMI rep in Mexico.<br \/>\nIt may be one of the &#8220;complimentary&#8221; test pressings that were made inside the pressing plant to make special presents or just to own unique items . It&#8217;s impossible to know how many copies were pressed but for sure it&#8217;s one of the rarest Queen colored vinyls.<\/p>\n<div class=\"2416a19e08873d0076105f82e7f970da\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6280590296994447\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- stretto -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:500px;height:100px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6280590296994447\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5886106757\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greatest Hits red vinyl from Mexico The Queen record hunting in Central\/South America has given another fruit.
