Since less ealry years of this century nobody\u00a0 knew about\u00a0 that a rare edition in red vinyl of The Game album was pressed in limited quantites by EMI in Ecuador. Thanks to internet connections and especially through auction sites a certain number of collectors from central\/south america did showd up and start to sell obscure pressings from that country. This red vinyl issue is one of that.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/queenmuseum.com\/?attachment_id=3234\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3234\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3234\" src=\"https:\/\/queenmuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3091-2\/queen_thegame_rojo_lpb_a1.jpg\" alt=\"queen_thegame_rojo_lpb_a1\" width=\"521\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a>\r\n<div class=\"2416a19e08873d0076105f82e7f970da\" data-index=\"4\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/rcm-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?o=29&p=26&l=ur1&category=prime_video&banner=145YC6XKJN2WZ21YRD82&f=ifr&linkID=04b588e03156f0ac163b0eee69e01120&t=queenmucom-21&tracking_id=queenmucom-21\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" scrolling=\"no\" border=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\r\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">The Game<br \/>\nred vinyl Ecuador EMI<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">EMI 303 00383<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>As this record is more than 25 years old some people had some doubt about its authenticity. But collector who wants to buy have to be quite confident because it is genuine record. Let&#8217;s see why.<br \/>\nAs various pressing from Ecuador the label seems to have some engraved circles as you can see from the next picture:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/queenmuseum.com\/?attachment_id=3235\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3235\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3235\" src=\"https:\/\/queenmuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3091-2\/queen_thegame_rojo_lpb_a3.jpg\" alt=\"queen_thegame_rojo_lpb_a3\" width=\"350\" height=\"345\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>So it was surely pressed in Ecuador with typical pressing plants (Fidesa) which seems to have characterized all the vinyl LP pressings from that country.<\/p><div class=\"2416a19e08873d0076105f82e7f970da\" data-index=\"2\" 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<!-- quadrato -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:500px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6280590296994447\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"6452889443\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>Another important factor which turned to be very important to identify thi pressing is analyze its DNA, which is the matrix numbers written in the dead wax, or run-out groove to be more precise.(dead wax side A: 7161-EMI-12-S-1 ; dead wax side B: 7162-EMI-12-S%)<br \/>\nWell, comparing the numbers, letter, the way they are written, it turned up that the red vinyl issue has got the same style and exact match numbers of the more common black vinyl issue from Ecuador, both commercial and promo version (see photo below). I did same comparision also between the blu vinyl issue\u00a0 and the black vinyl from Colombia of A kind of Magic LP and they show that they were pressed by the same matrix.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/queenmuseum.com\/?attachment_id=3236\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3236\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3236\" src=\"https:\/\/queenmuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3091-2\/queen_thegame_rojo_lpb_a4.jpg\" alt=\"queen_thegame_rojo_lpb_a4\" width=\"329\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Another great discovery in 2008. a Pink\/red vinyl of Greatest Hits issued in Ecuador.
