    I ain't got a clue about concerts, but does anybody know anything
    about the new album?
    
    I've heard rumours that the band have been in the studio for a 
    couple of months and a new album will be out this year.
                                                                                
    Hopefully they'll tour again to promote the album.
                                                 
    (As usual my reply is of no help to anybody :�))

    See note 295 for details of the new album
    

    Daft request:
    
    Have any of you lot got a copy of Bohemiem Rhapsody, released on
    "royal purple" vinyl in about 1977?
    
    I'm willing to pay a worthwhile amount for this if its in good condition.

    Queen are touring Europe later this year , and will play a couple
    of Wembley Stadium dates . Don't know the exact dates yet but I've
    got a reserve booking with WS booking office . Keep your eyes peeled,
    or better still , do the same . 

                                    PETE :->
    

    Re.6
    
    Wot's all this 'Reserve Booking'?
    
    Can you elaborate a bit more - I didn't know there was such
    a system!
    
    Ta in advance
    Mazzer
    

	When they decide their European tour, please let me know !
	I'll go to Europe again for the Queen gigs.

	Thank you in advance,
	Regards, Ets   

    Still no news yet as to the exact dates - believe me I have tried
    to find out . As to the reserve booking try ringing one of the concert
    travel companies - they'll probably want a deposit .           
                (incidentally , I have to admit to having a contact
    in the Wembley booking office)
                                  PETE
    

    Its oout at last,
    
    I want it all... great song watch it move up them charts

    I rang Wembley Stadium booking office today, they didn't know
    anything about Queen playing there this year, and they certainly
    wouldn't take a reserve booking.

RE: .10

I checked the record shop  and imported record shop last night, but it wasn't
yet in Tokyo. When it was released in UK ? BTW what is the title of album ?

Love, Ets

    I've heard the new Queen single quite alot down here.   As I don't
    understand Italian radio I thought it was a re-release from the late
    70's (We Are The Champions era) not a new song (honest).   Hard to
    tell really isn't it ??

    Re: .11
    
    Having worked for a Boston promoter for 8 years, I can tell you
    why they won't give you that information.  Booking offices don't
    divulge tickets that haven't yet gone on sale until the band or
    their management gives them permission.  Once the promoter makes
    the announcement via radio or whatever, then it's ok.  So it's very
    possible that they will be touring but for now it's only an unconfirmed
    rumour.
    
    If you have a problem getting tickets, here is my suggestion for
    getting excellent seats (even for a sold-out show).  Every band
    is allotted a certain amount of press tix, and personal tix for
    crew and their own use.  On the day of the show, the band usually
    gives the tour manager a list of the # of tix they need, and the
    crew signs up for tickets they need.  Then the remaining tickets
    get released to the general public.  This usually happens about
    4 pm, during sound check the day of the show.  The box offices never
    announce it, and they usually release these tickets only at the
    location where the band is playing.  These tickets are ALWAYS the
    best seats in the arena, as well.  Usually a band is allotted around
    100 to 200 tickets per show per venue, therefore, a lot of tickets
    are sometimes available, and aren't even sold if no one goes to
    the box office to request them.
    
    If you call the box office at the venue prior to 4 pm, they will
    probably deny there are tickets, but sometimes they do tell you
    over the phone.  Your best bet is to just show up at the box office
    and play the waiting game for a while.  I've worked shows for 8
    years, and EVERY band does this, even in Europe!
    
    Good luck!   Tammi 

RE;.10

I got it at last !
BTW, I want it all was a picture CD, wasn't it ? :-) 

But I prefer other songs, like The miracle, or Was it worth it.. to
I want it all.

Regards,

Hi, 
Does anyone know about their new single which will be released in October
or new album which will be released in December ?

-Etsi

    
    So much time has past between note .15 and .16.
    
    Well??
    
    Did they ever tour? 
    How was it? (Brill no doubt)
    The last time Queen toured the states (at least the left coast) was for
    the Hot Space album. Action this day, killed!
    
    Has the new album been released yet? Loved the Miracle! The invisable
    man (CD remix) was my favorite.

Hi, Frank.

	They didn't have a tour for the alubm called The mirracle, 
	Becasuse Freddie didn't want to do so.     
    	So Roger organized his own band called "the Cross" and had
	several gigs in Europe.
	
	The New albume called "Innu..."(I fogat the title, sorry) will
	be released on  January 30th in Japan, so maybe Xmas time or
	new year's time in Europe?!

	And this time, it semms Freddie want to have a tour....

	
-Etsi

    Hi Etsi,
    
       It's great to hear there is another album due soon.
       I'll be watching for what ever it's called.
    
       Did "The cross" cut an album or single?
       Do you know how the gig's went?
       I have two of Roger's other albums and there quite good.
       "Airheads" is the cut I usually play for folks.
    
    Frank
    
       

Hi,    Frank
   
The album was released , it was called "Inuend" .  
I don't listen it yet, so I can't tell you what it looks like.
The Cross had a gig in London in Xmas with Brian.
Maybe someone here on this notesfile could go there and tell you.
I heard that Freddie was ill now and there is no chance to have 
a tour in this year.
       
Regards,
-Etsi

I don't know if this is the correct note to write this or not, but
please let me know anything about Freddie's.

I heard that Freddie passed away. 
Is that true ?
If that's true, I need to go there, 
so any information will be appreciated.

-Etsi from Tokyo.

    re -1
    
    If you're talking about Freddie Mercury, then yes. 
    
    Freddie passed away last night at his home.  He died from AIDS.

    Etsi,
    
    Where do you need to go? I understand his funeral (if that's what you
    meant) is to be a quiet affair.

RE: .22 

You can't die from AIDS.

He died from broncho-pneumonia according to ITV's Oracle this morning.

TP

    
    Thanks, Trevor, that always annoys me too!
    
    Mark

    
    Slight rat hole but that's like saying bullets don't kill you, its just
    the ruptured body organs that cause you to die.

    There will be a Private Cremation sometime this week. I wish Simon
    Bates would shut up. 

Re .26 and prev:

(a) Mr X, famous Y, died today of Z, an AIDS-related illness.
(b) Mr X, famous Y, died today of AIDS.

The latter is fundamentally correct even if wrong in detail, plus it gets
the message across more snappily. 


Rod

    
    True, but the ghouls amongst like to have all the details, and it is in
    the nature of AIDS that it just means you die of something else rather
    than of itself. 
    
    The Sun and Sport get the news across snappily, but you'd not rely on
    them for facts, would you?
    
    Mark

    The Sun and the Sport get lies across snappily. Indeed I wouldn't.

RE; 23
    

>    Where do you need to go? 

I'm thinking to attend his funeral, it is scheduled this late Thu, but
only close friends. Perhaps they will have another funeral for fans
So I'd like to go that funeral.

Unfortunately my passport was expired, have to wait for 1 week to get 
my new passport. :-( So I really hope I'll be there on time.
