The
Box of Tricks Poster revelead
***
Prologue: I have modified the page originally issued here
and have inserted all the pictures.
What is it?
The
'Box Of Tricks' was a special edition box-set available by mail
order throughout Europe in 1992.
- The
following things are in it:
- A
video of 'Live at the Rainbow 1974' (PAL format only)
- A
CD (or cassette) of The 12" Collection
- A
badge (purple with the crest in gold)
- A
patch (purple with the crest in gold)
- A
t-shirt (black with Queen in gold on the left breast)
- A
book (a compilation of Greatest Pix I and Greatest Pix II)
- A
poster (the one described below, showing picture sleeves)
The
packaging is very nice. However, it may be considered slightly
expensive for what it is.
The
fan club in London did once have some left for 50 pounds. Also,
you could get the patch, t-shirt, book and poster seperately
from them.
What
are the sleeves on the poster?
