This piece is accompanied by a letter from the original recipient that reads: "I went with a friend to the Queen concert at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park (no longer there) we were there very early on the day of the concert (Sunday 31st March 1974). I noticed a Winnebago RV parked up by the stage door, with a small Queen flyer in the back window, I had the album cover with me in a bag, just in case we had a chance to get close to the band inside the venue, but, I decided to knock on the door of the RV, Brian May opened the door, he asked if he could help, and l asked if there was any chance of me getting the album signed, he said sure, invited me and my friend into the van, and the rest of the band were there, we met them all, spent some time with them and they signed the album for me. The best thing was that Brian offered me a beer (Tuborg Export) not widely available at the time."
