A rare framed limited edition blue vinyl pressing of Queen's celebrated song "Bohemian Rhapsody". This lot comes from the collection of Nordoff and Robbins and will benefit the charity.

EMI Records Ltd. commissioned 200 limited edition special pressings of the song to commemorate the label receiving the Queen's Award to Industry for Export Achievement. The singles and other souvenirs were gifted to guests who attended a dinner at Selfridge's on 26 July 1978, where the Queen's Award was presented. The first 10 pressings were framed and given to band members, their management and EMI executives.

The framed display features a 7-inch blue vinyl record with the sleeve's purple front and back covers. This example is numbered "5" out of 200. It comes mounted under acrylic in a gold-coloured frame. The bottom of the display exhibits minor signs of water damage and the purple colour has faded over time. Dimensions: 63.5 cm x 30 cm x 2 cm (25" x 11.75" x 0.75")

All hammer price proceeds from this item are being donated to Nordoff and Robbins. This lot is zero rated for VAT purposes.

Estimate: £3,000 - 6,000 †
