A cassette inlay booklet from the 1985 Freddie Mercury album ‘Mr Bad Guy’ autographed on the front by Freddie Mercury in felt tipped pen. Freddie has added the inscription ‘To Mick’ before his name.
As illustrated the cassette inlay measures 20.75cm x 10cm (8.1 inches x 4 inches). There is a tape stain on the reverse. The condition is very good minus.
Provenance: the autograph was obtained on 16th September 1986 at Tobacco Wharf, London whilst Queen were shooting the video for ‘Who Wants To Live Forever’. The autographs come with a letter from the original recipient that reads as follows:
‘I was working in the docks in Canning Town and Queen was doing a video for ‘Who Wants To Live Forever’. The set was amazing with I don't know how many candles there was. Suddenly I heard voices behind me only to my amazement there was all 4 of Queen. At the time we had cassettes not CDs lol. So ran back to my car and grabbed ‘Mr. Bad Guy’ and found Freddie’s caravan. Knocked on the door and asked if he could sign it for me. he shouted what's your name, at the time I said Mick as I was younger. Hence it says to Mick from Freddie Mercury.
