Magic.
An advert for the cover band 'Magic' appeared in the
classified section detailing their UK tour. Their
Hammersmith concert was organised with the fan club and all
profits went to the Mercury Phoenix Trust.

Christmas Recordings.
This isssue include an article about Chritstamas records,
which mentions and includes valuations for 'Thank God It'S
Christmas' - 6 for thr 7" and 20 for the 12", and 'I Dream
Of Christmas' (Anita Dobson) - 7.

'Hits' on VideoCD.
We are informed that the VideoCD versions of Queen's
'Greatest Flix I & II' are poor quality picture-wise and not
as good as the VHS (video) versions in places. (Anyone
confirm this please?) You may wonder what's the benefit of
VideoCD if indeed the picture quality isn't as good a the
VHS version (if the above is true)? Well, just as any part
of an audio CD can be accessed instantly, the same is true
if VideoCD. No more spending valuable time fast forwarding
or rewinding the video tape to find your favourite bit.

Coincidently Queen's 'Greatest Hits' package was used in a
recent computer magazine (Acorn Computing - Jan 95) to
illustrate the use and quality of recent releases in the
field of CD ROMs (VideoCD release for the computer) 

Heavy Metal'
Finally for this issue of RC is a 9 page article about
'Heavy Metal' which include a few snippets about Queen.
"...Queen were more rock than metal in intent, though they
introduced an anthemic quality to hard rock which altered
the tenor of mainstream rock forever". 'Sheer Heart Attack'
is included in the '30 Classic Metal Album' section, and
'Keep Yourself Alive' and 'Bo Rhap' are include in the 'Top
50 collectable singles' chart, valued at 25 and 1000 (blue
vinyl version) respectivly.
