Description
Queen beautiful twopage autograph book spread on adjoining pages of signatures of Freddie Mercury, John
Deacon, Brian May and Roger Taylor, who added very visually appealing Queen in block letters. Comes with a P
olaroid of John Deacon with the person who
obtained Queen’s autographs!
The signatures were obtained on March 27th 1975 at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in
California, where the band were staying for three days and were gearing up for a very important concerts for them
at the
Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on March 29th during their Sheer Heart Attack Tour, their first headline tour of America.
Here’s an except from a review of Queen’s dazzling breakout Santa Monica concert:
"Looking at this concert in comparison to others I’d seen in the States brought home to me just how good Queen really are live. Even on nights when they don’t think they’re playing well they manage to rouse the audience and they always do a good show. On
this particular night they had their problems too, but they overcame them to give an exciting performance musically and visually.
No wonder that both audiences (early and late show) demanded an encore and got it. When Freddie came back to do Big Spender
there was a roar of approval - not a little of which was for the very fetching silk shorts he was sporting. Somehow they made his cavortions more aggressive than ever and the audience just couldn’t get enough.
Eventually it was over. Freddie was left almost speechless and the others were exhausted.
But they went back to their hotel secure in their knowledge that LA had fallen to them too - and the next time they would play the might Forum where they
’
d seen Led Zeppelin earlier in the week."
Comes with a letter of provenance (see image) from the person who obtained these Queen signatures which reads:
My family and I were on holiday in Beverley Hills staying at the Hilton hotel. On Thursday 27 March 1975 whilst at the pool area I noticed the band Queen. I have a feeling it was just as they had released their second album and touring the USA. Not yet the superstars they turned out to be. I was a huge fan and as you see from the photo I supplied, of myself and John Deacon, put on my Queen T shirt as soon as I saw them. They each signed the autograph book and Roger Taylor did the QUEEN symbol/art above his name. I then had my photo taken with the now reclusive John Deacon by the pool. It was a short but sweet encounter. The other signatures in the book of then famous movie stars were from the same trip. I was 15 years old.

The first time I saw Queen in concert was on their first American tour when they were the opening act on Mott The Hoople’s six night run on
Broadway at the Uris Theatre here in New York City in 1974. it was easy to see that it wouldn’t be long for them to achieve superstardom.
This is a new acquisition and I am in the process of getting
a certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA for it, which will take about 3 to 4 weeks to get.
