Queen: Brian May Hand Signed Five Live CD EP
Five Live is an EP released in 1993, featuring five (in some countries, where it is considered to be a reduced-length long-playing album, six) tracks, performed by George Michael, Queen, and Lisa Stansfield. “Somebody to Love” and “These Are the Days of Our Lives” (both also available on video) were recorded at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, held on 20 April 1992, at Wembley Stadium.
This copy of Five Live has been hand signed in blue ink by Brian May on the front of the CD inlay cover and was obtained at auction from an ex DJ’s personal collection. It comes complete with a market leading and unconditional 90 day money back guarantee, worldwide shipping and a lifetime COA. The autograph has also been independently verified.
All proceeds from the sale of the EP benefited the Mercury Phoenix Trust. Sales of the record were very strong throughout Europe, where it debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and several European countries, either considered as a single, or charting on album charts as an extended play or an LP. Chart success in the U.S. was far less spectacular, but the EP still peaked at number 30 on the Billboard 200.
A shortened version of “Killer” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone”, a live medley performed by Michael at Wembley Arena, was released as a further independent single, in some territories only. The singer also shot a music video for it, although he did not personally appear (it was during the time Michael refused to exploit his outward look, which he thought would distract the audience from the music, his main concern).
