Queen – Jazz 1978, UK Press, YAX 5550-1U / 5551-1U, STERLING, RTB-1, Naked Bicycle Poster

Description

Jazz (1978) captures Queen in full creative overdrive — flamboyant, fearless, and full of swagger, from the stomping “Fat Bottomed Girls” to the unstoppable “Don’t Stop Me Now.”

This copy is an original UK pressing on EMI (EMA 788) with YAX 5550-1U / YAX 5551-1U matrices, STERLING machine-stamped, and RTB-1 plus faint VO / CJ etchings. Cut hot at Sterling Sound, New York — it’s got that clear, punchy tone that lifts every layer of Freddie’s vocals.

Includes the original nude bicycle race poster, mint and untouched, showing only the natural fold creases from years stored inside the sleeve — a true rarity.

Condition:

💿 Vinyl: VG+ — play-tested, crisp playback with a few light surface marks only.
💌 Sleeve: VG — light edge wear, strong spine, colours still sharp.
🧾 Extras: Mint nude bicycle poster included.
