It's your pal Joey, the greatest man alive!!! Well maybe not quite, but the song just popped into my head. Hi folks, may as well show my face around here, as there's nothing happening over in QOL land to grab anyones attention...apart from guessing if this is a potato peeler or a piano key bah...blah...
The Cross hardly get's mentioned at all, so I'm glad there's a forum DEDICATED to these fine lads.

Hi there!  I'm from Italy, die-hard Queen fan since 1997, but I was able to get hold of The Cross stuff only lately...and loved it. I dedicated a corner of my own board (see sig below) to them - while what else could you expect from QOL board than what you said? LOL! |

Hi Roberta, Lucky you for managing to obtain these rare albums etc. I've loved Queen since 1979, but really got back into them after watching the boys take the world on Live Aid.

Err...to tell the truth, the only original album I have so far is "Blue rock" (vinyl)...had to copy the rest of the stuff because I couldn't resist till I found it  - I do hope to get the REAL thing soon! The problem is, I don't like buying stuff on Ebay, so I can only rely on records markets here and there to find what I'm looking for! |

E-bay can be usefull, but it's mainly dealers who cash in on the raritie value of most of what The Cross released. At the end of the day, it's only a CD/ record etc... never pay too much for a record. Not whilst there's CD recorders about! ;p

Oh yeah, you can't beat having the real official item in front of you, but these items are scarce. In fact i get more enjoyment in hearing the live concerts The Cross did, rather than their studio work.
