  1. Concerning Queen singles collection vol. 4

    my two cents in response to the original post: AG has pretty severe dynamic compression on it overall as part of the remastering. Yes, it stands up to the music of today sonically - but compared to the gentler remaste...

  2. Queen NEW Press release

    @GT... any confirmation on who is doing the remastering for these re-issues? Thought i'd read that Brian thought AG was the best their stuff had ever sounded, and perhaps someone else saying that Bob Ludwig was tapped...

  3. Guide to unreleased material.

    All Dead, All Dead, please!

  4. Guide to unreleased material.

    awesome, JamMonkey! thanks for organizing this great info and posting the links...

  5. What we know about Made In Heaven

    original thread here: http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1221484/interesting-sighting-at-peter-hince-exhibition.aspx track listing: Tear It Up Whipping Boy (early working name for I Go Crazy?") I Want To Break Free Machi...

  6. What we know about Made In Heaven

    I thought someone (Peter Freestone, maybe?) had found a cassette jacket - no tape - in a shoebox that had the alternate track listing on it. pretty sure it was on a thread here somewhere...

  7. London 11-20-74 - uncut soundboard

    Agree - one of my fave versions of Stone Cold Crazy... thanks for sharing these!!

  8. Queen Movie Title

    nothing to see here...

  9. The Best Remasters, track by track

    Agree, Rhye... despite any expert analyses, recommendations, and differentiation - the reality is that sonics are very subjective. I've heard albums (like the Queen MFSL versions, particularly ADATR) that are not mode...

  10. album reissues with Universal confirmed on the 40th Anniversary

    so much to address... but the main issues I want to comment on: Brian and Roger are not nostalgic... Brian has said he believes Bob Ludwig's HEAVILY compressed Absolute Greatest remasters to be the best sounding versi...

  13. A look at Back To The Light

    rhyeking wrote: Rush, for example, released Vapor Trails and was not satisfied with the ramped up volume and compression. And that was an original release, not a remaster. When two tracks from that album were schedule...

  14. A look at Back To The Light

  15. The Best Remasters, track by track

    alright - time to break silence and give some wav analyses of the prominent Queen remasters of the 80's album tracks. Since Crown Jewels (ably done by the great Peter Mew) stops at The Game, my sampling trifecta going...

  16. The Best Remasters, track by track

    For the sake of a quick reply, I just looked at the waveforms of (3) songs from my Platinum Collection disc 1 and their JP 2001 remaster counterparts: Bohemian Rhapsody - PLAT is 10% quieter than JP in peak volume, sh...

  17. The Best Remasters, track by track

    btw, Rhye - thanks for your compliments on my wave analyses... it's the kind of thing that would be about as fun as watching paint dry for most, but I absolutely LOVE it. Thanks to a friend supplying a couple more JP...

  19. The Best Remasters, track by track

    And as an additional sidebar to my previous updated SHA analysis to include the original vinyl, I’ve read recently that the 180-gram vinyl remasters are more compressed and digital-sounding, so if anyone is considerin...

  20. The Best Remasters, track by track

    Here’s a summary of the tracks I did waveform analyses for, among the (3) versions of Peter Mew’s remastering work. L to R, classified in order of least dynamic compression and volume boosting to most. Keep Yourself A...
