  1. Sheer Heart Attack - Remaster Review

    No one knows at the moment, what will be the next "big" thing. It's not certain, that Blue Ray will really become a replacement for DVD and/or CD. Last year some expert told me that "Blue Ray Audio" is the next big th...

  2. BBC Recordings

    @ pittrek I'm not good in doing lists. In terms of BBC studio recordings from the 70s I have mainly collected T.Rex, Sweet, Slade, Sparks, Bowie, plus lots of "single" tracks from bands like Roxy Music, Jethro Tull, F...

  3. BBC Recordings

    Don't be fooled by the fact, that some of those BBC versions play on bootlegs etc. with slightly different speed. You can easily sync most of the early session songs with the regular versions. Then you can easily hear...

  4. De Lane Lea demo's...'In The Beginning' vs '2011 remaster'

    The main difference is the correct speed. The Bootleg played 2% too fast, this has been corrected. The official version also has a slightly longer intro of "Keep yourself alive", which indicates, that the bootleg is n...

  5. BBC Recordings

    It seems that "See what a Fool I've been" is also one of those studio recordings turned into a so called "BBC Session". Cause from real BBC-sessions there are usually no multi-tracks existing that allow a remix.

  6. A Night at the Opera - Remaster Review

    I do not have that DCC version, so I cannot comment. But I have no doubt, that it's good. I am quite happy with the 30th anniversary remaster, I had the Hollywood version before and to me it's an improvement. But - th...

  7. Queen 2 Remaster review

    Negative Creep wrote: Queen have already transferred all their multiracks to digital and have an inhouse team for mixing. It wouldn't be that costly to do unless you bring in some hot shout mixing engineer - the fact...

  8. A Night at the Opera - Remaster Review

    smilebrian : Very disappointing that they used the 2005 for this, as to my ears, it's atrocious, way too loud, my ears almost bleed when I listen to this release. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Are you s...

  9. Queen 2 Remaster review

    It's just a question of money. Remastering an existing mix is unbelievably "in-expensive". Remastering a song is something that can be done in less than an hour by a well trained engineer. And I heard of several cases...

  10. Queen 2 Remaster review

    Basically remastering is less depending from technical implements than from the guy (usually it's a guy....) who is doing it. He decides how he wants a recording to sound like. In case of the Beatles remasters there w...

  11. A Night at the Opera - Remaster Review

    The liner notes do not give any information about the recording of this track. The only "new" information is, that for the first time they used a "computer assisted mix system" which in the end completely failed. Late...

  12. A Night at the Opera - Remaster Review

    And can you clarify is there any differences in booklet artwork between Island 2011 and EMI 2005 version? Thank you. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The pictures are the same. Although the new version shows t...

  13. A Night at the Opera - Remaster Review

    How can you better perfection ? In fact you can't ! And probably this is the reason for the big surprise with "A Night at the Opera". In this case I compared it with the 30th anniversary Edition of EMI. And: It's abso...

  14. Sheer Heart Attack - Remaster Review

    Where is Light there is usually shadow. And after the real great work on Queen 2 and to a degree also on "A Day at the Races" today I listened to "Sheer Heart Attack". I was always quite happy with the sound of this a...

  15. A Day at the Races - Remaster Review

    After the surprise of the really improved "Queen 2" I took "A Day at the Races", another album which for my ears always sounded a bit "weak" in parts. Compared to the Hollywood remaster the result is not as impressive...

  16. Queen 2 Remaster review

    I guess I haven't bought an album more often than Queen 2 - always hoping for a better sound quality. Usually I was quite disappointed. The ones I kept so far were the Hollywood version and the Japanese one from 2001...

  17. Queen 1 - Remaster Review

    I'm not 100% sure, but some harmonies on KYA (after the break) sound different to me. I don't know if it's a matter of mastering or if they used outtakes or stuff from one of the many different recordings of that one....

  18. Queen 1 - Remaster Review

    I just got the remasters and this is my first review of the album "Queen 1". I compared it with the Hollywood remaster from 1991 and put several tracks into a multitrack-system. Cause things like loudness can fool you...

  19. earthquake in japan

    Nuclear energy is one of the biggest crimes mankind has committed so far. You cannot leave waste behind, that is highly dangerous for thousands of years. Every future society or future generation should have the chanc...

  20. Roger Taylor says they are working on unreleased MJ / Mercury songs

    Quote: In an interview with a Belgian magazine Roger Tayler says “We are now working on some never-before-released songs that Freddy made with Michael in the early 80's. I’m not allowed to say too much about it but th...
