  1. 3rd Batch of Remasters Predictions

    My prediction is my own disappointment at the unnecessary hard limiting ruining what are otherwise reasonable sounding remasters. I can see the future....

  2. New Remasters review...

    Overall the new remasters are just OK. But that's about it so far. In the end I've only chosen 2 (possibly 3) as my 'go to versions'. Queen - EQ not significantly different from the 1st press, just louder and less dyn...

  3. News Of The World remastered 2011

    OK, so I've listened to it twice. Initial impressions. Good: - Haven't tampered drastically with the EQ on the tracks that clearly didn't need it. (eg, All Dead, All Dead). ...Although, in the end, I prefer other vers...

  6. The Hero (October 1980… Revisited)??????

    From first listen it indeed seems to be the same take. So in the end, it's just a remix. ....However, it's great! The album mix always felt a bit thin and weedy, but this simple, no nonsense, balls out remix reveals i...

  7. Jazz Remaster - Review

  8. Potentially stupid remasters question.

    I'm not sure I completely agree with you Soundfreak, that there's not a great deal of difference between the available master options. That may be true for some albums, but others the difference is stark, even on a st...

  10. Jazz Remaster - Review

    Very curious to hear the 2011 Jazz. (and NOTW for that matter) Personally I think it will be hard pressed to beat the CDP, ...which sounds as close to perfect as that recording could ever sound IMO. The Hollywood vers...

  11. SHM CDs from Japan

    Double post...

  12. SHM CDs from Japan

    That's definitely interesting, but in my experience SHM cds are hype and a victory of marketing over common sense. If you have a shitty player, then it MIGHT deliver a noticeably better sound. however if you have a qu...

  13. SHM CDs from Japan

    So this 2011 Japanese release is a different mastering? Seems unlikely given the money Queen would have sunk into the Ludwig masters everywhere else in the world. If it is different, I'd be steering well clear. Japane...

  14. Jealousy Kick Drum - Mistake on 2011 Remaster?!?

    Soundfreak wrote: I haven't heard it so far, but the answer may be found in the rules of the vinyl age. Those who have "Jazz" in vinyl form can even see in "Mustapha" that the groove needs more space during the louder...

  15. "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" video shooting date

    When Roger said in the documentary that Freddie's voice was getting thinner and he could not reach some notes, maybe it mean it took a long time to record vocal parts of "AWT" and "ML". Freddie might have taken months...

  16. Jealousy Kick Drum - Mistake on 2011 Remaster?!?

    Restored kick? So the track was remixed? If that is the case, then that's poor form. Sure have it as a bonus track, but leave the album the way it is. I would want a unequivocally plausible explanation as to why (some...

  17. Famous pic of Freddie

    Slightly off topic, but... I've always wondered if there was a specific date (or month?) when Freddie first appeared all moustached up. Presumably early to mid 1980?

  18. "Bike it" on John Deacons' t-shirt

    I'm fairly sure it was just in keeping with the whole leather/biker look the that the video (and Freddie) was going for. It is, however, a very cool Tshirt. You can get it here, by the way. http://www.printfection.com...

  19. Too Much Love Will Kill You, Brian May Version

  20. Too Much Love Will Kill You, Brian May Version

    I find it's a fine line with Brian. He can sound great, but when he's trying too hard, it frankly sounds ridiculous. He doesn't have Freddie's voice (power, technique, gift for phrasing etc...), but in the last 15+ ye...
