  1. Definitive Version of Each Album

    Nice response Typhoon! I agree with your list (although post The Game I haven't yet bothered finding the best pressings). As I still haven't found NOTW Target for under three figures I haven't yet purchased but it's n...

  2. Rolling Stone: "Queen Putting Together Own Tribute Band for 2012 Tour"

    Surely Roger will lose interest before this thing sees itself through? Can someone send over a stripper and cocaine to his house to divert his attention? Absolutely diabolically bad. If someone said, "OK, what's the m...

  3. DId Hot Space create an aversion to risk?

  4. Google to honor Freddie on his birthday

    Superb tribute, loved it! Great stuff Google. Nothing wrong with Don't Stop Me Now for a tribute ditty, poppy, fun, perfect.

  5. Remasters - just louder

    Just the slightest..... it's the lowest form of wit, I know, but it comes so naturally!

  8. The Game, 2011 Remaster

    fran1979 wrote: The mini vinyl japanese CDs 2004-2008 (Digitally remastered in 2001) releases are the best sounding CDs and the best looking album covers. Today I bought Queen II 2011 remaster, mainy for the bonus EP,...

  9. The Miracle Bonus EP revision!

    Hey GT, can you ask Brian if he thinks Ludwig's ANATO remaster is better than Hoffman's DCC? It isn't. Not even close. I doubt Brian has even heard it. Brian and Justin had no idea those piece of shit vinyl reissues f...

  10. In search of advice concerning ANATO remasters

    I cannot envisage anything ever sounding better than the DCC. I have it on vinyl and cd and it's extremely good. I haven't heard the CP32 or the MFSL, I may pick up the CP32 some day as the odd person has reported Fre...

  11. Final batch bonus EP tracklist

    So, GT, all these releases are for the casual fan then? OK, then what is planned in the great Queen "40th Anniversary" celebrations for the dedicated fan...? If EMI hadn't of collapsed and Queen been forced to move re...

  12. Re-Releases = Rip Off?

    It is a rip off when you consider ANATO being identical to the 2005 (apart from a small cleaning of bo rhap). To me, that is dishonest to all those 2005 ANATO owners. The remastering is still not definitive, bonus mat...

  13. "Jazz" remaster?

    I don't get what's annoying about Mustapha? It's always been like that. It's like that on vinyl. I love it. It isn't anything new to this remaster. It's deliberately like this. I love the way it just explodes into lif...

  14. "Jazz" remaster?

    I'm with you Typhoon Tip on Jealousy. I do find it a bit hard to swallow, especially given it's Freddie's track and he obviously can't oversee this "correction". These are remasters, not remixes, so it's a step too fa...

  15. New Remasters review...

    Nice overview JoeSilvey and TyphoonTip. I agree with your ANATO assessment, pales in comparison with the DCC. I haven't heard any 2011 remasters yet, but after hearing how much better Hoffman's ANATO is over Ludwigs I...

  16. News Of The World remastered 2011

  17. News Of The World remastered 2011

    Has anyone compared the remaster to the MFSL or the Target CD? I have the MFSL which I think sounds pretty good, but I haven't heard the Target. Vinyl murders all of them anyway, so I play that mostly now. It's Late f...

  18. Audio Set-Up

    You're right in a way Mooghead, but the problem is, you listen to an album a thousand times, love it, enjoy it, and slowly find yourself wanting it a little bit better, so you upgrade your speakers, then you expose th...

  19. Jazz Remaster - Review

    The Japanese CP32 sounds excellent to me, I'd be extremely doubtful of Ludwig doing a better job so will pass on this one.

  20. Brian and KYA 2011 vinyl

    Brian and Roger signed my copy of No One But You 7" Picture Disc for me back in 2003. They both commented to each other "how nice they ended up". It was like they hadn't ever seen the finished article. They had a quic...
