ANNOUNCE: Young Nobles Of Rock - May 1st 1975 (stark remaster)

Right, so I should've thought about the title of the sample I uploaded a bit more..


Quuen - Young Nobles Of Rock. Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan. May 1st 1975.

Lineage: Silvers> ? >FLAC level 8 > WAV > Har-Bal > Wavelab > WAV > FLAC level 8

Please correct the lineage if I've got it wrong.


**As always, I have restored/remastered this FOR MY OWN USE. I hope the community sees it as enough of an upgrade to want it, but if you don't like it, please don't download it.

Firstly, this recording has been crushed by excessive compression (sometime since the introduction of digital limiters, so an uncompressed master SHOULD exist), and it's all but impossible to undo. However, by correcting the equalisation I have minimised the effect and increased the peak-to-average ratio (dynamic range) by about 4dB. As the original has a ratio of about 9dB (!), this represents a significant difference. Please note that if you are comparing this version with the original, it will sound quieter.

The bulk of the equalisation was done with Har-Bal. I then applied high- and low-pass filters with a Waves Renaissance 2-band eq and brought it back up to level (-0.2dB) with a Waves L3 limiter in Wavelab. I have re-tracked the songs, corrected the balance between left and right channels and applied new fades.

The rock n roll medley, as requested, has been combined into one track, as has Son and Daughter.

Very few eq boosts were used (boosts, like mp3s, are bad), and...NO DENOISERS!! **

Please don't forget to visit the original uploader's site to say thanks.

Amazing... this is one of the greatest posts in the history of Queenzone. It's the first complete recording of an early Queen show in truly excellent quality.

I'd just replace the question mark with WAV, as that's the only way to create FLAC that I'm aware of!

awesome..can't wait to hear this! Thanks so much for all your effort,you did a great job!

Fantastic! Thank you VERY much!

Thanks, can't wait to hear this.

Thanks so much for sharing. It's really cool that people like yourself take the time to remaster shows and share them. Any chance of this being uploaded on mediafire for those of us that are firewalled against torrent downloads? Thanks again.

Done at last! Time to listen now.. !!
