Since there was no Queen concert in 1983, I planned for my Best Of The Best 1983 thread to share this recording, however I found out that my copy is lossy.
I will probably share it anyway, but I would REALLY prefer to have a REALLY lossless version. Can anybody help me with it ?

That's probably my fault, having encoded a tape years ago (hopefully pre-flac bieng widely known).
I'm willing to have another go at some stage, but it will be a little while.

OK, but you do know how slow my promises are, don't you?
I'll wait for that too, no matter how slow it is !
By the way, dear Pittrek, why not considering a Best Of The Best Solo Series ?? One thread with one or two shows from each tour for example ? We don't have that much solo here !

I actually don't know how to continue.
Possibility 1 - I will skip 1983, and do only 1984, 1985 and 1986 and then stop
Possibility 2 - I will do ALL years, and the years when Queen had no concert will be filled with radio interviews / solo performances / QPR and it will stop with the year 2008

Hi Pittrek,
I think you might create a Best Of The Best for each year until 1986 (skipping 1983), then maybe one for 2005 and one for 2006 (all isn't out yet, but I think there is enough material to start your series).
After that (according the energy you still have and the support you get !), one Best Of The Best Brian May, or maybe one for each tour he made according to the material available, and one Best Of The Best Roger Tayor and one Best Of The Best The Cross. Specialists could add their contribution too, it could be great.
I think this would be enough work, and that would be really interesting, especially the solo efforts, that would spread a little hat is shared on Queenzone and I think about the newbies here, really interesting to discover the artists as a whole (Queen, QPR) and independantly from each other (Brian, Roger, The Cross).
If you create Best Of The Best series with only interviews for some years, it would be losing interest as it is not really part of "Best Of The Best" idea until now. Keep the good work as it is !
Maybe after that Best Of The Best, someone could be interesting to have an interview Series, with interviews for each tour / album and then between 1986/1991 and before the QPR thing. Why not a Best Of The Best pics too ?
Well, just a thought !

I have this on tape (as sold by capital radio) and would be only too pleased to post a copy but I have no idea how to get it from tape to an acceptable format. If someone could provide an idiot proof guide I would gladly do this.
As I see UK in your profile, english shouldn't be a problem;)
here is something which can help you:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/tutorial_basics_1.html

That's actually fantastic news. Did you read the link daffy gave you ? Do you need some more practical information ?

I have read it and I will attempt the transfer either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Fantastic news!!!
Fantastic news!!!
Just to keep you posted. I located the tape and attempted to transfer to the PC this morning. However, I'm having some technology issues - it keeps coming out in mono but I'm pretty sure I just need a different lead.
I would appreciate a little more help though. After doing a small trial run I got audio in wav format but I realised that I don't know what to do after that! Do I need to split the audio into tracks (as opposed to having side 1 and side 2 tracks only)? Should I perform noise reduction? How do I convert tracks to FLAC? Where/how do I upload the finished product?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
