Thank you John (and Pittrek) for sharing this. Just listened to it and it completely blew me away. Such a great quality, you can feel the energy of the band as if you're there with them in the studio, or better, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John were actually in MY ROOM. The crystal clear sound of this recording is amazing as if it's played live at this very moment.
Let's treasure this, folks.

Pittrek and John,
many, many thanks for making this available to us. If I ever forget why a became a Queenfan in the first place, stuff like this makes it very clear. Fantastic!

Your observation could well be correct, but there has been no audio tweaking or noise reduction. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say "1st Generation Mini-Disc digital copy", rather than direct from "Master Tape". If the actual "Master" sounds marginally better, it will be made "officially" available to those who need it.
Again, I accept no responsibility for the public disemination of this material!

To all concerned, thank you for bringing this material to life in all it's glory. It takes me back some 30 years (or so) when I played some hashed up version on an LP with fake audience and clapping, but nonetheless blitzed by the energy of it all. Does anyone else just love the way Roger belts out the top harmonies on We will rock you?
Should time and your continued generosity permit, I look forward to any other jewels that you may care to offer. Hangman anyone?
Again, hugely grateful

First of all: THANKS A MILLION JSS AND PITTREK,
This is a great share! really great.
Technically master > minidisc > cd means downgrading quality. The ultimate release would be a master > cd transfer.
Having said that, I'm not asking for such a release since I'm well aware of your generosity with this share. This is more than we all could have wished for.
So again JSS. Thanks a million. This is just great!

Again, hugely grateful --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I actually find this quite interesting. In my 24 years of collecting Queen, I have NEVER heard (nor come across) these sessions with the crowd dubbed on! Perhaps it's because the ones I bought on vinyl back in the late 80's (with Session 2), are clean, reasonably good sounding versions and I've not really gone out of my way to look for upgrades...
