Thanks to everybody involved in this! It's AWESOME!!!!

At least the positive aspect of these not being direct from the master is that QPL can't complain that the best quality copies of these sesisons have been shared for free on the internet.
Let's face it. We are ALL going to go and buy the official release (aren't we folks...) IF it happens, so apart from the odd person who would download the official release for free anyway, it's not as is QPL are going to lose out on any revenue because we have got these. If nothing else, it has just whet our appetite even more for the official product!

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...

The versions with crowd overdubs are featured on the Rhapsody In Red boot, as welll as other boots.

Here they are in flac. Just for those who want to know how the old inferior ones sound.

We NEED some cover art!!!

A big thank you to all concerned for this one, the quality is amazing. If you put this on and walk into another room it sounds like Queen are playing in your house.

just THANKS to you both... really appreciate it !!!

Thank you ever so much to everybody involved!!!

BTW: Artwork can be found at Queenhouse.de, under "Queen live 1973". Just place the cursor over the image, and the back will appear.

Wooohoooo
thanx a lot JSS and Pittrek!!
This is fantastic!
:-)

This is simply fantastic!!!!  Thanks so much to all involved :)))))

Amazing stuff! Well worth the wait! Thank you to our generous benefactor(s) for bringing these gems to us.

 Will you be giving us any more juicy stuff soon, Pittrek?

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 [/QUOTE]

I have a copy of that session with the fake crowd noise added. It was widely available a few years ago. To say it is shit is an understatement......... the person responsible truly did piss on a picasso........
