VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO JOHN S. STUART

Thanks so much for all this but one question if I may...

Just a little confused - these are sourced from a minidisc copy that John S Stuart has, but does he actually have the 1/4" masters as well?

Either way - thank you so much!!!

ops -_-' ...yes I meant "Ogre Battle"

and just to know...do you also have the master tape with the proper intro to "Great King Rat"?

thanks

Don't you mean Ogre Battle ?

holy fudge this is nice of you! after a shortened ACDC concert here in norway, this was a nice suprise :)

Yes indeed, it was an excellent act of generosity. I am sitting here now listening to the clearest version of some of these tracks I have ever heard. It's superb.

I posted in, earlier this week, about how the time has come and gone - commercially speaking - for music like this. On *this* particular occasion, I was wrong - I would certainly pay for this.

QPL has lost nothing from these being "out there". I still would pay, as I think many others would too. I still reserve my earlier comments though - the majority of material which appears here - "the second gen copy of the soundcheck at the Pudsey Astoria before afternoon cream teas in 1831" type stuff - is best crowd-sourced, catalogued and made publicly available for free.

But I bet QPL and, I hope, Greg in particular are feeling just a little bit sick right now. And so they should.

Read it and weep, guys: this is what we REALLY want.

I'd like to add my thanks as well to John for providing these tracks to fellow Queen fans. Back in the late 80's/early 90's, John somehow came across my name and address as a fellow Queen rare audio collector and sent me - without ever having done any trading at all - a tape of some pretty rare Queen tracks to show that he had some great stuff to trade. Naturally, he was looking for more rare Queen stuff...but he went above and beyond a simple query letter and actually sent me full versions of some terrific tracks - some I already had and some I didn't - and all in excellent sound quality. So, I've only got positive things to say about Mr. Stuart, who has surely done a lot of good within the Queen fan rare audio collecting community. Thanks again, John!

Thank you John S. Stuart and Pittrek.
Who needs Christmas, when you have queenzone.

Once again the users of Queenzone prove that we don’t need Queen Productions.

Will this share inspire hoarders to STOP HOARDING !??  John has opened his heart and made a huge contribution.  Can others follow?  To start, bring out the Monterrey and Puebla 81 videos, lossless.  It's 2010, and people share nowadays.  This archaic "saving things for trades" mentality is baseless, obsolete, and selfish.  We all know that 99.9% of the stuff comes out eventually.  It's time to do the right thing and give something back for a change.

A few months back ther was already a generous offer from someone who would follow the 1981 share(s) with an uncirculated 8mm master from the 70s (an offer which nobody really responded to !!!!), and I have things that can follow as well.  This could really be the start of something great.  But all the key players need to participate to make it work.  Post here, send emails, or whatever you need to do... it's time to get the ball rolling folks.

Friend....

I totally agree!

Many Thanks John and Pittrek.

Its incredible to listen "fresh" stuff still in 2010.

:)

I agree with Bob.

Allthough I have nothing to contribute with, it should be possible to get those concerts out there. Just look at the Bruce Springsteen fans: One of them initiated a series called 'the Uber series', where people could send in previously unshared (hoarded) material to this guy, so that he could share it in the best possible quality. 

The guy was called TattooDad, and here is the first post that started it all:

''So here's my offer to start things rolling: Anyone who wants to share but doesn't want it known that they're sharing can send things to me, either anonymously or by contacting me directly. ANYTHING I RECEIVE WILL BE FREELY SHARED AS QUICKLY AS I CAN DO IT.'' TattooDad.

The list of ''ubers''  that got shared because of him is huge; Losts of soundboard material, IEM-recordings, and even 3 proshot dvds.

If someone with credability within the Queen community could try to take up a role like this, who knows what would come out of it.

Indeed, It would be nice to keep the forum alive by sharing "new" stuff here (or elsewhere, but I think Queenzoners' standards are now very good). Follow JSS's example and Share-share-share !
Many thanks to JSS and Peter for that first attempt at making things roll again, and to all the other sharers here !

Regards,

Olivier,

The music originated from Queen Productions :-)
