Do the studio albums really need remastering?

Have they not already been remasted before and also sent out in various guises?

It's all about the money.

Jazz and Innuendo sound TERRIBLE. Jazz has very serious problems with the drum sound, Innuendo misses bass.

A complete remaster / remix could help it a lot

So we can have this conversation about the B Sides.

"There seems to be a lot less 'compression' and the mid-range frequency, I'd say around 1.6K, has been brought up to give Chinese Torture a magical sound.  It sounds like a whole new song."

The following reasons:

1. Money
2. Loudness war
3. Money
4. Removal of unwanted noises
5. Money
6. New technology
7. Money
8. Money
9. Last but not least: money

I'll second both of those

I must get my ears checked.

another vote for remastering/remixing those two albums.  Both are great albums for me, but the production isn't so great.  other albums could Benefit are the first album and Queen2.

Get the Japanese CDs from the eighties. They sound really good. Including Jazz.

We'll second the comments regarding 'Jazz' and 'Innuendo'.

And add a third.....how about 'Live Killers'?  And, as a bonus, include 'FBG', 'It's Late', 'IYCB'em', and 'STL'.    Moving on, we bought the EMI disks as imports when they first came out, got screwed on the HR 'remastering' and errors, and have not purchased any of the so called 'enhancements' since then.  And refuse to be gullible this time around as well......unless.......there's something worthwhile added.

Hell....I'd buy 'Flash' remastered if it had 'The Hero' trailer version, a stand alone 'Wedding March' , some unavailable live tracks, and, .....all the movie dialogue removed.

idk, i cant think of any, i love all queen songs no matter what :L

I agree with all the comments posted on this board.
I feel lot of the Queen albums lack ambience, and could use some serious remixing to bring the instrumentation to the party.

Oh just get the fuck out of here.

I think they'd make a hell of a lot more money if they released more live performances.

I'd love a first-rate remaster of Hot Space...AND Live Killers(my favorite live album by far).

Innuendo and Jazz, too, of course.
