the debate is that, in my opinion, hammer to fall shared in this topic, is not an audience version like the other tracks of the concert but is taken from the official cd...

They should have released the whole show and not just the two songs on the Red Special album.

Thanks. I always thought the Red Special album was an unofficial Japanese release?

Oh! Well, it sounds like an audience recording to me. A very good one!

ok, I disagree but... I remain on my idea!
in my opinion, in terms of audio quality, hammer to fall sounds much better than the rest of the show!
AMEN! :-)

This is my opinion: bootLuca is right because the hammer to fall recording sounds definitely not the same like the rest of the tracks. I think that it comes from the "Brian May Red Special Japanese Tour Mini Album" (who is responsible for this long and difficult name b.t.w)
Pim Derks is right, because the hammer to fall recording is not sounding like a 1:1 copy of the mini-album. I think the copy from mini album to tape took place before Pim did copy it back to his PC and shared it with us.

===============================
Oh.. ! Right, now that I've compared it to the rest of the recording... indeed you're right !
Sounds like this one track was replaced by a CD>cassette copy or something along those lines.
I just checked my old CDR copy (which I've had for about 10 years) and it's the same thing here. So it was a very long time ago that the replacement was done..
