The remaster vocal track of the song, there sounds like, to me, a lack of dynamic range that comes from digitally compressing the sound into the appropriate key.
============
You make many fair points, but this one does not compute with me. Compression and singing in the right key (or correcting it) are two completely different things.
As for audience recordings, even in really bad quality, you can still hear what notes are being sung by the singer. As long as audience members are quiet, the music is heard exactly as it was played, as long as the tape is in good shape. The pitch of the singer won't change (at least, relative to the rest of the music on the tape).
I compared the two recordings side by side, and I can assure you, the vocal is untouched on the official release... except for standard things like fixing levels (automation) or adding a bit of compression.

Sir GH is spot on. They are two separate things. I'm the autotune hearing king apparently as I also said buble was shite cause that record had so much autotune on it, it really turned me off. That's why I make a policy of only using it as a last resort, i.e. can't get the singer back to record, live singer never comfortable in studio setting, performance great but one small part isn't in tune, etc. etc.
Question for all those downloading these tracks. Who here is actually going to buy them? Personally, once the deluxe CDs are cheap enough, I will be partaking in most if not all of them. I'm really liking the samples I've heard.
Adam.
P.s. still not listened on studio speakers.

I don't think that they will have used auto-tune on YTMBA. However, it does sound like there's a bit on the first "Oh Lord" in See What A Fool I've Been (BBC Session 2011 Mix). Can anyone else hear it?

I'm a buyer. John Deacon has six children to maintain. He needs my money.

Just received the CD´s from FEDEX and listened to this two tracks. Great upgrade. Maybe the can release a full show in the future. The sound it´s so Good. Can´t understand the point to release stripped down mixes without vocals or percussion. It´s obvious that 5.1 future releases (Bluray, DVDA or SACD like medium) will alllow you to do this stuff at home. Anyway... happy with the new arrival.
