Queen In The Mirror

Ouch !! I was out from Queenzone for a while it seems. But this really pisses me off. Here is what I think about it.

1/ These are clearly bootlegs.

2/ If it says EMI under liense from Queen Productions,  I would say I doubt they come from Japan.
I don't think Japanese bootlegs usually use the EMI name. They have their own way of editing bootlegs, and I can't remember having seen the EMI logo on them, even on the most unusual labels. I doubt it comes from Japan.
I'd give my bet on Russia too. I guess they take a lot of risk using the EMI name, and if they assume that and don't give a fuck about it, then I think they come from a country where they feel more "protected" by the law (or absence of law, I don't know). Russia could be that country I guess.

3/ Anyway, you should clearly stay away from these bootlegs, usually publish one or two bootlegs (sometimes interesting as this one) before disappearing all the same (taking the money before leaving of course). When it's hard to consider that a bootleg label can be "serious", there are far more interesting products with other labels, such as Tarantura at the moment, or Wardour and Uxbridge some months / years ago. Though it was just about copying and pasting things from collectors (some from here, some generous tapers etc...), adding their own touch (sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad), they were not again bringing something new to the fans, or bringing some upgrade on the sound etc...
Here it is just a copy & paste operation on something onur fellow Pittrek worked on. Avoid at all costs, don't pay money for that.

Send your money to Pittrek instead.
No, don't read that last sentence. Turn your back to that and take a closer look at Pittrek's work. You'll know who deserves a "thank you".

Kind Regards,

Olivier,

These are the exact same tracks I freely donated to Queenzone for fans to share, and Pitrek remastered.

This is exactly why I (and others) do [b]not [/b]donate to the community anymore, and why collectors tend to become  "hoarders", because with all the goodwill in the world, some scumbag will eventually rip-off these free-downloads and finacially exploit genuine (but gullible) fans for their own ends.

Once bitten, twice shy, as it were.

This is a Russian bootleg designed to look like a Japanese official release.  The material is exactly what is available here for free.

Thank you all...Pittrek, John, Oliver and Sir GH...
Well..I think taht somehow I've crated more problems than anything. I thougt it was a cloudy issue, worth analyzing. Now I Think all I've got is an stomach ache for John.
I'm sorry if I removed the shit.

But honestly John, I think that if you do well and honestly, although some unscrupulous act badly, if you stop acting well, those some unscrupulous win twice.

Many thanks all great people here

        Regards...and excuse my english again

Honestly John, I'm sorry if I've got you a stomach ache, I thought it was an interesting topic to discuss here,...... but I think that if you do well and honestly, and some unscrupulous act badly, if you stop acting well, then those same unscrupulous win twice.
I think you actually enjoy a lot of people given us all that beauty in the form of music.
 Thanks and excuse if I'm not able to explain.

Yawara: Sorry; but you misunderstand.

This is neither new or a surprise. This has gone on for years, and is merely the latest episode in a long-running saga of "rip-offs", so it no longer "bothers" me - it's just par for the course.

But it is important for Queenzone readers to fully understand why collectors no longer share their collections, or why collectors are quite happy to be labled as "hoarders" - because at the end of the day, these bottom-feeding parasites have ruined it for everyone else.

I am not complaining - or carrot dangling, but simply relaying the way that it is.
As long as such people exist (in any walk of life), there will always be a mistrust of uploading the really rare and valuable, because once those tracks are "out there", they can actually work against you!

Yes, Now I understand you...
In a way, it's the same to me on my side job, many people without knowledge appears to be a professional, and the result is that devalues the profession in general...I guess it's the same in any aspect of life.
Sorry, but sometimes with a passion to listen something we like, we forget to put ourselves in the place of another, in this case in your place. I think if I were in your place, I would just like you.

Anyway, thank you very much for everything you have shared with us....only a tenth as would a lot.

For people that are unfairly maligned as hoarders, you guys sure do share a lot of hot air!
