Thank you!

The Hollywood Records 1991 20th Anniversary Remasters:
Queen: Digitally Remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood.
Queen II: Digitally Remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood.
SHA: Digitally Remastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Town House, London.
ANATO: Digitally remastered by Stephen Marcussen at Precision Mastering, Hollywood.
ADATR: Digitally remastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Town House, London.
NOTW: Digitally remastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Town House, London.
Jazz: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood.
Live Killers: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood.
The Game: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood.
Flash Gordon: Digitally remastered by Stephen Marcussen at Precision Mastering, Hollywood.
Hot Space: Digitally remastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Town House, London.
The Works: Digitally Remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood.
AKOM: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood.
The Miracle: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood.

Sheer Heart Attack early pressings have an error on In The Lap Of The Gods. This was corrected.
News Of The World early pressings have an error on It's Late. This was corrected.
The Miracle features a different mix of I Want It All that remained in print until it was replaced by the Bob Ludwig 2011 remasters.

Your best bet for finding NOTW and SHA remaster error CDs would be the original longbox releases with the old Hollywood Records logo (palm tree/earth logo). No guarantees though.

Made In Heaven and Innuendo, I would imagine, would both be mastered the same as the UK version since they were both new releases for Hollywood.

Wilki is the resident remaster expert and I'm sure will add any useful information that I may have missed.

I remember hearing about the "It's Late" error on NOTW but this is the first I've heard of an error on "In The Lap Of The Gods" on SH.

Interesting.

I spent 17 years not realizing that I'd been listening to a mastering error!

I bought SHA on CD back in 94 - i was 10 at the time and building my Queen collection. I live in Canada and bought the HR version at a second hand store.

Since then I had listen to the album hundreds of times... and only in 2011, when i got the new remaster (available in Canada.. we never had the 94 editions released here)... I thought they made a mistake in Lap of The Gods... the intro sounded a little off... and of course that's when i did some research to find out I'd been listening to an improper version for years!

I remember listening to '39 on my HR pressing and freaked out at how sloppy it was when the bass drum dropped out halfway through (1.45 or there abouts). Sure another cock up? I went back to my other versions and I'd never noticed it was part of the song.

:(

Hot Space in the UK 1994 Digital Remasteres Series had an error - there was "a silent gap" in one of the last chourus of Back Chat; Back ... Chat. I thought for many years that it was intended.

Now I can't take that out of my mind.

It sounds so weird.

The interesting in the 2011 cds, it's there have a silence in the cds, in the parts where ends the sides of the original vinyls, in the EMI 94 remasters, there haven't this silence

Serious discussion was available among all of the parts that were good to read along all forums at this that was useful to have. I was able to have some details that was at https://www.eturbonews.com/258760/5-things-that-need-to-be-your-habit-for-productive-study/ this was the site that have some of the power that was good to read among all of these parts that was useful to have at this.

Interesting. A lot of the albums i bought in the 90's on cd were the Hollywood Records versions.
I had no idea they were inferior, the album art looked slick(er) than the DMS and had bonus tracks and were cheaper, so i went with those.

DISCLAIMER: 90's kid, no internet.

Yeah they were lovely to look at after years of basically blank UK cassette inlays.

Some versions of the early Hollywood Records SHA album contain a different version of the Michael Wagener remix of Stone Cold Crazy too.
That is, some versions include laughter at the end of the song, some versions don't. Don't know how to recognize which versions is on which pressing though.

That laughter comes through one speaker. If you listen through the other speaker very loudly you can hear a bit of studio banter.
