One of the better remixes on those CDs it must be said.

The Hollywood issue of Queen II seperates March Of The Black Queen and Funny How Love Is at the wrong place.
Yeah track marking on every Queen CD with joined up songs is screwed up. So annoying!
Inspired by this thread I listened to all the 1991 remixes in isolation for the first time in maybe a decade (A pretty neat little playlist) but wow some of them are really really terrible. Even technically some of them are very amateurish. I had an idea in my head all this time they had some worth. I enjoyed revisiting them though and recommend it.

The only one I like is Seven Seas of Rhye. The rest are terrible.
This surprises me!
I have a real soft spot for the fairground organ version of Flash. It's over long of course but when it gets going it makes me smile.
Despite their flaws, I hope we get these all collect up at some point. I assume they are currently off-catalogue. I'm sure to a huge chuck of people they were part of the first time they heard these albums.

I bought a copy of A Kind of Magic thinking it was by Hollywood but it's an EMI Italy release with "Extra Magical Ingredients", namely:
A Kind of 'A Kind of Magic'
Friends will be Friends will be Friends
Forever

Yeah I think that was just the standard original CD release

Probably. I was still buying vinyl right up to Innuendo and starting buying CDs retrospectively in the mid-late 1990s, so I picked the Hollywood Records versions as they had bonus discs and nice booklets :)
Same. Well, with tapes. In fact I'm not even sure I had a CD player by the time Innuendo came out TBH. Although I had by that point discovered the CDs had booklets which I devoured every time I went into a record shop. I was the guy reading the booklets.
Before that the most exciting it got was when I bought Jazz on tape and the cassette body was blue instead of the usual faded yellow.
