Hi Sikke. What was the master for the video you shared on YouTube? It was surely 16mm not 35mm?
Just curious, thanks.[/QUOTE]

It is 35 mm film as it was used in the cinema it was recorded by video camera's

holy shit, QZ might be dead but this 40 year-old recording in much more alive than most of the stuff I've listened to over the past years... forget all those over-compressed remasters... thank you for sharing this here, God bless you!!

Could be a problem with the transfer.
A floor of -170db just after 22kHz suggests a digital filter. It's exactly the kind of spectrum you obtain if you upsample an audio CD.
The noise floor of a 7.5ips tape is much higher and is not present here. I can see no analog behaviour. All is digital.

Or - the reel itself may not actually be from 1975. It wouldn't be the first time someone has auctioned off a nicely packaged reel tape that was actually dubbed from a digital source last year.
Either way, good detective work. If the resulting file from the transfer is 32/96, there's no way the digital filter was introduced in the transfer itself. The guy doing the transfer was just doing his job, and wouldn't unnecessarily tamper with it digitally.
I'm not entirely convinced either way, but there are definitely some good questions that require even better answers.
Technical jargon aside - this recording sounds great and demonstrates what a f&cking amazing band Queen were in 1974.

They were really a great live band in the seventies, and after spending the afternoon listening to the Hammersmith 1975 Christmas show I think that concert deserves an official release, as the ones at Rainbow. Hope we finally get in our hands these concerts during this year. In the meantime, thanks to the uploader of this gem. I also hope Queen Productions takes note of the success this kind of recordings have and open their archive sometime to edit a box like we have been expecting all these years.

Hi there, first of all I want to say thank you very mucho to 'Ghostwithasmile is BACK!' who gave us sucha a wonderful present for all queenzoners around the world. Secondly I'd like if there are any generous soul out there who could make a proper transfer of this magic gig splitted into tracks on FLAC format, that would be impressive!
By the way I want to thank the community for growing in members everyday and the more you give the more you'll get, remember that! Cheers!

I don't agree. It's the same with most bands.

Bingo.
Queen collectors are far from being the worst hoarders in the world. Furthermore, most (if not all) things Queen collectors hoard aren't of general interest to music fans. An audience tape of Yamaguchi 79 taped from the nosebleeds? Yeah, sure. Someone's sitting on a board tape of the last Doors concert with Jim Morrison. What in Queen folklore can possibly compare with that?
And we still don't know how many soundboard tapes were stolen from Jimmy Page's house in the 80s. As of last year they're still coming out on bootlegs. Hoarding at its finest, and dollar amounts that no Queen collector can even fathom.
Reality check - one Queen tape has set the collecting world afire. Boston 76, taped by Dan Lampinski. This killer live recording of the band coming off their creative peak came out in 2009, and it converted a ton of people apathetic of the big hits to appreciating vintage Queen. The Bohemian Rhapsody multi-track is worth mentioning too, as it caused a bit of a ripple. But it was nothing compared to the Led Zeppelin II multi-tracks.
The 8 track masters of those four 1969 songs, on the other hand, were hoarded for years. I can't possibly count the number of people who have heard those and would've killed to hear them when news of their existence hit the press. And when they came out, forums were alit for months. People were dissecting every last detail from where Jimmy Page's hand was on the guitar neck to what kind of microphone was being used and where exactly it was placed. An alternate vocal take of "loooooooove" from Whole Lotta Love, for crying out loud. The mystique of early Zeppelin was exposed. The hammer of the gods was reduced to a thimble. It was like learning how the pyramids were built.
Most Queen collectors are bush league in comparison to Zeppelin, Stones, Doors, Floyd, Zappa and Gabriel era Genesis collectors. Queen aren't even on the map. And no amount of occasional self-aggrandizing will change that any time soon.
That said - when the Rainbow 74 box set comes out, there sure is going to be a lot of talk about Queen. After years and years of 80s DVD releases, rock music connoisseurs will finally notice that early Queen is something worth talking about. And before that happens, someone needs to separate the tracks of the 32/96 version of this share and seed it on Dimeadozen.org. People will go nuts over there. Countless people heard the Sheetkeeckers bootleg in the 70s and this blows it away.

A 35mm scanner is an incredibly expensive thing. I "almost" bought one two years ago, but its price including shipping (from Korea !) was equivalent to a price of a small old house here :-) I'm still planning to get the 8mm and 16mm "transfer units"

I say thank you to both (Sikke and Ghostwithasmile is BACK! [I know they're the same]) because Sikke has spent the money, and GWAS is BACK! put the recordings in QueenZone.
