Who needs multitracks?

LOL
I know what you´re saying, but remember that their excuse to not release the DVD is that they didn´t have the multitracks. They have the perfect video, so they´re waiting for the perfect audio to appear.

I know miracles can be performed today, but can they really turn the avaiable audio into 5.1 and make it sound like it was 5.1 from the beginning?

It´s good to know, that at least, some sources are claiming that the multis were founded. This can be the best Queen performance we will ever see on DVD. Fantastic show!

For some reason I can't find the thread at this moment, but if I remember correctly, it was The Real Wizard that mentioned that they had been recovered. Let's hope he'll show up and elaborate, or you might want to PM him if you're really interested.

No they are still lost without anydoubt they are missing

Well, your official channels must be different from mine because mine say they were found years ago.

All we can do is wait and see what's released.

As a note i just want to say that if the tapes were indeed found and recovered to the Queen archives i think it´s not nice of them to not say anything to the fans.

I don´t know if this was one of the "Help find these items" made by QP to their fans. But, if they use the online channels to let fans know that these things are missing, and for the fans to keep an eye open for it in case they have a lead about the missing stuff, i think it would be nice if they could update the fans on these things, at least to let those - who are playing detective - know that they can turn their attention to other things.

Just saying...

As much as I'd like to live in a perfect world, QP (nor any holder of, well, anything really) has no obligation to tell us anything about their property. We definitely shouldn't have a sense of entitlement to information about stuff that doesn't belong to us.

They'll just say what they want to say and release what they want to release. And it's been working well so far - the Milton Keynes, Wembley and Rainbow releases of the past decade have all been great overall.

I disagree with you on this one. If they use the internet to let their fans know that somethings are missing, and ask the fans to keep an eye open and to tip them any leads that may get them to recover those items, they have an obligation to those same fans to let them know that the search has ended because they have founded the items.

I don´t feel entitled to anything, but i expect respect - not to me particulary - but for the community that they use to their advantage. As far as i know, they never updated the information about the missing tapes from the NOTW sessions, so i assume that they never recovered anything. I think it would be disrespectful to the fans if indeed they have recovered some tapes and never said a word to the same fans they asked for help in the first place.

If Brian can update and thank the fans on his soapbox for minor things such as "Where is this church?", and say that the search is over,they could and should apply the same concept when they ask for help on the bigger stuff. It´s not a question of being entitled to anything.

Common sense, no?

Aye, can't disagree with you there.

Wait... some of the NOTW sessions tapes went missing ? I thought they've only lost the tapes of originally released on cd in 1980 take of Coming Soon....

Yup. You can see the list here:

("God Save The Queen" was found since that posting. No word if anything else was found since)

Hm... this list made me sad. How would anyone steal those things.... It's a shame that Spread Your Wings got lost and at the same time it amazes me that they remastered this track really really good without going back to the original tapes.

Great version of CLTCL

Any chance someone can synch this to the best possible video source?
