Press Release: 'A Night At The Odeon' To Be Released On November 20th

2 reproduction balloons as a selling point? Just "wow"

In the QPL office, a few months ago:

-Ok guys, people were actually pleased with the "Rainbow" releases, I think we missed our shot. Let's make sure that the next fan-oriented release is crap. What could we do to make sure that fans will complain about the next one?
- Let's release something every hardcore fan already have!
- Not bad, other ideas?
- We could put on the ugliest cover we can think of?
- Great idea!
- We could include some unreleased songs from the soundcheck?
- That could possibly be well received, think again.
- Oh... hmm, maybe we could release ONE song from the soundcheck on a 12" single, only available in a super duper deluxe expensive box set?
- Yes, yes..., interesting. But what would justify the price of the box set?
- Well... we could include BOTH the DVD and Blu-Ray
- Already did that with "Rainbow".
- ... and reproductions of memorabilia like concert tickets, buttons...
- Already did that with "Rainbow" too. Keep going.
- ... and... and... reproduction of ...errrmh ...balloons?
- Balloons! That's great!

And now we have "A Night At The Odeon".

LOL. It's going to be the worst Queen Productions production. Look at this contrast level. It burried it. Like Caracas 1981 or some Hyde Park 1976 versions. But hey, this is OFFICIAL RELEASE! "First ever recorded Bohemian Rhapsody"? Whatever. They call it "restored and remastered". What?! I can do the same in VirtualDub and Audacity in 5 minutes. 3 of them would be loading the files. "Remixed"? The audio mix sounds the same to me. It's just LITTLE ECHO FILTER. What about the bonus video? What could it be? Another piece of 5/1/75, pieces of ITLOTG, Son And Daughter and other? Nope. "Let's put the same thing they have since Days of Our Lives release". The only surprising thing is Look Back at the Odeon, whatever it is.

"You've taken all my money and you want more"

Video quality is pretty disappointing, to be honest. It sounds nice, though. The CD version, it is.

wow, that was worth the wait, NOT!

According to Brian, Roger was the one who was sick during the show.

Those people over at QPL are bleeding me dry. Bought the Forever vinyl boxset and last week the Studio Collection. I was hoping that was it for this year so i could save up some money and now this.

Happy for hammersmith release, and just this, ugly cover and ballons hahahahahahahaha serious?

Damn, now I have to get the RP1 just for this box set. Hey, finally a reason to buy the Studio Collection aswell then... lol no, BD+CD will do :/

Edit: BD only is enough, and rip it ro FLAC myself...
