Forgive my ignorance here and maybe this post is as much for another thread as this but I'll see where this goes....If you have a Hi Definition mix of something....what exactly does that mean? I mean is it a true remix or is it basically a process that makes things cleaner, crisper, etc....I ask here because if you are going through the efforts of finding the best audio for the basic album...why wouldn't we use the hi def mix of Teo Toriatte or in this case your own hi def mix of Bicycle Race as the new "standard" album version?

Hmmm.
Personally I'd have preferred Jealousy as it's always been, ie, no bass kick....!

MAIN ASPECT: All albums feature original stereo mixes restored/fixed/remastered.
So I don't replace original mixes with newly produced remixes because of clarity or something. One exception is 'Jealousy' which is a semi-original stereo mix for known reasons.
All new remixes are added as an alternative to the original mix. 'Bicycle Race' for example now features the original piano during the a-capella intro which was omitted from the original mix.

^ Fair enough! Thanks again!

Yes there was a consideration to use true intrumental version of 'Fat Bottomed Girls' mixed from stems but the reason is the quality of available 'Guitar Hero' stems. It's 'very' lossy as I can call it. There was an attempt but I discarded it in the end.
Lossless sources must be out there somewhere.
But it may be a pretty extensive search !

Now the bass drum is quite delicate, not right behind your face... And overall listening experience of the song now is even more enjoyable.
I was thinking how the CMI logo should look more like the EMI logo - but then I got thinking further: Why not write Queenzone just like the Parlophone logo. That would be cool :)
Also, thanks for this. I find it interesting some issues having longer fade outs of tracks. I genuinely thought I was the only person who noticed this stuff.
I'm not sure I get extending the single edits either, but it's your project. Maybe add in the pure single cut too :)

It was tongue-in-cheek from me more than 10 years ago... When EMI was still around...

I add particular edit to this collection if I like it and see it useful.
I don't plan to add US single edit of 'Liar' or US promo edit of 'Headlong' for example.
BTW, 'Fat Bottomed Girls' full ending was restored on 'Greatest Video Hits' DVD in 2002 even when they didn't have any rushes to fill the video gap.
What's next mate?
Check out this thread for 'Coming Soon' card which will come soon :)
Lovely.
great job as always!
it is a joy to the ears listen to these expanded versions, you can hear a lot of details without getting tired!
not like the remasters of 2011 where the ears are destroyed after 2 minutes of listening!

BTW, if anyone wants to contribute to this series, it'll be very useful to help me with lossless or high bitrate lossy sources for 'The Miracle' and 'Innuendo' demos/rough mixes.
What I have in my vaults is not that satisfying to work with. If anyone can help, please PM me.
Did you say earlier that TMLWKI is being placed on this? As an extra track I hope and not sequenced in the album? :)
(looking forward to this one as I love the album)
