QUEEN: EXPANDED COLLECTION (CMI Music)

Outstanding!!! As seagull has said this has made me rediscover these two albums, spent most of the bank holiday listening to these. Look forward to the next.Thanks.

One Year Of Love (Alternate Version)
Pain Is So Close To Pleasure (New Version)

What are these? I assume PISCTP is the extended version/single version edited in a structure similar to the single version, and the alternate version of OYOL again uses elements from the extended version from the Highlander metal DVD-set?

No, OYOL is unreleased pre-string arrangement version with small guitar solo.

Yes, I used PISCTP extended version to restore full intro and guitar outro in the single edit.

BTW, check out the TXT file inside for details.

I just heard the two albums . crystal clear sound . Congratulations and continue with this great work.????

Here's an UPDATE of "Made In Heaven":

1) Mother Love (alternate outro mix) is added to CD2
2) Artwork is reworked using better scans. I'm still in search of full size images of 'sunrise' and 'sunset' shots.
3) A Winter's Tale (Cosy Fireside mix) is bettered using different approach to restore the original squeezed dynamics from 2011 release.
4) Description TXT file is added.
5) All FLAC files now feature tags.

Thanks for your great work :)

Are you planning on releasing AKOM with the tracks split?

^ Yes, I will after I finish tweaking on some tracks and artwork.  

Wow, more tweaks to AKOM!!!

Thanks in advance for sharing them a individual tracks.

I used to own a German 12" of Pain Is So Close To Pleasure. I loved the record sleeve image, which you have kind of used in your artwork. It brings back great memories. cheers.

Here's an UPDATE of "A Kind Of Magic":

1) Updated tracks:
CD1: Gimme The Prize / Who Wants To Live Forever (Freddie's Vocal mix) / Princes Of The Universe (alternate version)
CD2: One Vision (single version) / Gimme The Prize (remix) / Pain Is So Close To Pleasure (extended version) / One Vision (instrumental) / Gimme The Prize (instrumental)
2) Artwork is reworked using better scans.
3) Description TXT file is updated.
4) All songs now presented as individual FLAC files with tags.

Thank you, I'm re-downloading the whole AKOM's archive!

Luca, it's a right decision!

I would replace the instrumental version - edit of Gimme The prize with the full version! :)

Ha! It's your choice. But I decided to leave the original instrumental remix in this collection. Maybe I will change my mind in the future. :)

Don't worry!
what are your future plans about this project? :)
