QUEEN: EXPANDED COLLECTION (CMI Music)

^
1. Actually working on this project I've found that SSOR has the most dull sound on the album. So the remix of this song is very welcome.

2. The best standalone version of TMOTBQ (and also to all other segued songs on QII) was made by C_Matt several years ago.
He added final kick/crash to the song. I really recommend to listen to his 'Queen II' Revision.

'Ogre Battle' and 'The March Of The Black Queen' so-called standalone versions surprisingly were made by JSS/JJM for 'Deep Cuts' Vol.1 in 2011. Unfortunately they didn't bother to remix both songs but simply spliced old album versions with newly mixed 'clean' snippets. As there's no kick/crash in TMOTBQ/FHLI crossfade (it was most probably edited out), they decided to leave it as is.

3. Inner white background is the part of original LP design, so there were no questions for me...

Thank you! This is great to hear this again in such fine quality.

60 downloads = 4 comments... :(

We are focused on listening... ;-)))

I haven't downloaded yet but I thank you in advance!

Hi! Thank you very much for uploading this album! I have a question (no pun intended): why you uploaded the album tracks in 16/44.1, while you had them in 24/96? It would be great if you offered both qualities.

Besides that, great work. Given the absence of C_Matt, did you ever considered using any of his remasters in this collections, if any sounded better than the original? Greetings.

I'm not sure it was Matt_C .. I think someone just said 'oh here's one I made' in the original Deep Cuts 1 thread.

Correct about SSOR. It's weird how flat it sounds on some versions.

Thanks CMI! Great as always!

amazing! as ever, thx for sharing your great work.

Thanks for your hard work! Next album??? XD

The standard resolution for the whole project is Red Book 16/44 resolution. 'Cause first of all these editions made for CDR burning.

I don't want to use Matt's work without permission. One track made by him I used is 'New York, New York' on AKOM. It was mixed exclusively for my project by my request. This version is different to the one on his AKOM Revision.

thanks a lot for your work. Is a reference for me. Which one will be the next? I'm very corious to see Innuendo

Thanks again, keep them coming! ;-)

Wait, is it me or some songs sound like pitched down? I'm referring to songs like "hijack my heart", "another one bites the dust" (no synth) etc.

Thank you cmi! :)
