QUEEN: EXPANDED COLLECTION (CMI Music)

Why not including? He includes all the demos from the 2011 editions on it, so I could imagine that he will put also that bonus tracks from 2017

CMI usually includes all the interesting studio stuff. This most likely includes the raw recordings, and omits the live cuts.

Personally, I love any recording ditties of Melancholy Blues.

I also feel there’s great opportunity to mix Fight from the Inside.

I very much enjoy the instrumentals that CMI includes - and this album will have some great instrumentals.

Also, there’s a few mixes on ‘the eYe’ soundtrack that are excellent.

Lastly, CMI includes great artwork. I’m hoping there’s extended artwork around the single releases and album covers.

thank you for these!

Let's hope the original "Jealousy" has been re-instated into it's correct place...

Let's hope together!

[b] QUEEN - "JAZZ" [/b] EXPANDED COLLECTION 2019 CMI Music Original album release date: November 1978 This edition compiled and remastered in 2019 (originally in 2017)

Several words to say... Before moving to the next album of this project I decided to make an upgrade of the album I presented (exactly) 2 years ago... Jazz. Unfortunately this great album didn't receive the proper official 40th anniversary treatment last year, so here's something as a compensation to us all. UPDATES: 1) Original mix of 'Jealousy' without bass drum was returned back to the album tracklist 2) 'Jealousy' with bass drum reinstated was brought to EXTRA TRACKS section. 3) Alternate intro from 'Fat Bottomed Girls' 1991 remix was returned back. 4) 'Don't Stop Me Now' (revisited) from 'Bohemian Rhapsosy' OST now included. 5) 'Fat Bottomed Girls' (instrumental) was newly mixed from stems and now doesn't feature any backing vocals. 6) 'More Of That Jazz' (instrumental edit) was extended for about 20 seconds. 7) All tracks were speed corrected. Read the info file for details. 8) All artwork was reworked to match the upgrade. It is highly recommended to download the whole thing in full.

But how can you improve such a great job already... You did it though :-D

Wow, great job again cmi! Will you do their live material in the future? (i.e. Keep Yourself Alive speeded up for a full semitone, edited songs in Live Magic etc...)

Yes, I will do all live material... But I hope that there'll be no need to work on old 'Live Killers' and 'Live Magic' mixes.
Hopefully we will get remixed and expanded 'Live Killers' this year and expanded and remixed 'Live Magic' or Knebworth '86 complete concert sometime in the future.

Wow!
THANKS CMI.
Perfect day for me to see this as I'll have chance to listen today :-)

I noticed that you've got your email address on the txt file.
I'm going to paypal you a small donation for all your hard work over the years as you DO put a lot of hard work and effort into these for us and maybe you have even had to purchase records and equipment you otherwise wouldn't have bought....?

Awesome! Thank you CMI.

2 brians wig:

First of all, thanks a lot for donation! Much appreciate it. Yes indeed, some stuff was purchased especially for inclusion in this project...

BTW, your hope comes true.. now the original 'Jealousy' mix is on the album! :)

Thank you for the updated Jazz. Always great to revisit this one with added greatness. I appreciate your hard work- I am still “jazzed” that it was pitched incorrectly....
