Just listened to your expanded version of "a day at the race", never had a better version! You did an excellent job, thank you so much. Looking forward to listen to your version the Jazz album :-)

Looking forward to hearing ADATR - probably my favourite Queen album. :)

Bit late on the uptake here, but these are great. The alternate MIH outros (Mother Love/IWBTLY) are vastly superior to what's gone before. Nice to have all the various edits/instrumentals in one place, too.
Thanks you, CMI.

I know that a lot of people don't like the mish-mash at the end of 'More Of That Jazz' track.
What's the best to do with the track for expanded 'Jazz' album edition?
Remove it in the album track or add 'clean' version as a bonus? I'm in dilemma with it...[/QUOTE]
The album itself should be musically exactly what it was in 1978.
What you did with I Was Born To Love You is cool, but I think that should be for disc 2. Call me a purist, but when you start changing the actual album it's getting dangerously close to George Lucas territory .. ! I'm of the opinion that albums shouldn't be touched, and on bonus tracks it's an open canvas.
Besides this - MIH is wonderful ! Great job on the track listing and the mastering. The extra bits of guitar (about a minute of it) and Roger vocal in the last You Don't Fool Me were a complete surprise to me !
And I'm prerty sure there's another bit of Roger vocal out there in another one of those remixes.

Can you elaborate on this 2012 'Royal Orb' USB Gift Box ? What else was on there?

The 2005 Japanese release would be a much better bet - it's far less brickwalled.
Otherwise - excellent job on ADATR !

I think this comes from the Montreux exhibition, where they have the isolated tracks.
You're welcome :-)

You're seriously missing out - there's some incredible live and studio stuff.
Start with the Boston 76 concert (the torrent on page 3 should work):
It's better than 90% of what QPL have released since 1995.

Both 2011 and 2005 versions were analyzed and 2011 defined to be a better one for dynamic restoration work. Also it features more natural ending in comparison with standalone version from TT 2005 promo CDS.
BTW, Jewels II version is not clean version (with ADATR album 'outro').

No, my version as well as your mp3 version was created using manipulation with album version and instrumental version from the eYe.
Of course they are not the vocal stems from Montreux, they are not so clean/isolated as you can hear.

But how?
The top one is 2011, and it's clearly more brickwalled (see attached).
But yours appears more like 2005 - are you sure you don't have them reversed in your collection?
Or did you use har-bal or something to lighten the effects of the compression?

True, but of course that's easily fixed :-)
