It's kinda flat, maybe it was the trend at the time or maybe the band felt that this is the sound they want for the whole album but everything (instruments) sound like they don't have the room to resonate good enough.[/QUOTE]
^ this.
And the drum sound is awful. Compare it to the previous few albums.
Jazz is the first album where Queen are out in the weeds. Their finances have been sorted out, and they are no longer hungry. It's an all too common story in the music business. The best music usually comes when your back is up against the wall, not when you're comfortable.

And the news from Convention is "No".

Not surprising :)

I read that title about 3 times before I realised it wasn't a new press release.
For what it's worth, Jazz is one of my absolute favs. No issues with it here apart from maybe 2 songs too long.

it would be like
CD1:
2011 remastered version
CD2:
Instrumentals/backing tracks (what's the difference?)
CD3:
Songs from Jazz but Montreal 1981, Milton Keynes Bowl 1982, Wembley 1986 (ANYTHING that was previously released)
Price: as high as possible

Jazz was one of the better 2011 reissues. A good mix of a single edit, instrumental, live track, and 'raw' takes. Not forgetting the bass drum fix on Jealously. It felt a more 'complete' package to me.

Would have been better if it had had Fun It with Roger's vocals all the way through and the alternate lyric version of If You Can't Beat Them.
Guess they're holding those back for a future release that will only be available to fans who haven't been born yet....

Well, yeah, but then you could say all the 2011 reissues were a bit short on content.

It was cheeky having a second disc since they'd have all so easily fit on one cd. Bit of an insult really.

Totes. But made sense in a way - album plus bonus.
Also meant no remastering once they issued the albums with no bonuses.

There used to be a cool Jazz t-shirt in about 2008 that featured heavily in Primeval on UK TV. I think it was a TopShop one? Haven't been able to find it since. The design was too big and spilled over the edges. Looked great.

The coin would be more attractive with an ancient roman text:
