Roger Taylor - tracks from his new 10" single

As this is an official release, it can't be shared here.
Still many fans do not own record players (turntables) and can't enjoy the new material in good quality.
I've digitalized the tracks from "Journey's End" 10" E.P. Anyone who's interested - please pm me.

Hello friend I want to this tracks

Den, thanks a lot!

How crackly was the vinyl? I had a go at this today, ironically, and the results were...reasonable. At least once I guessed the correct rpm! (you'd think the producer of a one off 10" would understand that either answer could be true)

I'd appreciate them. Releasing on a nearly dead format without optional dl content is pretty absurd

^ "releasing on a nearly dead format"....you do know that vinyl has made a remarkable comeback, right? I know you're not on the UK mate, but every HMV here stocks a decent collection of vinyl, and there are several 180g re-issue dealers at our record fairs. Pretty much every new release gets an LP, too. Our very own Wizard (Bob) has just released an album that will be getting an LP release! I still collect the old vinyl as well as new records. I've just upgraded my turntable!

What the sense releasing just the analog format of music digitally recorded and/or processed?
there are vinyl collectors, but also those of CDs...

I did this too on the speed! Couldn't easily see it on the label print either?

A vinyl only release isn't exactly what an already alienated Queen audience needs, but since it's an indulgent end of journey piece, not merely a track, as Roger says, vinyl might be the right choice. After all, the best Queen days were in the analog era.

This (or acquiring a new turntable) doesn't change the fact that vinyl is a dead format. CD killed the LP for the average listener, and digital processing killed the LP for the audiophile one.

Hi, I'm interested in the track as I can get them. I leave my mail: lionelguerci28@hotmail.com

Actually, the single itself wasn't released on vinyl only. It was released digitally too, as both video and audio format.... Just like much more releases these days: only digital and vinyl, no cd.

Yes I know, the digital release only contains 1 track, which leaves 3 tracks on vinyl only, and that is kinda lame indeed.

That's easily debunked. Compare CD to LP sales ratios anywhere in the civilized world in 1998 and now. CDs are going south, and vinyl is coming back.

The interest in vinyl is due to the increased fascination with the magic of old vinyl and doesn't mean it's coming back, at least not as a serious music container.
It's more like a nice reminiscence, a memorabilia or a cool way to set up an impressive audio system. "Playing a record" has at last a true meaning - a record to play with.

It was a RECORD Store Day release....the whole premise is to support niche operations - to bring us all back to the days of supporting a local trader, of wading through racks looking for something that you wouldn't know until you found it.

If it's any consolation to you all, the tracks themselves aren't exactly groundbreaking - the JE instrumental becomes almost ambient nonsense without a vocal melody, and neither of the other two mixes rival their respective orginals.

The debate here isn't about analog v digital, or about magical memories, it's about the format itself. In the past, what you said at the end there might have been true - but it's the "average listener" who's now buying vinyl. Not everyone is an audiophile. Vinyl sales have increased dramatically, and every artist under the sun is releasing (or re-releasing) on the format. People are buying them - at daft prices - and seem happy to do so, whilst turntable sales are also up. Ergo...it ain't dead.
