Creating this anthology has been a real treat for me, since the compilation process allowed me to fill the gaps in my archives as I didn’t own some of the tracks included here, or in their best sound quality – sometimes requiring some restoration from me. That said, it involved a lot of work, time and even money. I’ll always appreciate any fan share that involves any amount of effort to create and present new material, or old material in a new way, because now I know the dedication an even half-decent job requires. Now I’m providing actual IDtag information, which was missing originally. It also features the standalone “Volume +”, on top of revised file names and source upgrades of previously shared recordings. And since dealing with over 4 GB of data may be inconvenient, the Anthology is split in 6 separate volumes and invividual files. There's also a 192 kbit VBR MP3 version for those who don’t care about lossless formats. Some stats! (OUTDATED!)

Perfect! Cheers mate!

Thanks again for a interesting collection and your hard work

Thank you very much!!

Very nice! Thank you :)

You did a fine job mate and i wanna thank you for your hard efforts to share this with us. Since i made a sort of anthology set myself a few years ago i know it can be fun to explore and to compile over 50 years of Queen and pre-Queen material. It was a worthwile experience and i'm always interested in what other fans can come up with when it comes to compiling anthology sets. Since the band will never gonna give us one we rather do it ourselves then right?

Oops, double post.

This is impressive. Very well done! Thank you!

This is great! Thank you very much for your efforts!

Cheers,

Ogre-

Great effort! Thank you so much :)

Thanks a lot mate. Just one question, do you remaster the demos from the convention? Like "affairs"?

Just look at whether they have a " ^ " next to their title. For instance, Affairs and Grand Dame are original FLAC files.

All those tracks that have been shared as MP3, those sourced from lossy formats and those that have been restored in any way are marked with " ^ ".

Awesome! Thank you so much!
