Amazing compilation. Loving the back mixes of Breakthru and Scandal as I haven't heard those before.
Breakthru's power chords really shine and I noticed for the first time that on the first "Breakthru!" of the final chorus, the voices are actually Brian in the left channel and Roger in the right.
Scandal's mix is very interesting as it exposes a lot of the details of the keyboards (such as the quiet ticking that runs throughout the track), and I never realised that those processed guitar sounds actually pitch-bended up!

I'm glad you listened to those! :-) They are surprising to say the least. "The Invisible Man" is similar in that regard as well, it feels like a different version with that funny bass line in the foreground.

Thank you - this is just awesome!

just an idea, what about doing a compilation of some of the tracks from the convention? like affairs? becouse those two tracks from the convention really sounds very well. It will be nice to hear more tracks from the conventions in that quality

Totally missed that one, will check it out.
Also, is there any more info on the "simple mix" of One Vision? I gave it a quick go yesterday but didn't notice any difference.

Don't quote me on this, but I think I shared all 5 tracks (Barcelona, Innuendo, DTSH, Affairs and GD) from the same convention. This might be wrong though.
I chose not to share other convention recordings, particularly those with the "Property of Queen Productions" thing, if you know what I mean. There are plenty of them and can easily be found around the Internet, except for a few which remain uncirculated.

I included these notes in the PDF document regarding Volume 4:
[QUOTE]General notes:
- Most of these mixes are unbalanced. That means you should be able to hear details that you couldn’t before on the regular album versions. I don’t want to spoil much, so check your favorite songs!
- [b]“Simple mix”[/b] is an unbalanced mix that only differs in terms of volume of its different tracks. Refer to the previous note.
- [b]“Raw mix”[/b] means some new, unheard bits are available in a given version.
- [b]“Rear mix”[/b] versions are tracks sourced from 5.1 mixes, and they are very unbalanced! But the point is that you’ll get to hear some details very clearly.
[/QUOTE]
Freddie's voice can be heard more clearly in TYMD (particularly around the middle and at the very end) and OV (last minute), as in it is less buried than in the regular album versions in some parts. Bass is more prominent too.

My bad, totally missed that part of the PDF. Thanks for clarifying.

Impressive work but unfocused, you should have stick to original material, studio and live. Too many variations of the multitracks and official surround sources.
Or not enough of them. I mean beside "balanced raw mix", "raw mix with extra bits", "raw mix instrumental", "rear channel mix", there is also the equally unusual vocal channel.

Where do these surround versions come from, there is so much we can do with those songs?

You are welcome to try and make a better compilation :-)
There are "Freddie Mercury a cappella" collections floating around (fan site "Queen Poland" made one a few years ago), those have been done before. I tried to make something different and hopefully fresh, or at least compile something out of very sparse material (it's easy enough to make them, but I haven't seen them properly packaged, so to speak).
Also, there's only so much you can do with the multitracks. I mean, you can literally create a thousand different versions with the available ones, but is there a point to remove other elements? Would you enjoy "Bicycle Race" without bells? "Radio Ga Ga" without the sequencer parts? I tried those and more, and they didn't feel quite right to listen to. I'm sure there are other interesting combinations (C_Matt and others have done more interesting mixes, but it is their work and I shouldn't just repackage it all). Not to mention remixes with new sounds and whatnot.
Be warned though, it takes very long to make something like this when you're not simply doing a file dump. Again, you can give it a shot and share it for everyone here :-)

A simple google search for "queen multitracks" goes a long way, if you are interested. There are other less accessible sources around too, but it's a good starting point.
