Hi all,
I am looking for the audio content of this silver pressed in-house promo 2CD:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Queen-US-Westwood-One-2CD-w-Que-Sheet-Freddie-Mercury/120461859465
As far as I know it is a better mixing than the official one.
(Depeche Mode's Basel 1984 recording has the same issue, the WW1 mixing is far superior than the officially released tracks.)
Do you if this 2CD set was bootlegged or was ever put on torrent?
Any kind help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Sebastian.
They are transcription discs made for a radio broadcast that went out in April 1994.
You're right, Kurgan, it's a transcription disc. Is the 2 CD transcription disc you have contains the full setlist of the show?
See this thread, there is some info on there:

Ok, thanks. (Tho that very thread is about the London '75 Christmas eve concert.)
The Westwood One 2CD (96-20) mentioned on that thread also contains six tracks from Wembley 1986.
I'll check the full track listing for the 94-15 issue and will post the info on here.
I am looking for a full version. As far as I know there is a full set of London Wembley 1986 Westwood One mix, which is way better than the official mix.
Kurgan, does your 2 CD transcription disc set contain the full setlist of the show (or a more or less full one without the few tracks that were omitted from the video release as well)?
No, but here is another ebay listing for the Westwood One 94-15 discs, it shows the full track listings on the cue sheets:

Thanks Kurgan, I will keep an eye out. (Although I hoped for a cheeper retail, FLAC or alike, but oh well... :) )
At least you know what the tracks are now.
There was also some earlier Westwood One triple vinyl transcription discs produced for a broadcast in August 1986:

Thanks! (16 vs 19 tracks, have to compare them then...)
As regards the number of tracks, I think it's safe to remove D1 and D2 from the equation.
I checked both 2CD and 3LP versions and both are incomplete. They both omit In the Lap of the Gods, Who Wants to Live Forever, Impromptu (3LP seems to have a track in its place called Ready Freddie, so who knows?), Gimme Some Lovin’ and a big row of ending tracks of Big Spender, Radio Ga Ga, We Will Rock You, Friends Will Be Friends and God Save the Queen...
Moreover, the 3LP set seems to be fuller than any 2CD set, it includes Seven Seas of Rhye, Tear It Up, Impromptu (?) and Brighton Rock Solo, but it misses A Kind of Magic, which is on the 2CD set (although towards the end of the setlist, so in the wrong place).
:(
Rather than the pre-fm transcription discs, perhaps you would like the tracks from the radio broadcast itself?

I was at this concert by the way.
