Does anyone know why every single song on this release runs about 1% too slow? The only ones I see documented on most fan sites are I Want To Break Free and Hammer To Fall (the 2011 Works remaster has the "correct" version but QueenVault thinks it's a mispress), but everything on there is incorrectly mastered.
This could easily be fixed by speeding them up by 1% in Audacity (pitch included), but has anyone noticed any pitch gliches in CMI's "remaster" series?

Yes
Only 'The Works' songs. Not all.
Never noticed this issue and i have the CD for 27 years now.
Hammer To Fall, No One But You, Another One Bites The Dust (there may be more) all had their speed (and therefore pitch) altered at the mixing stage, so they're not A440...

Ditto.
By the way, the "Bohemian Rhapsody" version from this album is as good as the original!
Double ditto Dave 76 and kurgan!
The instrumental version of Seven Seas Of Rhye from the 2011 remaster plays at the same speed as the Rock Band rip, both are slightly faster than the album version (2011 release)
SSOR album version mastered slower than recorded.
