Err... already found something I missed. The list doesn't include the You Don't Fool Me Mixes.
Adam Baboolal · Member since
Nice dude. Keep going. Are you compiling a site where audio clips can be listened to?
Peace,
Adam.
Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) · Member since
I will put MP3's on my website when I get some webspace. I'm currently working on completing my site and including some audio clips. For example, I'll have a clip of how the 2 different edit versions of Funny How Love Is starts out.

Just wanted to thank you for your site. Nice to see someone doing an updated version :)
This special single version edit of 'Break Free' is intriguing. When you fade the single mix to that point it doesn't make for a very nice ending, but radio edits are often not very nice.
I do one myself which comes to 3:46.. I simply re-create the album version's having the final verse start at the end of the electro-fart solo, with a slight crossfade. It works well.
I'd like to point out something too.. I often hear the extended mix referred to as if it's extended from the single. In fact, the extended mix came first and the single is an edited version of it. This is obvious particularly by when the vocal starts, you can hear a bit of the wrong keyboard sustain since they did a straight edit rather than using a clean vocal track or an overlap. My versions sound much better, as I put a little reverb on the sustain so that it continues under the vocal and hides the original one.
The single mix comes from 3 edits and a fade out of the extended mix.

Indeed - nice to see a new version of this.
Actually - I was planning a similar project over a year ago with Luis. We even got in contact with Greg Brooks, who said he would give our addresses to die-hard collector's who've got tons of unreleased stuff - so that we could make a complete as possible guide to the Queen recording sessions.
Unfortunately none of the collector's ever replied - even though Greg was involved a bit. Then Luis quit the Queen scene and I simply didn't have time for all the designing & scripting :-(
Good luck with the site :)

Pim,
I saw that you collect GNR bootlegs too. I have a soundboard recording of their concert in Pittsburgh, PA (which I was at) if you're interested. It's MP3 sourced however.
Whisperer · Member since
I think we should ask John Deacon, I mean John S Stuart for a complete list.
Pim Derks · Member since
At the moment not Adam - I'm really busy with school and stuff. I already promised Darren to copy Rock In Rio 3 for him about two months ago and just today I found time to edit the silence parts etc. out (stupid mp3 - normally I hate MP3 generation bootlegs - but I can't be bothered to start trading GNR boots - I just download them :))

Let me know if you want an MP3 for the US Edit of Radio Ga-Ga...I made one from my vinyl and it's floating around on the hub.
Also I'm not sure if you're interested, but I think the Vanguard video of "Flash" uses an edited version of one of their other mixes.
Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) · Member since
Pim - No need to trade, I'd be happy to send you the MP3's if you're interested.
And I don't need the US edit of Ga Ga. I got a vinyl rip of it some time ago and remastered it. Actually I think I've shared it for quite some time in the hub now. Thanks though.
The only edits I need now are the ones that I have listed in that first post. I think the Bo Rhap one will be the hardest to find. It's also easily mistaken for a fake BoRhap edit that's readily available on pretty much any file sharing program.

Whisperer - No doubt that John knows :)

"I got a vinyl rip of it some time ago and -remastered- it."
Sure you did...
Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) · Member since
Well I don't know if remastered is a good term, but i cleaned up the pops and hiss with Cool Edit (same thing Buczko does with his MP3s from vinyl).
Adam Baboolal · Member since
Something I've tried to make clear on this forum before - Re/mastering is more than what most think it is. The term 'to master/remaster' should be reserved for proper usage.
Maybe, I sound harsh. But it's something I do and I don't like the term to be thrown around. You cleaned your vinyl sound up. That's more to do with personal taste. It's cool, though. :)
