Any problems/defects with Queen products?

Greg has asked me to provide any further information about things like mastering errors/glitches/edits that shouldn't be there on Queen CDs.

So far he's aware of:

-"I Want It All" being edited by
about 10 seconds (out of the first chorus) on the Hollywood
version of 'The Miracle' CD.

-Swapped stereo channels on all of 'At The
BBC' (Hollywood version of 'At The Beeb') as well as the
b-side "Soul Brother" on the 'Heaven For Everyone'
single.

-A little glitch during the intro to "Crazy Little
Thing" on the Hollywood CD "The Game"

-The noisy glitch during the vocal intro to "Fat
Bottomed Girls" on 'Rocks'

-Aspect ratios being off for 'A Kind Of Magic' and 'Hammer To Fall' on GVH2 (one is squeezed, the other stretched)

Please let me know of anything else I should mention (other than asking when we'll get the boxed sets.. I think that would end his replies immediately.. if it feels right to ask at a certain time, trust me I will)

This is one of those things where it seems like there's a lot of problems and then you get someone to listen and it suddenly seems like there isn't much else to report.. so I'm feeling stupid and could use some input :)

I don't expect much to change, though he was quite intrigued by the "I Want It All" edit and is trying to find out how it happened, and I stressed how troublesome I thought the Fat Bottomed Girls error was since it seems to be on all editions. Anybody know if it's on the vinyl too?

In the album SHA there's a song called She Makes me.

Fat Bottomed Girls intro on Jazz.

WYBREN, which edition of Jazz is that?

I think the UK version (or maybe the Dutch one?). I'm not home so I'll have to check it later. Keep up the good work!

No problem.. I'll just have to mention a specific version because there's lots :) Could be an older UK version or a remaster from a certain year. I'm guessing 1997/98 if it's the same noise as in the 'Rocks' version.

My Invisible Man cd single plays 4 canned heat tracks.

I think I have to agree with Josuecifu on this one.;)

Has the missing "ew ew ah ah" in the vocal intro of In the Lap of the Gods been fixed yet.

and of course Hollywood does not know here one song ends and the other begins often times

That sound isn't on the vinyl version of Jazz...the first time I ever heard it was on Queen Rocks. I'm not sure if it made it to the Jazz CDs too or not (or the Greatest Hits discs).

The blank space between "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" is longer on my CD of News Of The World than it was on my vinyl/tape (or my vinyl/tape of 1981's Greatest Hits). Also the end of Live Killers lasts a few seconds longer than the old vinyl/tapes (though that was kind of a nice bonus ;)

My 'Hot Space' CD sounds has very defective sounds on almost all the songs.

Oh wait... that's the way it is on all CDs, nevermind.

Well when I pop the GVH2 dvd and turn to DTS mode it makes some popping sounds. It can be either the dvd, the player or the tv :P

The beginning of 'Lap Of The Gods' on the HR SHA CD lacks an ooo and an aaaah

Believe there's a glitch somewhere on HRs 'It's Late' as well.

For the record, yes the glitch on FBG is on the Vinyl of Queen Rocks as well.
Oh and on GH3 some bastard is rapping over AOBTD.

"Oh and on GH3 some bastard is rapping over AOBTD."

ROTFLMAO!!!! That is a HUGE problem! LOL!
