"On the HR-Races Drowse: at 0:14mins there's a glitch or something like that. A beep...."
Now you said it, i heard it on my EMI CD, too

Greg has now told me that he's not interested in video problems at all.. only audio. And he seems especially intrigued by unique versions such as the 'I Want It All' edit. I'm pointing him towards all the stuff mentioned at the Trainspotter's Guide and Adam Unger's site and I'll mention the glitches, but if anyone knows details of rare or 'accidental' versions that haven't been previously mentioned, please do so now :)
I will look up the thread Adam started awhile back on this subject.
What amazes me is that after all this time, these versions are new to him. And I have to say he's a very nice guy, contrary to the impression one might get from reading his answers.. I think those are done more with a sense of humor than anything else :)

He wasn't really interested in it so far I think. About 1.5 year ago Luis (who isn't here @ QZ anymore) and I were talking about creating the biggest online archive of information about Queen's recordingsessions/versions, including all the edits/mixes/etc and new information about known demo's and stuff like that. We asked Greg for help, he replied a couple of times, but in the end we didn't get any new information, so the project was cancelled - we didn't want it to be 'just' a updated version of the Trainspotter's Guide...

Well perhaps he's just dipping his foot into the fan pool once again to see what we know. I'll probably end up saying the wrong thing and blow it, but for now it's exciting :)
I hear that beep too on 14 seconds on the TOSHIBA_EMI Japanese card remaster too...
FYI there is also an unlabeled slight remix of "Under Pressure" on Classic Queen...not sure if that was intentional or a mistake....
Yeah, Greg was aware of the alternate versions on 'Classic Queen'. The terrible 'Miracle' edit, the needless fade in/fade out 'One Vision' and the remix. :-P
What's funny is that if they had used the single mix of One Vision, they wouldn't have needed to edit 'The Miracle'
They did this:
One Vision (album version fades) 4:38
The Miracle (really bad edit) 4:24
total = 9:02
Original versions:
One Vision (single mix) 4:02
The Miracle 5:01
total = 9:03
Idiots! :-P
I like the Under Pressure remix though :)

My blowup doll of Roger had a hole in it and not where it was supposed to be!

DF my Jazz cd says:
BIEM/STEMRA - MADE IN HOLLAND - Digital Remasters 1994 (- The copyright...)
BIEM/STEMRA - MADE IN HOLLAND - Digital Remasters 1994 (- The copyright...)
Yeah that's a Dutch pressing. But nearly every Queen cd you buy in Europe is pressed in Holland. I bought 'Made in Holland'-cd's in Germany, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Italy, Greece, former Yugoslavia ánd in Turky! More specific: every regular EU pressing with an EMI logo on it is pressed in Uden, the Netherlands. (Where's the time: an ex of mine used to work there! *grin*... got me some nice stuff ;-)
It's so weird: I live very near the German border. I always buy my cd's in Germany because of the huge difference in price. It's weird to buy cd's in Germany and pay 15 euro's max for the exact same pressing FROM Holland which in Holland costs 23 euro's... But that's a different discussion...

The videos of "Break free" and "Invisible Man" on my GVH2-DVD stutter - i think this has been mentioned earlier somewhere else on this board.
Yeah DVD does that too, and GVHI had the same problem (and case). Ask if they can start putting the DVDs in cases that don't require the discs to be bent excessively everytime they're pulled out :) I bet that's why a lot of the DVDs don't work. I can barely get my discs out without ruining them.
