How about an album of "Rocks Re-takes"?

You could add the Reznor mix of Tie Your Mother Down to that tracklisting as well.

OF course, that would only solve half of the problem - the other half being that the songs are not very good on the whole (though UP would beneift from a remastering in this way - I don't mean something like the 'rah' mix on GH3 with those dopey disco drum fills, just a remix of the song in its original form would be very nice).

I agree, that would be nice. Unfortunately I think they prefer that type of sound for some reason. The 2001 remaster is the same way, and "Jazz" sounds this way to me too.

For a glimpse of what it could be, there's the nice clear remix of UP on Hollywood's 'Classic Queen'. To hear the whole of 'Hot Space' remixed in that manner might be nice.

Of course I haven't heard the masters, I just think the reproduction on my copy (1994 UK remaster) is not as clear as I'd normally expect. A remix to rectify this (like UP on the classic queen compilation, as the tingler says) is all I'm after.

Man on Fire (queen version)
New Dark Ages(Queen speed rock version - like cross live version)
Mr Bad Guy - Rock version

I heard there's a Queen version of Driven By You... that would work out well for a Rocks Re-takes album.
