In-case it isn't anything to do with Mr Biscuit - could it possibly be from a collector who has these great copies? Adding a bit of audience tagged on so that it can be a collector teasing...

Btw joeyjojo, are you posting these for all to download or were you teasing?! :)

Peace,
Adam.

That's the only file I have. I'm trying to find the rest myself as well!

I'm beginning to think King Biscuit actually added the audience themselves. I think their compilation with WWRY came out in 1989 (I actually have the ad recorded from TV somewhere). A version of the live BBC WWRY with audience noise I downloaded 4-5 years ago from Napster was labeled as being from King Biscuit (unless someone intentionally mislabeled it but I don't know why they would)....

King Biscuit was known for airing live music, so if they aired the BBC sessions without an audience in the background it would have gone against their format....

Do you have a broader point you would like to make in the coversation, or do you enjoy taunting and mocking others?

Either way, you're doing a piss-poor job of it.

Wow...step back you two and take a look at what you are arguing about. There's more important issues in this world to get worked up about than this. ;o)

"As for the debate on the "audience" on WWRY...it comes from a bootleg called "No News Is Good News""

Ah! Good info! What accounts for the high(er) quality sound from those files? Just some fancy post-processing by the bootleg publisher?

I found this web page:

http://challenger.hop.ru/queen/bootleggers.shtml

Which mentions:

----------------
For John Peel's show Queen recorded versions of 'My Melancholy Blues', 'We Will Rock You', 'Spead Your Wings' and a medly of 'It's Late' and 'Get Down Make Love' from 'News of The World'. Many people think these tapes are far better than the versions on the LP which is why there are so many versions of them around.
----------------

Who is John Peel's? I assume he's a BBC persona?

Now...off to find this bootleg! ;o)

I'm glad a true fan like yourself was here to put us in our place. Queenzone truly is a better place with users like you protecting it.

Cheers, Swine.

Mad:

Instead of wasting your energy on ad hominem attacks and chest thumping, how about telling us a bit more about the bootleg in question? I'm genuinely interested in hearing more about it.

I'm really interested in finding this...either in downloadable form or physical form.

I'm still not exactly sure WHAT this bootleg is. Was this part of the main BBC sessions that people mention, or was this something unique to John Peel? Or is this simply the BBC session that John Peel added fake audience noise to?

Google doesn't seem to have a lot of info on this (from what I've found so far, at least...)

You know, up until the “pretending to be a Queen fan (along with virtually everyone else)” statement you were actually winning your argument with me. But since this appears to be a very sweeping statement that could include everybody and not just Victor, let me make this perfectly clear to you - I AM A QUEEN FAN, and have been since the very early days and have probably forgot more than you'll ever know.

You all get awfully excited at every announcement each time a concert is available to download...ie. basic concerts that the real fans have already owned for several years. None of you appear to have even heard of the "No News Is Good News" bootleg...a very well-known one.


So what if some fans don’t know about the “No News Is Good News” bootleg – its not surprising cause they are loads of bootlegs thanks to CD’r’s, the internet and dodgy traders and the like many of which have probably gone on under different names. The Xmas 1975 concert for instance was also called “Command Performance” long before the Milton Keynes one. And also, you don’t need to own any bootlegs to be a “real” fan – loads of fans like myself couldn’t afford to pay rip off prices to traders in the days before the internet.

You probably never even went to any Queen gigs. You lot just read up on it years later.


Have you ever thought that Victor, or most of the people on this board, may have just been a little too young or not even born round about Queens last concert?

Sorry, but I don’t see any relationship between having Queen’s bootlegs and being the good fan of the band. Tell me.
But now it's time to be gone - forever...

Mr. Mercury...(I think that's a rich name for someone who never met Fred)


Quite a few millions of us fans have never met him. And my real name could possibly include Mercury for all you know

...Are you the same Mr. Mercury who frequented Audiogalaxy? If so, you'll know of me under a different name, and you'll know that (unlike you) I really was there at the beginning.


So according to you, to be a Queen fan consists of meeting the individual members of the band, owning every recording bootleg or otherwise, book and every piece of merchandise AND now it also consists of having joined Audiogalaxy (and no I haven’t bothered with that site)? If not I’m sure you enlighten me
