are there any releases of sheer heart attack, news of the world, and the miracle without the remastering errors?
wait...what?!
What remastering errors do you speak of?
HE ROCKS US STILL. Proud Supporter of the Queen Lives Compilation
The Lap Of The Gods missing measure was fixed, the intro to It's Late is fixed (though there's still a gap between WWRY and WATC)...not sure what was wrong with the Miracle. The other two were fixed over 10 years ago I think :)

sheer heart attack: one of the screams on in the lap of the gods was edited out

news of the world: the first 4 or 5 seconds of its late are edited out

the miracle: on i want it all, there is a chorus line that is edited out and there are extra vocals

this was all different on the LP, and i was wondering if there was a CD release without these errors (im pretty sure there is one for news of the world)
I prefer the UK Abbey Road remasters of SHA and NOTW! I also prefer the original Capitol CD issue of The Miracle!

Original CD release of The Miracle contains 'right' version of IWIA. The rest of HR's errors were fixed.
Fat Bottomed Girls, there's a kind of "click" after a few seconds, damn!
Mars 4 ever & QueeN rocks!

Wasnt that just on Queen Rocks, though?

Hollywood says the CD version of I Want It All on The Miracle is correct, which means the original vinyl was apparently wrong. ;)

It's Late was fixed right away. No one ever believes me that there shouldn't be that long of a gap between WWRY/WATC though so it never gets fixed ;) No vinyl I ever had had that long of a gap.

And yes FBG was only messed up on Queen Rocks (now fixed).

I've got a version of Hot Space, were I got a little gap in the song 'Back Chat', it's about 1 sec. maybe 1,5 sec. Pretty annoying :/

Actually I've got the CD of the Jazz album and the click on Fat Bottomed Girls is on there!

Eh?? I remember getting that same error on the Jazz album, just the same as Andy says. It IS NOT an isolated incident with Queen Rocks.

Peace,
Adam.
Wow I didn't know that (about Jazz)...I bought a Jazz CD a year ago though and it's been fixed now.

Never heard about the Hot Space error before.

The trainspotter's guide (can't remember the addy) tells about the IWIA problem in more detail if interested.

That it is incorrect. The I Want It All version added to the master on March 15th 1989 is the regular album version. The pre-March 15th version is the Hollywood Records master. I know as I have cassette copies of both masters from Abbey Road.
