Hi there,

I never had the CD but the tape. And from what I heard and read, you can presume that the bass is basically absent in all pressings and versions, because it was intended to be that way. The loss of Cliff, his influence on the band, the way they always treated Jason... Making the bass play with the rhythm guitar and then mixing it down was just the tip of the iceberg. Jason wouldn't speak up much back then, so there you have the album with a horrible sound. Only St.Anger is worse. :-)

Thanks for that; with that info, I'm sure the vinyl is as shitty as the CD, unless someone else points out any difference. It's weird though, that the band's (arguably) best album should be ruined with an unnoticable bass track. St. Anger just plain sucks throughout.

Anyway... If anyone's interested in supplying detailed information, opinions and whatnot - and some webspace as well - I'd be happy to build a website for "A Night At The Queen(+) Vinyl vs. CD Attack Of The Hot Space Jazz Works On Fire FAQ" or whatever - on my sparetime, that is - which is rather scarce for the next 10 months at least. Or perhaps we should just call it "Duck Soup", unless QPR are going to name their upcoming release thus? =P
Good idea Jack! ;-)

I don't have any webspace and zero knowledge about building websites, but if you need any information on any of the releases and all their different versions, I'd be happy to supply you with information!
