Copy the bonus CDs from the remasters on 4 CDRs - and there you have it ! The box set, that might have become "The Anthology". You can stretch it with the most interesting remixed backing tracks from "The Eye"- soundtrack plus the Japanese "Queen Greatest Karaoke Hits". You get up to 8 CDrs of high ...

Why decide for only one of them, when you can have them all?

"Nevermore"..."Lilly of the valley"..."Love of my Life".."You take my breath away"...those songs in between the rock songs made the albums special.

I can't think of any other albums from 84-88 that sound as muffled or leaden as Mr Bad Guy did. If Freddie was really leading on that production, he dropped the ball massively. No qualms with the original Barcelona but I do maintain there is a possibility that he didn't want to plough money into it...

I disagree. Freddie would rather be in and out of the studio as quickly as possible around that time. And Jim Beach has already stated Fred got bored with the MBG sessions and wanted to move on. It was Brian who was the band member who would sit around the studio after hours making things as perfec...

Anyways, we would always get to the parking lot several hours early for the party. Part of the anticipation was seeing how many tractor trailers were needed to haul in all the gear. Queen always had the most. Interesting place ! Never saw something like that. Queen definitely had the most in 1979. ...

Totally agree about the improved quality of the remastered MBG and Barcelona albums. They were truly atrocious before - tinny, thin, sound and cheap sounding keyboards on Barcelona especially. The recent version of MBG is an absolute revelation - his voice is so full and warm (as it should be); and...

In the 70s and 80s, when bootlegs were ultra rare, "Hangman" was always a kind of holy grail for collectors, a highly mysterious song. Some bootlegs listed it as two songs, labelling the second half as "Shag out". From today's point of view it is just one of their earliest songs, which they soon dro...

And wouldn't you know it, he starts a lot of posts with "Hi Darlings!" Dolezal had a tv series on Servus TV a while ago, where he talks about his encounters with all the big stars including Queen. I never followed him on the net. But watching these shows on TV he is nowhere near calling the viewers...

I don't know why they chose to use synths instead of a real orchestra at the time, but I wouldn't be surprised if the decision was mostly financial - Polydor being well aware of the relative failure of Mr Bad Guy so not wanting to spend too much on making the record. It should not be forgotten, whe...

I agree, the Glyn Johns version of Get Back is brilliant, but in terms of released product, Naked was better than Spector's version. Hey - we agree !!! Anything is better than Spector's screwed up mixes when it comes to the 70s. Especially Lennon's solo work. I was so happy with the "Spector-free" ...
