so this version is better? we should all download this and not that other version that came on dime and now is on QZ as well? |
| deleted user 11.05.2009 02:54 |
This version has a bit of tape damage and on screen characters. I have a better version recorded myself normally reserved for trading purposes. I will try to upload although I'm sure this will confuse the issue even more. |
| queenside 11.05.2009 03:24 |
ok, thanks for quick reply. i think we all would be very grateful if you could upload your version, you can call it "the definitive version" or something like that and say that it is the best quality so far so there won't be any confussion |
| Dodger Taylor 11.05.2009 05:22 |
This is amazing,Iv waited 20yrs to see a decent copy of this show as it wasnt shown in my area at the time and suddenly THREE versions of it all appear within a week lol This version is far superior to what I had but I wouldnt say no to an even better version if Mr Kurgan would generously upload the one he has. Big Thanx to all who has shared their many versions |

Ok I'll post a megaupload announce link here soon. It will be titled cross meltdown from kurgans vault (definitive claims can never be justified) For the record I think it's 1st or 2nd generation as I can't remember if I edited out adverts off air (I did have two machines for editing purposes back then). Unfortunately these were only linear audio machines. Lineage is either Analogue mono TV broadcast > Sony betamax C9 > Verbatim DVD+R Dolby Digital 2.0 256kps or Analogue TV broadcast > Sony betamax C9 > Sony betamax C9 >Verbatim DVD+R Dolby Digital 2.0 256kps Approx 1.6 GB (23 mins 42 seconds) Screen shot A nice cover I created chapters for each song. NB - Betamax only lost the battle against VHS for one reason, and it certainly had nothing to do with quality. |

Thank you Kurgan,you are most kind I remember the good old betamax tapes,as I recall they were a smaller size than vhs tapes Betamax was always known for being better quality so this should be a good recording [img=/images/smiley/msn/thumbs_up.gif][/img] |
| deleted user 11.05.2009 12:58 |
Ok Dodger, seeing as you waited 20 years, it will be dedicated to you! |
| deleted user 11.05.2009 16:11 |

I'm full of regret because I let my original, 'straight from the TV', VHS tape go when I sold off the bulk of my Queen collection in the early 90's (to a well known Queen buyer in Holland I recall). It was *perfect* quality and I wish I'd never parted with it. |
| deleted user 21.05.2009 17:43 |
But you sold it for profit, tough luck daddio! |

A PAL dvd will play on ANY PC that is capable of playing Dvds. Download VLC (freeware) |
