Sorry for the stupid title, it was the first thing which came to my mind :-) Glad you like it folks |

Yara 17.05.2009 15:26 |
Thanks, Pittrek, as always! I can write "thanks, pittrek" without having to look at the keyboard anymore. ;-)) It's automatic. :op Oww, so cute the title, such a lovely title, I'll download it just because of the title you chose. These details make a huge difference to me. Oh, it was so cute the title...! It's almost a huggable title! Now I'm def downloading it. And start building my big collection which is going to become an EMPIRE. Beware! It's not going to be comprised only of Queen concerts - there will be much more. I'm going big, I'm going own the whole thing and then hopefully release the Yara Label. : ))) lol You'll see... lol Thanks again, Pittrek! Take care. Lovely upload, very interesting concert it seems. Knowking how much of a fan you are of the 84 tour, I'm sure this concert must be really good. Hehehe. Best regards, Yara |

Ooh thanks Pittrek, I already had these as separate recordings but can't wait to hear what this sounds like after you've applied your usual magic to it! | ||
TimBHM 17.05.2009 19:17 |
It seems that the tracks "11 Vocal Improvisation" from disc 1 and "19 Guitar Solo" from disc 3 are corrupted. Any chance you could re-up those two? Thanks! |

Incidentally, the pictures all come from the performance on the 14th, including the cover. |

Thanks, I have several versions of the second night, including the recent silver which I like very much. Still, I'm going to download this aswell because I know it'll be great:-) And the artwork is another great reason. You guys rock! | ||

But what we do know is that it's bulletproof to have no labels at all. :-) |
||
Ale Solan 20.05.2009 17:49 |
thanks Bob! personally, I don't use labels for my CDs, only a couple non Queen related DVDs (printable) and had no probs at all so far with 'em; I'm not sure about the reliability of printable CDs/DVDs but I'm sure they're way more reliable than stickers, that's for sure... and about lightscribe, is not very developed yet and it only supports monocrome designs. |

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-R Real-life (not accelerated aging) tests have revealed that some CD-Rs degrade quickly even if stored normally. The quality of a CD-R disc has a large and direct influence on longevity -- cheap discs shouldn't be expected to last very long. Unfortunately, branding isn't a terribly good guide to quality, because many brands (major as well as no name) do not actually manufacture their own discs. Instead they are sourced from different manufacturers of varying quality. For best results, verify the actual manufacturer and material components of each batch of discs. An example of a CD-R burned in 2000 showing dye degradation. Part of the data on it has been lost. [img=link Burned CD-Rs suffer from material degradation, just like most writable media. CD-R media have an internal layer of dye used to store data. In a CD-RW disc, the recording layer is made of an alloy of silver and other metals — indium, antimony, and tellurium.In CD-R media, the dye itself can degrade causing data to become unreadable. As well as degradation of the dye, failure of a CD-R can be due to the reflective surface. While silver is less expensive and more widely used, it is more prone to oxidation resulting in a non-reflecting surface. Gold on the other hand, although more expensive and no longer widely used, is an inactive material and so, gold-based CD-Rs do not suffer from this problem. Paper paste-on labels for CD-Rs have been linked to degradation of the recording surface, although the issue is not without controversy. Permanent markers are commonly used to mark the label side of CD-Rs and DVDs. This practice has been discouraged because it is believed xylene and toluene, common substances in permanent marker ink, can cause surface deterioration. Additionally, volatile organic compounds may be released which will remain inside the enclosed atmosphere of a CD-R's storage box, causing harm. |
||
Ale Solan 20.05.2009 18:11 |
Bottom line is, CD-Rs are not expected to last long, I recommend to run a backup of 'em every 6/8 years (mostly for Silver CD-Rs of course) ;-) |

Anyway the discs are getting cheaper, so I would just make a new one if necessary. I also protect the picture with lacquer (hope it's the right word). Great covers from both of you and I'm always very happy when I find labels as well[img=/images/smiley/msn/thumbs_up.gif][/img] So thank you for the share and the artwork. EDIT: Just got to page three, so it has been answered. |
