Following the topic regarding the multitracks of Hyde Park, I'd just like to discuss its recording for Capital Radio (don't know whether this has been discussed here before or not). I got the info from link (I wonder why I didn't notice it before): link Does anybody know more of this transcription disc? I guess it's never been aired? And if so, may it ever leak out? |

I dreamed about all concerning Hyde Park |

Did Capital Radio not air it on the day? I don't know as I was at the concert. Never really got to the bottom of this. |

If I remember correctly some radio station wanted to broadcast it in 2005 before the QPR Hyde Park concert |
| deleted user 09.02.2012 09:22 |
But does anyone actually remember if it was ever broadcast on Capital Radio? |

In the article the LP is on the "official" releases ones... so mostly like it was broadcasted... and as it has (had) a price (100 pounds, too much even today, in these ages it was a fortune) someone must have this LP... maybe isnt better that the bootleg audio we have, maybe is the same... or maybe it was recorded by other crew (capital crew) |

This extract from the '76 Autumn issue of the Fan Club magazine confirms the concert did not go out live on Capital Radio. link |

So, it was not broadcasted but there is a record of the concert... Maybe they used this recording for You Take My Breath Away on the second disc of ADATR reissue. Better than nothing... |

Assuming Capital Radio still have that recording and it's in good shape, then QPL have no excuses not to release the full thing on video with a stereo soundtrack. Of course though, that precludes them making overdubs which means they'd have to put it out unadulterated.... |

But this begs the question - why would this 1989 Record Collector magazine advertise a Capital Radio transcription disc of the show as being for sale (or at least, existing)Although there are thousands of BBC transcription discs about, have you ever seen a single one from Capital Radio - by ANY artist? Capital Radio in 1976 were a local (London) independent FM station, a far cry from the BBC. If you pay to put an advertisement for your Saturday market stall in Record Collector, I guess you can claim to have pretty much anything in stock. The aim would surely be to draw in the punters, and it probably did just that. A bit of an urban myth by now if you ask me, all thanks to that one solitary advert that keeps cropping up. The guy who placed it probably still has a good laugh about it down at his local. .......and don't even get me started on the claim made about Hyde Park by the ''Archivist'' in his 1995 novel. |

It was proudly on display at the stormtroopers exhibition. Brian could overdub till his heart's content! |

If they had the multitracks for Wembley first night they didn't bother to use them for the DVD release. |

Who knows what is true? Jacky from the fanclub has said that at least parts of the video are not usable... Other sources claim that there's an issue with the multi track. The reality is: if the really want to they can at least release a great audio version of the show. If the folks working for the Beatles can make the Hollywood Bowl show sound way better from only 3 track tape and lots of wizardry then the same is possible for Queen at Hyde Park (with waaaaay better results!) They just opt for the easy route, kinda spoiled with all the great stuff they have. |

When QPR played Hyde Park in 2005 it was a news item on Belgian TV that it was the first time the band playing there "since their historic free concert in 1976". |
| Rick 15.03.2017 12:50 |
With the right people, everything is possible. Maybe QP should not depend on the same people every time. Hire a true expert and get some sh*t going. It's a disgrace that an iconic band like Queen has such poor live releases (with the exception of Rainbow 1974). |

I keep showing people the Hammersmith '75 cover and they genuinely can't believe it's an official release. |

brians wig wrote:LOL - understanding from where? That's clearly nonsense - along with the claim that both Earls Court recordings are plagued by the piano vocal mic not being recorded. Just utter nonsense. In a live concert setting, they don't record songs one by one - so either, the claim is completely bogus as with most claims from QPL/Brooks or they've lost one fo the tapes. Depending on the tape legth and recording speed, it may have even fit on one tape. The tape/s would have been instantly duplicated at the time too.Bad Seed wrote: Never mind a stereo, they have the multi-track. It was proudly on display at the stormtroopers exhibition.

link according to this website... A single 2" 24 track tape, running at 15ips, will hold about 30 minutes of audio. So Hyde Park would have needed 4 separate tapes? Nowadays it's common practice, from what I've read, to run 2 seperate Pro Tools rigs to capture everything. But in 1976 probably one mobile (The Fleetwood mobile truck perhaps) would only have one multitrack recorder?! Mind you... what happens when they have to switch tapes? Obviously between songs... Anyway... it's entirely possible that at least one of the multitrack is missing... Hope this helps? *winks* |

We'll never get an official Queen product that has undergone this much restoration and care - simply because nobody whose 'say' matters enough, cares enough to make it happen. |
