I'm having difficulties getting the right answers regarding this. What albums were remastered by Hollywood Records in 1991? Which ones weren't and the HR versions are just like the originals? Wha HR cds have mastering errors? When they fixed this errors?, which batch of cd have this problem fixed? Thank you! |

The Hollywood Records 1991 20th Anniversary Remasters: Queen: Digitally Remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood. Queen II: Digitally Remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood. SHA: Digitally Remastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Town House, London. ANATO: Digitally remastered by Stephen Marcussen at Precision Mastering, Hollywood. ADATR: Digitally remastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Town House, London. NOTW: Digitally remastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Town House, London. Jazz: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood. Live Killers: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood. The Game: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood. Flash Gordon: Digitally remastered by Stephen Marcussen at Precision Mastering, Hollywood. Hot Space: Digitally remastered by Kevin Metcalfe at The Town House, London. The Works: Digitally Remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood. AKOM: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood. The Miracle: Digitally remastered by Eddy Schreyer at Future Disc Systems, Hollywood. Sheer Heart Attack early pressings have an error on In The Lap Of The Gods. This was corrected. News Of The World early pressings have an error on It's Late. This was corrected. The Miracle features a different mix of I Want It All that remained in print until it was replaced by the Bob Ludwig 2011 remasters. Your best bet for finding NOTW and SHA remaster error CDs would be the original longbox releases with the old Hollywood Records logo (palm tree/earth logo). No guarantees though. Made In Heaven and Innuendo, I would imagine, would both be mastered the same as the UK version since they were both new releases for Hollywood. Wilki is the resident remaster expert and I'm sure will add any useful information that I may have missed. |

Thank you. That's exactly what I needed to know. |

I remember hearing about the "It's Late" error on NOTW but this is the first I've heard of an error on "In The Lap Of The Gods" on SH. Interesting. |

I spent 17 years not realizing that I'd been listening to a mastering error! I bought SHA on CD back in 94 - i was 10 at the time and building my Queen collection. I live in Canada and bought the HR version at a second hand store. Since then I had listen to the album hundreds of times... and only in 2011, when i got the new remaster (available in Canada.. we never had the 94 editions released here)... I thought they made a mistake in Lap of The Gods... the intro sounded a little off... and of course that's when i did some research to find out I'd been listening to an improper version for years! |

I remember listening to '39 on my HR pressing and freaked out at how sloppy it was when the bass drum dropped out halfway through (1.45 or there abouts). Sure another cock up? I went back to my other versions and I'd never noticed it was part of the song. :( |

Hot Space in the UK 1994 Digital Remasteres Series had an error - there was "a silent gap" in one of the last chourus of Back Chat; Back ... Chat. I thought for many years that it was intended. |
| Adam Unger (QueenVault.com) 20.02.2014 11:53 |
Ah, interesting. Never knew about the Back Chat issue. |

The interesting in the 2011 cds, it's there have a silence in the cds, in the parts where ends the sides of the original vinyls, in the EMI 94 remasters, there haven't this silence |

Serious discussion was available among all of the parts that were good to read along all forums at this that was useful to have. I was able to have some details that was at https://www.eturbonews.com/258760/5-things-that-need-to-be-your-habit-for-productive-study/ this was the site that have some of the power that was good to read among all of these parts that was useful to have at this. |

Interesting. A lot of the albums i bought in the 90's on cd were the Hollywood Records versions. I had no idea they were inferior, the album art looked slick(er) than the DMS and had bonus tracks and were cheaper, so i went with those. DISCLAIMER: 90's kid, no internet. |
| dysan 11.09.2019 12:06 |
Yeah they were lovely to look at after years of basically blank UK cassette inlays. |

This was corrected.Some versions of the early Hollywood Records SHA album contain a different version of the Michael Wagener remix of Stone Cold Crazy too. That is, some versions include laughter at the end of the song, some versions don't. Don't know how to recognize which versions is on which pressing though. |
| mooghead 12.09.2019 18:07 |
That laughter comes through one speaker. If you listen through the other speaker very loudly you can hear a bit of studio banter. |
| dysan 12.09.2019 18:25 |
One of the better remixes on those CDs it must be said. |
| paulosham 12.09.2019 22:17 |
The Hollywood issue of Queen II seperates March Of The Black Queen and Funny How Love Is at the wrong place. |
| dysan 13.09.2019 06:24 |
Yeah track marking on every Queen CD with joined up songs is screwed up. So annoying! |

Inspired by this thread I listened to all the 1991 remixes in isolation for the first time in maybe a decade (A pretty neat little playlist) but wow some of them are really really terrible. Even technically some of them are very amateurish. I had an idea in my head all this time they had some worth. I enjoyed revisiting them though and recommend it. |

This surprises me! I have a real soft spot for the fairground organ version of Flash. It's over long of course but when it gets going it makes me smile. Despite their flaws, I hope we get these all collect up at some point. I assume they are currently off-catalogue. I'm sure to a huge chuck of people they were part of the first time they heard these albums. |
| Holly2003 15.09.2019 11:17 |
Flash one time. Flash two times. Not good :-( |
| dysan 15.09.2019 11:37 |
Well when you put it like that.. :D |
| Holly2003 15.09.2019 11:50 |
:) I bought a copy of A Kind of Magic thinking it was by Hollywood but it's an EMI Italy release with "Extra Magical Ingredients", namely: A Kind of 'A Kind of Magic' Friends will be Friends will be Friends Forever |
| dysan 15.09.2019 12:57 |
Yeah I think that was just the standard original CD release |
| Holly2003 15.09.2019 13:07 |
dysan wrote: Yeah I think that was just the standard original CD releaseProbably. I was still buying vinyl right up to Innuendo and starting buying CDs retrospectively in the mid-late 1990s, so I picked the Hollywood Records versions as they had bonus discs and nice booklets :) |
| dysan 16.09.2019 09:04 |
Same. Well, with tapes. In fact I'm not even sure I had a CD player by the time Innuendo came out TBH. Although I had by that point discovered the CDs had booklets which I devoured every time I went into a record shop. I was the guy reading the booklets. Before that the most exciting it got was when I bought Jazz on tape and the cassette body was blue instead of the usual faded yellow. |
