Dissapointed |

Source? Google Images say me that you're the source of the image. |
| BETA215 18.02.2015 11:41 |
Forget it. I found it. (BTW: Finally a lossless copy of the Orbit's mix!) |
| LucasDiego 18.02.2015 12:23 |
For many people, and me, they need to release a 4 track EP with the tracks, better to pay many for 33 tracks everybody learned on vinyl. |
| Vali 18.02.2015 13:07 |
Give me a vinyl single with the four tracks and forget all the rest |
| miraclesteinway 18.02.2015 14:08 |
only £75 ? I'll buy two copies. |

I hope you guys recognized the warning disclaimer "William Orbit Remix" :) |
| brians wig 18.02.2015 14:59 |
"... limited edition on April 13 (excluding US & Canada, which will follow later)". So. Is it a Limited Edition only available from QOL NOW with the 12"? Will it be a normal 4 disc set released sometime in North America or what? Not very limited if they're doing a few runs is it? Certainly don't want to pay £75 (Jeez! Where DO they make these prices up from?) from QOL only to find I can pick it up a lot cheaper a few months later in the US. Clarity from QPL..... :( |

No thanks.... |

A waste of money. There's so many things they could release that are much more worthwhile! No thanks. |
| scollins 18.02.2015 17:34 |
flogging a dead horse :) its always the same old shite why don't they just fecking get a new album out with Freddie singing with reworked songs? instead of all this snash? |
| Apocalipsis_Darko 18.02.2015 20:23 |
100 €!!!!!!!! are they crazy??? |
| brunogorski 18.02.2015 21:32 |
Jesus, a bigger version of that crap?! |
| Jimmy Dean 18.02.2015 22:15 |
I think Freddie would have said: "Oh, shit, all that crap again?" |
| stevelondon20 19.02.2015 01:08 |
I agree! |
| jacksonmerc 19.02.2015 03:46 |
Whinge whinge bloody whinge. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I for one will be buying it. |
| brians wig 19.02.2015 03:54 |
I collect vinyl and will therefore be buying. Doesn't mean I have to like the extortionate price though. I've looked into vinyl prices and 1000 copies (of 4 LPs in full colour sleeves and one 12" in a full sleeve like these are), at 180gm vinyl is approx of £11,000. You go work out how much it costs to produce this boxset. No more than £15 per unit I reckon when you take into account the box as well. £75 sale price is one hell of a mark up. My feelings are that this should cost no more than £45 - £50. QPL are just being plain greedy again. I bet the band are taking £10 profit each from the sale (that's £40 straight away) |

| Estranged 19.02.2015 08:32 |
I wanted a full-size version of the album cover, I'm obviously not going to pay this stupid joke of a price to get it. Oh yeah, there's also a lossless copy of the Orbit Mix, yea, don't care. |
| Vocal harmony 19.02.2015 08:51 |
Record companies will always charge the biggest mark up they can on any project. I think this is being aimed at serious vinyl collectors rather than the everyday fan. Still no excuse. I won't be buying it and I am a vinyl collector! |
| people on streets 19.02.2015 09:23 |
Boy there are some pathetic criebabies in this topic... If you don't like the item or the way it's priced, don't buy it. Simple. Or wait for amazon. They are always cheaper :) |
| MercurialFreddie 19.02.2015 10:26 |
It's good for people who want to hear lossless 24/96 tracks, the same as with Rainbow vinyl.... but what one should think of this product after Brian said that if it was up to him [Queen Forever] would've been an EP with 3 new tracks. So couldn't they just release 3-new tracks + Orbit mix on vinyl ? |

The whinging is more than justified, it seems to me, especially after such a long time of more or less the same thing happening with Queen releases. |

Hardly any wonder why queen productions refrain from releasing anything when they are subjected to criticism with anything they do.. As my first post says, if you don't like it don't buy it. Perhaps you can prevent "poor releases" by not buying it. Maybe poor sales of this item will send them a message? As a serious queen collector this release appeals to me. Whingebags should button it. |

It's a poor release, if someone want to buy, good luck, but i prefer to save my money to good things that will come soon, queen and non queen releases. |

You're suggesting is that we are only allowed to post positive opinions, and you actually WANT QP to think that their products are magnificent, and to encourage them to make even more of the same? "If you don't like it, don't buy it" isn't a valid argument, because there are always a few thousand idiots who will buy anything with the Queen nametag, which will lead QP to think that these are the kinds of products we actually want... Negative feedback is the only way to try and convince them to release something else. |

If everyone thinks about it, this release isnt as bad as it first sounds. None of the tracks on this album are available on vinyl anywhere else but here. These are new remasters of the original analogue tapes, no matter how much compression and loudness was used before, this is still the first time the 2011 remasters appear on vinyl, as well as the new three tracks. The cd pales to this release because you are getting the full uncompressed version rather than the digital cd compressed version. So actually it is all possible these will sound completely different to the cd's released in 2011 and may even sound better than everyone first thought. The price should be I agree at £49.95 for the boxset. I collect vinyl because I want to hear it in the best possible way and even though I have all the SACD's these will sound different as they come from the uncompressed masters. |
| Pingfah 20.02.2015 07:42 |
Just because they come from the 2011 remasteres doesn't mean they will be good. It depends how good a job they do cutting the vinyl master. The last set of 180 reissues were from the original remasters, but sound nothing like them, and nowhere near as good, which is especially poor since the original remasters weren't that good to start with. |
| Rugby_guy 20.02.2015 09:19 |
Money for old rope. Hope they make a loss from this crap item. |
| the dude 1366 25.02.2015 19:49 |
The SACD's are also horribly compressed. The best digitals are non-remastered cd's |
| Estranged 27.02.2015 14:12 |
the dude 1366 wrote: The SACD's are also horribly compressed. The best digitals are non-remastered cd's I partially agree. For A Kind Of Magic onwards, the first pressings are the best. These albums were digital recordings, and the original CD mastering wasn't made with tapes eq'd for vinyl: it's, for all intent and purposes, pretty much perfect. The 2011s of these albums are simply too loud, often creating saturation (not to mention the fact that, if you only buy the single disc versions, you lose the bonus tracks that were present on the original pressings of AKOM and The Miracle). One could mention that the 2011 Made In Heaven is worth getting if only because the remastering actually removed the saturation during Mother Love. I would argue that for Queen and Queen II, the 2011s are the best these albums have ever sounded on digital format. The original pressings are waaay to muddy and undefined (probably because they were made from LP eq'ed master tapes). Not to mention that Queen II finally gets a visually stunning cover. Hot Space sounds punchier on the 2011; thanks to the added compression. it's not brickwalled, and to these ears, sounds a bit better, but I guess the original CD is fine too. A Day At The Races is the best sounding digital version. The tracks are correctly indexed -unlike the original CD, and it's not eq'ed to hell as was the MFSL gold disc. For A Night At The Opera, the original CD wasn't very good sounding to me. Thankfully, most of the other versions sound great, the best being the DCC Gold Disc. The 2011 is an exact digital clone of the previous Bob Ludwig 2005 remaster, apart from Bo Rhap. And it sounds great, too. Never cared much for the MFSL. For News Of The World, all CD copies I've heard sound pretty fine to me. The original, the 1994, the 2011, the MFSL...all sound good. Never cared much for The Works, but I prefer the original CD. I don't own Flash, and I don't care at all for it. The only true offenders of the 2011 remastering campaign are really The Game and Sheer Heart Attack. Horribly loud. The original pressings are the way to go here, too -if you can score the MFSL for The Game, even better! Jazz, well...With the "re-instated Bass drum" bullshit and the added compression, the 2011 gets a red card from me. It's still the best reissue campaign the Queen Catalog has ever got (from a strict mastering point of view), way better than the 1991 or the 1994s (the mini-LPs are too compressed as well). My two cents. |
