How great it is to see a number of positive and very encouraging comments already emerging from those of you here on QZ who have now heard the BBC sessions as well as some other elements of QOA - and slightly ahead of release too, for some of you who received your orders early. Exciting stuff!! Like the old days. Some of the pre-release guess work here and negativity about the content was at times rather disheartening, and wide of the mark, partly because of details that could not be disclosed, and so I'm hoping to see more good-vibe fan feedback like that below... I agree, I think the sessions sound amazing, and so too the live recordings. Hope you all enjoy it. And the interviews too, of course, especially the 1989 'Queen For An Hour' encounter that turned out to be the very last interview the band would do together, though no-one knew it at the time. Lovely to hear it now, knowing what was to follow!!! ... and it's 27 years old already. Quite shocking! Oscar J wrote... MTRNR from session 4 sounds FANTASTIC. I think we might have underestimated this release. MercurialFreddie wrote... Guys, the mastering of It's Late on this release is marvellous, high frequencies seem to have been treated with delicacy. cmsdrums wrote... Mannheim sounds like a full remix - sounds really nice and full; a lovely 'live' feel but with everything really audible. |

| brians wig 04.11.2016 11:25 |
I'd still rather have had full concerts. Sometimes it would help to explain to us fans WHY somethings are omitted instead of just expecting us to lump it and shut up. I mean, WHY isn't the full Golders Green there? As for the other two gigs, well it seems to me they are an after-thought to fill up the disc. Really these are concerts that could be released in a live audio boxset (it seems such an easy job for Queen to put out something like a radio broadcast as it's potentially minimal effort). What are the chances they even will be now that "highlights" have been released? |

As I've said elsewhere - this is an excellent release but not without its flaws. The Ogre Battle intro is incomplete as he said above. The vinyl set, at £50 is lacking any kind of documentation or booklet which is really very poor indeed. That said, the CD set (the six disc one) is brilliant despite the flaws. The design of the CDs themselves is excellent, and the booklet is also very very good indeed - very informative and almost worth the price alone. The sound quality is not as great as some say above - but then I think I'd rather have it like this than remixed or remastered to a false standard. To me, it's easily the best release of the last decade easily. Just frustrating little details that prevent it being perfect. But I'm very pleased it's been done and don't forget (for the 6 CD box set) at a great price as well. Congratulations where it's due and it's deserved here. Doesn't mean I don't stand by my previous comments but credit where it's due. |

You get Roger counting in on the high hat, and that clearly is meant to continue under the riff, but was mixed out on broadcast/released version. It's inclusion would only have made sense if they'd been able to go back to the multi's or found a master with it still intact. |

Greg, the problem is that this is a good release, when with really minimal effort it could be a GREAT release. That's why so many people are disappointed. Anyway just as a member of the "I'll be getting my 6CD copy on Christmas" club, I'd also like to know about some "technical" details - sound quality, problems, overdubs, edits etc. |

"I mean, WHY isn't the full Golders Green there? " Because it isn't called 'Queen: Live at Golders Green'. It isn't about Golders Green. If it DID have the full Golders Green on it you would probably find a million things to complain about such is your obsession with the bloody thing. |

Compiling multiple shows (from different eras even) for a live CD is an old and odd practice. It doesn't make sense. We'd like to know just WHY they couldn't put the entire Golders Green show on there, and call it a day? |
| mooghead 04.11.2016 14:59 |
Coz if they were going to release the whole show then release it on its own, it is an important and historical gig, it would probably make money as a stand alone release (which is all QPL care about at the end of the day) |

I got the 6 CD set and have enjoyed it so far. I have been very critical of the live disc, and rightfully so I think. I would have rather had one full show than snippets of 3 shows. That being said, it is a fun listen. Golders is a lot better than any bootleg we have of it. For $47 and free shipping, I think it's worth it. Plus.. the sessions rock. A few things of note: - The US version is the Virgin EMI release from the rest of the world with a sticker added to the bottom with different copyright information and a unique UPC #. - The box itself is approximately the height and width of the Singles box sets that Parlophone released a few years ago (a bit shorter perhaps). The box is skinnier since it is 6 discs and a booklet. All 6 discs are housed in cardboard sleeves, each with a unique image. The booklet is nice and features some really nice archival pictures. In terms of content, there is nothing groundbreaking in the text. - The mixes all seem to be the original stereo mixes that appeared on the original broadcasts. See What A Fool I've Been is not the 2011 remix, but rather the original mix aired on BBC radio. - The remastering is really great the BBC sessions themselves. They run at the correct speed, stereo channels seem to be correct, and they are not mastered too loudly. - Not sure what wizardry was done to fix up the Ogre Battle guitar opening. I've heard that the guitar intro from another take was used? Or they cleaned up an older generation copy of that intro. Anyone have info? - We Will Rock You does have the spoken word interlude. - 6 disc set does have DJ banter at the end of each track. The banter does not interfere with the song itself. - For as much as I've criticized the live disc, it is a fun listen. The Golders Green stuff is not prestine, but it's way better than the bootlegs we have now. Morumbi sounds decent as does Mannheim. I do not think Morumbi and Mannheim are new mixes, rather I think they are period correct. There is some DJ banter on the live disc as well. - I have skipped around the interview discs. There is some good insight from the band here. - I'm in the minority on this one, but I really like the artwork and visual direction on this set. |

This release would have been perfect with just a 3 cd set. disc 1 and 2 including THE COMPLETE sessions and a 3rd disc with the full Golders Green concert. That would have made it a Perfect product, but no, they had to F.. it up. And in the name of God!!! How on earth are you gonna Shred concerts like Manheim and Sao Pauio which are Excellent, and just give us a few Snippets..... Both concerts deserve to be released in full, both had a great performance from the band. I still can't believe this year there was nothing at all released related to Knebworth or Hyde Park, No DVD with any live concert, maybe Buenos Aires, Earls Court, Hammy 79', a big N!!!, not even a downloadable audio from Hyde or Knebworth park. Totally disappointed. Let see what happens in 2017, |

I've loved the chatter on the Session 5 bootleg we've had for years and now I get to hear more from the others. I think it's bloody marvellous that QPL have actually GIVEN us something that we never dreamed of in a million years, so let's not moan about it! A simple solution here is this: None of us are idiots and I'm sure everyone here is capable of editing it off the songs and burning their own discs if they don't want to spend even more money on the 2 disc set. Either that or find a download somewhere.... |

Now THAT would be another reason to get the 2CD set. What? You don't think they have? Well I suppose you're right - that's too much hard work... |

I bought both the vinyl at £50 and the CD set at £33. VINYL Positives: Sounds fucking brilliant! Really, really excellent quality audio. Has breathed a new life into some of the tracks, and it's really exciting to finally have all this officially released. Sessions 4, 5 and 6 are absolutely stunning. Artwork - simple, yet eye catching. Some great pictures inside and lovely idea seeing the reels and cue-sheets etc. Download code. Yes, it's the norm, but just glad they remembered. Not everyone will buy the CD! Negatives: No DJ talk between tracks like on the CD version. No MOTBQ. I don't care that it was the studio version - it was aired, and thus makes the set incomplete. No booklet. This could easily have been included. Quality of the packaging: 3x 180g LPs stuffed into a delicate tri-fold sleeve meant that the cover already has ringwear, as do the inners. There is absolutely no give in the dimensions, meaning vinyl is difficult to remove and put back in without sweating that you'll rip the cover. The price. £50 is a lot, considering basics like a booklet are missing! Could have been better quality packaging for the price. CD Positives: As per the vinyl, i.e sound quality and artwork BUT also happy with the addition of DJ chat in between tracks. The inclusion of Golders Green in great quality. Some great interviews. Informative booklet. Negatives: Although happy with the DJ chat, it's heavily cut and seems disjointed from the tracks themselves. Almost no flow - it loses the feel of a broadcast. No MOTBQ. Incomplete Golders Green and pointless bits and bobs from other shows. And what's with the stupid radio frequency noises between shows? I know it's as though we're changing stations and landing on another Queen show, but just....why? They could've made it sound like one full show, through time like "Rare Live" (flaws on that not up for discussion here lol). Packaging - very flimsy and all card sleeves already have ringwear. Summary Overall, happy with the audio and BBC sessions. But a wasted opportunity for a much better release. |

Obviously your work contains "details that could not be disclosed", but the reality is that nobody wants something else from you. Who needs fucking generic comments from Queen archivist, gardener or driver? I guess it's part of the job description to enthusiastically support any past, present, future or potential action of your employer. Some higher education could have been useful though, to express these nice and biased thoughts in a more articulate way. I bet Jim Beach didn't expect you will escape from the vault and go public, when he picked you. Otherwise he had to make a better choice. |

I'm still trying to comprehend Greg's original post. I appreciate him posting on here, but his general attitude in the initial thread starter sums up everything that's wrong with QP. "Let's give them a half-baked product that we can put together without any great work, as we know people will buy it regardless..." Sorry, Greg, but there's only two Queen/related releases worth having since 1995: the Freddie boxset and Rainbow. Does that not leave you even the slightest bit embarrassed? |

Well I've listened to the first 2 discs of the 6CD version and I seriously don't understand all the positive comments. The only interesting things are the comments between songs, and even they are for some reason in bad quality and heavily edited - the season 5 chatter for example is longer. Sound quality is nothing special, it's on par with the circulating recordings, I would even say session 3 and some tracks on sessions 2 and 4 sound worse than the unofficial versions. And I still hate the packaging. |

I don't have the greatest ear, nor the technical knowledge to articulate why I find the official release better - but I definitely noticed a huge difference in quality. The official release is amazing sound-wise: much clearer, subtly louder and brings out pieces I may have missed on the bootlegs. As I say, breathed a new life into it for me. Don't know why Pittrek is so unhappy with it. |

DVD and CD. After many times were re-released and these tracks were there. And then why-that was not a question of copyright. |

I believe Golders Green 73 will be released in the future in its full. Maybe minus See What A Fool I've Been but it will be released with Big Spender and Bama Lama Bama Loo. |

Is the On Air release of Golders Green really the best around? This sounds pretty good. |

^ QOA sounds like a cleaner copy, alternatively cleaned up in Pro Tools. It has also been remastered with a quite nice EQ balance IMO. |

Hi, Has anybody seen promo material from the new Queen on Air release? My local record dealer gave me a couple of great Promo Posters: link I am selling one on eBay but i would like to swap it for different promo materials from Queen on Air. Does anyone has some more promo items? Please let me know. Thanks! |

Greg, I think you overestimated the gullibility of most fans. Out of loyalty to a local record shop, I bought the 2 disc set for $24, instead of the approx. $19 on line offerings. Adding the Deep Cuts version of TMOTBQ to 'complete' the set, I am thrilled. I no longer have to listen to the crappy youtube versions I converted eons ago. For only double the price, I could have had the 6 disc box set. I passed. I would have gladly paid $29 for a 3 disc set, with the complete Golders Green concert as the third disc. Just thought you'd like to know. As is, I'll continue to listen to what I converted from youtube of that concert, above to very good quality. |

For Hammersmith, I only bought the CD (I skipped the DVD, Blu-Ray and box set). However, I did buy the Rainbow box set. |

The sleeve notes repeated the old fallacy that Smile's version of DAR was sung soley by Tim Staffell. In actual fact, it's a duet between Tim and Roger. |

The box, as we know, has the live crap and interviews. As GOFLB was performed at the BBC for a BBC show, the question is valid, is it not? |
