Probably. But certainly sound great on this evidence.
BTW I heard a (Stereo) Elektra promo of the It's Late edit and WOW it sounded fantastic. I guess they just had the mastertapes sent over from UK but someone obviously did something nice to it along the way.
Or I'm so used to hearing bodged remasters and have forgotten what the original releases sounded like.
yes can't wait for the queen mono mixes on colored vinyl box set. lol
queen in mono... i think the last band you'd want to hear in mono is Queen.
there are very few bands that absolutely deserve to have their entire collection in 5.1 or better yet 7.1 atmos.... Queen is one of them.
(rush, steely dan also come to mind)
Agreed :)
I was talking about old releases - a completest would've liked Mono versions as bonus tracks, especially any that might contain notable mix differences.
Mono mix can be interesting for who collects all versions... this is also my case :)
You can check queenpedia in section 7" US promos (Elektra 73-82)... this list can be incomplete but it's a start point link
and also in 12" promos we can find something
on youtube: mono version of another one bites the dust e don't stop me now link (direct transfer) link (mic dub)
in digital format we can find keep yourself alive (single edit mono) in greatest hits 14 tracks elektra (target CD 5E-564-2)
can we share these songs? it's official stuff...

I think Killer Queen sounds great in mono - it suits well in that it's basically a baroque pop song on a shuffle beat, could've believably been a hit in 1966. I'd still pick stereo if forced to choose, and certainly their more dense productions wouldn't work very well in mono.
I'm sorry, I didn't catch you, you mean if they had corrected information on sleeve/label/cover of CD Version? LP and CD version of KYA present in Greatest Hits Elektra are both Mono and there are no information (on cover) about version
Or maybe they put the mono version of KYA on GH on purpose to save some space on the LP? Songs in mono take less space on vinyl than in stereo, I think?
