Check out 1:02 on this link: link The harmonies sound like they meant to say "Love, love and be free", but it sounds like they decided that they want it to repeat, but didn't edit it properly, leaving us with "love, love and BEEF love, love and be free" Always found that one a bit weird, lol.

Pizza Oven wrote: Hello Queen fans, Another question or two. Does anyone here own any of the Greatest Flix I & II Laser-discs? Either the separate volumes or the combo of the two volumes which is actually a Box Of Flix since it has the four bonus tracks that were released on the Box Of Flix UK VHS tape. If so, do any of these Laser-discs have the glitch in "Love Of My Life"? Since I am new to this forum and am not familiar with all the functions, I was wondering how a member can quote someone here in a reply? Also, the three almost identical messages I posted, is there anyone who I can contact here (site admin or moderator) to delete two of the three posts as to keeping the correct one of the three intact? Plus I flubbed a bit and actually hit reply and it made a post(s) that has no info typed in it since it was an accident. Is there a temporary edit function to correct or delete a post if an error is made within a few minutes after posting? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks. Pizza Oven

And, on the same horizontal line the furthest one to the right is the quote function.

Thanks for replying Kurgan. Is this true for all the laser-discs that have been released? I'm sure you know this but there are the Japan laser-discs as well as the UK versions. There is the USA laser-disc that is missing the Bicycle Race video. I need to find my VHS dub that I bought in 1992. I'm pretty sure the glitch is on my VHS dub of what I would assume is the USA laser-disc. I need to find it to confirm. I was told by the seller that my VHS dub was from laser-disc. At that time, especially here in the USA it was hard to find anything video related to Queen. You either had to buy the imports and/or have a laser-disc player and buy the Japan laser-discs. The formats besides Japan and USA were PAL only for the UK and I have never owned a laser-disc player. And they were expensive to buy as imports or even hard to find someone selling them or the OOP VHS. What country are your laser-disc(s) from? As far as the lossy audio on the promo DVD. I'm more into the Flix videos for the visual art aspect. The music on the videos is good enough for me as I can listen to my Queen CDs, vinyl and cassettes or even 8-track. Pizza Oven

I'm pretty sure the glitch on the promo DVD is limited to that particular release. If you want a clean stand alone copy of the LOML promo (interlaced PAL with LPCM audio) I can upload it and send you a link.

I can't remember the order of the bonus tracks on it, but I had 3 or 4 versions and they all cut off at various points during the bonus tracks and were missing a whole song. Like they basically screwed up how much tape they needed on tape 1.

dysan wrote: Ah ok thanks. BTW I was referring to my official VHS version of Box Of Flix with the abrupt ending error. I'm not sure I've heard anyone else have this issue but because I had a few copies I think it was a universal issue with it.
