Queen - Definitive Sao Paulo 1981 (Likely not the "Pre-FM Master")
Finally received this today, Mega folder contains the 2 CD + DVD, the DVD is the original VHS source we had before with the CD's audio. Not fully sure if this really is a full upgrade considering the previous Wardour pre-fm bootleg, but it is what it is.

Well i don't have any other sources here to compare soundwise but they seem to have edited the old DJ commentaries, in the middle of STL for example. It is a bit harsh, I think. Nevertheless, thank you. :)
Is this a new source or was it just EQ'd to have a bit more bottom end?
And how can it truly be a pre-FM if a song is only 40 seconds long?
Either way, it sounds great - thanks for posting !
I noticed something interesting in the DJ Intro track. I'm Brazilian and noticed that the commentary in that track is in Portuguese but someone from Portugal, not Brazil. The accent is very different. Anyway, is it possible that this is a different version that was broadcasted in Portugal somehow? Regardless , it sounds great.

Never underestimate the POWER of military censorship!
Anyway, we could have more evidence on this being pre-FM or not by analyzing the high-end of the spectrum.
I highly doubt the pre-fm claims myself, I only left that in as it’s the title of the release. The video seems to have more complete audio than the CDs.

I can see why they'd cut that song from the broadcast entirely, but why broadcast part of a song that suddenly cuts out? It doesn't make sense.
