I think Jazz has fantastic songs on it. I even like the Roger ones that everybody else hates :-)
Now the recording is really crap. I read from Mack that Queen weren't satisfied with it either. Will there be any chance of one day getting a really good mix of that album? Has anyone done such an effort privately? Compare the HR remix of Fat Bottomed Girls, it's sooooo good!
fAIRY KING!!! There'z been a lot of rumours lately 'bout a certain band called Queen...the rumours are that ah..the rumours are that they're gonna tour this year... I LOVE THIS QUOTE ITS THE BEST ONE AROUND!! LOL!! MAKES ME LAUGHT HEHE!!
I'd be curious to hear your version Joma. Haven't been able to access the site yet :-P
Here's my version. The original source is the 1991 Hollywood remaster.. I just happened to have the wavs on the computer from making a copy last night :)
***replaced with Roger Taylor Interview***
I'm just interested in anything anyone else edits since I do it so much as a hobby :)
I've got the download waiting in Download Accelerator. Got the actual page once and got the URL of the file but when I clicked, the traffic was too much again. I hate Geocities! :-P
I like what you've done, DeaconFan!
I left a little of the Fat Bottomed Girls chorus in it, it sounded very nice. If you really wnat to hear it, I can email it to you.
Nevermind.. I finally got it..
Hehe, you use Elctronic Cosmo's MPEG Suite too! That's my old favorite encoder and decoder.. but recently I've started using a free version of LAME which is nice in some ways but it doesn't seem to save my settings which drives me crazy.
Nice edit! I heard just a bit of 'around'. It's really nice to hear someone else who knows how to edit! Thanks for sharing :)
Currently my best favourite. (Doesn't mean best, but I absolutely adore the songs here.)
I admit that Fat Bottomed Girls could be way more powerful. But all songs are completely nutterly beautiful. I even like More of That Jazz. (Took me time, though.) Absolutely no filler in this album.
"Someone, anyone... say something to convince me to like Fun It. Cuz right now, I just can't stand that song."
If I were a stepford fan, I'd say something like "It's Queen. QUEEEEEEEEN I SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! They never did anything short of godly!!!" But, Since I'm not I'll say... "Sorry man, I always skip that track."
Yesterday I fell in sleep while listening to Jazz... I still think it's their best album. Jealousy, In Only Seven Days, Dreamer's Ball, Don't Stop Me Now.. they are all great. And yesterday I became aware of the beauty of If You Can't Beat Them. A real Queen song!!
I really thought that the Jazz album was Queen really doin Jazz lol!! when I first got it I had this rebelious Idea that this heavyrock band of the seventies gonna giv my sound system a taste of jazzed up song.
After listening
sea side rendevous..
lazing on a sunday afternoon
killer queen
milionnaire waltz
dreamers ball etc
Jazz album was the last to add to my collection, I got it with the attentions of hearing some real Jazz out of Queen as I knew after hearing the above songs from previous bought albums they got the flavour to pull it off.. and I probably would like it.
but as it stands its just another rock 'n roll album.. dissapointed at the title but pleased at the same time lol!
