Is there actually one idiot who made Montreal '81 the next release?
Brian May said he was unhappy with the sound. I doubt the casual fan can hear the difference between the old mix and the new mix.
They are so out of touch with what the public wants. They can easily satisfy the casual fan and the obsessive fan. Haven't they milked us enough with all the remastering and Greatest Hits releases? Why not use the original mix? This is the way it was intended to be heard and it also has Freddie's stamp of approval. You'll see, they will milk us again with a whole new series of CDs with the original vinyl mixes.
Anything concert played before 1982 doesn't have CLTCL and ABTD, two of their biggest hits. They really try to maximize sales at the expense of their true fans. Those songs can be left out and you still have KQ, BR, WATC, WWRY.
What is Greg Brooks doing about this? Is he so afraid of losing his job that he chooses not to have a voice? Flick of the Wrist baby.
You can contact Brian via his website. Or Greg might be able to help you....
By the way.... Greg has nothing to do with what is released by QPL. He is merely their researcher/archivist.
It's so easy to blame Greg... But it's really stupid.
Blaming Greg for Queen Productions releasing Montreal '81 is like blaming the light technician for The Magic Tour for putting Delilah on Innuendo

What's wrong with Delilah - I mean that's like Queen II and the FFMS...they're weird songs but class. No?
FFMS is wonderful. Delilah is a big meowing mistake. :)

Queen productions would be Jim Beach, Brian, Roger, John largely in absentia, and Freddie's estate (Mary?). Fairly sure they are all equal partners in the QP universe.
I think John is the Jabba the Hutt of Queen, the others do his bidding for him, Freddie didn't agree with him and he was fed to a creature under John's throne room and has never been seen since
