QUEEN Discography- MONTREAL '81 in theaters near you

[Azyiu]

Speaking of A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, I actually have this 24K gold-plated version. It is supposed to sound better and clearer, but my stereo systems were never great enough to unleash its full quality, I guess?   

[DragonAttack]

I couldn't tell you the differences as well, but....of course, the wife has a copy



I still have the ADATR and NOTW versions.  I 'do know' that the guitars on 'All Dead All Dead' and 'It's Late' were clearly better, and the same goes with the BVs on 'Get Down Make Love'.  Will recheck when I go back through the discography again next year.

Released on what would have been Freddie’s 60th birthday.  Not sure how he’d feel about all the remixed abominations on this two disc overblown money grab.  Disc One is worthwhile (other than the ‘Love Kills’ remix (the first of five (?) on the two discs.  WTF!?!?!). 

Disc Two…..’Made in Heaven’ (extended version), ‘Love Makin’ Love (demo), and ‘Your Kind Of Lover’ (vocal & piano) are the only songs of note.  The rest….I can judge a book by its cover, and stayed clear of them without giving any of them five seconds of my time.

Others agreed:  https://queenpedia.com/index.php?title=Lover_Of_Life,_Singer_Of_Songs:_The_Very_Best_Of_Freddie_Mercury

Full disclosure:  we bought the one disc version.  Hey, it has a Dave Clark mix of ‘In My Defence’, the piano version of ‘Guide Me Home’ is lovely, and we liked the artwork on the cover.

Wembley Stadium Concert Interview

 

A to Z ?  The reason behind the track listings for it, and just the reason for this release was   ?? 

This was only released in the States (geesh......lucky us! ), and exclusive to Wal-Mart.  Well, we never shop there as is, and this wasn't a reason for us to start.

This is a CD and DVD set, with ringtones of 'Play The Game' and 'Good Old Fashioned Loverboy'.   

It is just as embarrassing to look at some of these crap offerings now as it was to read about them before and as they'd hit the market.   

Geez.....at least there was never a 'Volume 2' ........ though I would have loved to have seen the track listing for that and Volume 3

These were songs used in TV ads in Japan.  Not to be confused with their 'In Vision' Japanese release of 2000, it's track listing also from songs in TV ads
in Japan.  That release contained six songs on this release. Well, I'm not confused....I don't really care.


considering this scan, maybe 'Blurred Vision' was a hidden track

Queenpedia.com correctly tears Queen Productions a new one with their review
https://queenpedia.com/index.php?title=The_Singles_Collection_-_Volume_1

just a snippet:  "There is absolutely no reason to shell out hard-earned cash on this dross, especially during a time when the economy is in such a crisis that spending £40 on a box set should get you your money's worth."  and   "My advice: spend your £40 on a band who truly deserves it, on a band who's up and coming, on a band who thrives on integrity. Go see a live show, take the missus out for dinner, or give your money to a charity. This is a wasted opportunity that doesn't even deserve to lick the boots of Greatest Hits III. 10 for the music, of course, but -10 for execution. Lucky for us that we have three more similar boxes to look forward to."

*************
Well, if you spent a bunch of money on ‘The Singles Collection Volume 1’, you had about six months to save up for yet another ‘special collectors’ edition’ box set, this time of their next thirteen single releases.  Once again, each comes in its own sleeve.  And once again, the artwork is OK.

The collection is notable for containing tracks that have never before been officially released on CD, namely 'A Human Body' (previously only available as a 7" vinyl b-side) and 'Back Chat' (which was remixed for single release, and has only ever been available on the original 7"). The live tracks are taken from 'Live Killers'.

*********
The first paragraph of Queenpedia.com's review: Picking up where the downright embarrassing The Singles Collection - Volume 1 left off, Volume 2 collected the singles released between June 1979 and April 1984 – as long as they were a Top 30 hit anywhere in the world, amended slightly from the original vision of a Top 30 hit in the UK or US. (This accounts for the inclusion of the live version of Love Of My Life, which peaked at a disappointing #63 in the UK, but topped the Argentine and Brazilian charts.)

their closing paragraph:  "It's still difficult to decide who, exactly, these boxes are geared toward. Die-hard fans want everything included (which, for this box, would have meant not only Mustapha, Jealousy, and We Will Rock You, but also the instrumental and U.S. radio versions of Radio Ga Ga, as well as the instrumental remix of Machines (Or 'Back To Humans'). Casual fans would balk at the price and the relative obscurity of the B-sides, instead opting to pick up any number of existing compilation albums – or the then-forthcoming Absolute Greatest. So why Queen Productions had to pander to the masses, instead of offering die-hard fans anything worthwhile, is another one of those frustrating mysteries that no one has yet been able to explain satisfactorily. But oh, the abomination was far from complete..."

* single versions




This one was surprising as to its worldwide sales.  Then I read the details from ultimatequeen.uk:

"This album features Queen's 20 greatest tracks (?) and was available as a single CD, double CD, double CD book, and triple LP set. It was re-released in Germany in 2016 on CD and as a double white vinyl LP, in slightly different artwork, which was exclusive to the Tchibo website.

The double CD and book releases feature a second disc titled 'Absolute Narrative', lasting 42:06, which features commentary by Brian May and Roger Taylor about each track. For this, each track has been edited.

The book and LP editions included a unique code which could be used on the QueenOnline website to give access to online streams of 18 live performances, several of them exclusive to the release."

Always clever, those folks at Queen Productions, finding newer ways to milk that golden goose.  And it did manage to not include one of their three #1 hits ('Innuendo')

queenpedia.com review  https://queenpedia.com/index.php?title=The_Singles_Collection_-_Volume_3
"Trucking right through the disappointing Singles Collection series, Volume 3 is perhaps the most interesting of the bunch, because Queen started to wise up (a bit) and give fans some extra bang for their hard-earned buck" to start, but finishing with

"At the risk of sounding like a broken record, however, the opportunity for extended remixes should have been taken advantage of, as these particular single releases spawned some of the more interesting extended remixes, especially Hammer To Fall, Pain Is So Close To Pleasure, Friends Will Be Friends, Breakthru, and Scandal. And, as before, the lack of liner notes is just baffling. But, considering the pointlessness of the first two boxes, this one just barely ekes into the category of 'If You Have A Spare £40 Sitting Around And Need To Blow It On Something Then This Might Not Be A Complete Waste Of Money.'"

The set marks the first time that "Blurred Vision" and the single mix of "Pain Is So Close to Pleasure" have been made available on CD.  ‘Stealin’’ and ‘My Life Has Been Saved’ were originally available on the vinyl and CD singles, but were not included as bonuses on ‘The Miracle’ LP. 

Also, ‘Seven Seas of Rhye’ was the original B-side of ‘Friends Will Be Friends’.  A nice correction was made by using ‘Princes Of The Universe’. 

Again, all CDs come in their own sleves with original artwork.  And, yet again, this was another bloated offering. At least there was a one year gap after Volume 2 to save the money up for this unnecessary release.  But we're not quite done yet.......

********
‘Lost Opportunity’, the original non album B side of ‘I’m Going Slightly Mad’ was not used.   A nice touch to replace ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ and ‘Bicycle Race’, the original B sides of ‘Let Me Live’, with the live versions of WWRY/WATC from Wembley. 

Everyone was crying for the Rick Rubin version of WWRY to find its way onto something again  NOT 

And everyone wanted those Under Pressure versions. 

And, queenpedia.com didn't even bother giving this one a review.

2011

Queen announced that they were leaving EMI for Universal Music.  There was much excitement at the time with this announcement, with hopes of what might finally get unlocked and released from the vaults. 

What we would end up with throughout the year was the complete studio catalogue remastered and reissued, with each release containing a  bonus disc of various demos, alternate versions, and live tracks.  ‘You can’t please everyone’….but these reissues were generally incomplete or lacking on truly making the extra discs 'bonuses'.  Most could have simply added the bonus songs onto the original studio material to fit onto one disc.  This would have saved the buying public some money  Oh, well.

Oh, and the fleecing would still continue with yet additional unnecessary releases.

As is, New Year’s Day would kick the year off with the 'Greatest Hits I and II' releases.  The first five studio albums would be released in March, the following five on June 27th September 5th (of course)

Sadly (for me), ‘Live Killers’ was not reissued.  So, no officially released ‘polished’ live versions of ‘Somebody To Love’, ‘If You Can’t Beat Them’, ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’, and ‘It’s Late’ exist from that tour.  Pity.

‘Live At The Beeb’, the single album released by the Band of Joy off shoot company in 1989, was also not reissued.

From Queenpedia:  “With the news that Queen were jumping ship from EMI to Universal Music, fans immediately salivated over what bountiful treasures would finally be unearthed on future reissue programs. Universal were well-known for their attention to detail and completeness with other artists' reissues, and certainly the same would be held true with their latest acquisition. (Little did fans know that Universal all but begged Queen Productions for unlimited access, but were denied outright.) The first step in an aggressive 40th anniversary campaign was to entice new fans who were familiar only to Queen's greatest hits, and Deep Cuts: Volume One 1973-1976, compiled by Brian, Roger, and Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins, is a mostly successful insight into what lay beyond Bohemian Rhapsody and Killer Queen.

Naturally, it would be easy to quibble with the tracklisting, and each fan is going to have his or her own opinions on what should have been included – although the omissions of ‘White Queen (As It Began)’ and ‘You And I’ are downright inexcusable, and calling ‘Keep Yourself Alive’ a deep cut is utterly confounding – and perhaps some standalone edits of ‘Tenement Funster’, ‘Flick Of The Wrist’, and ‘Lily Of The Valley’ would have been more enticing. (The two unique edits, of ‘Ogre Battle’ and ‘The March Of The Black Queen’, are interesting, if inessential.) But for what it is, Deep Cuts: Volume One 1973-1976 is an attractive and well-constructed compilation that gave some hope to the fanbase that QPL was finally listening.”

************
A new and ‘complete’ ending for ‘The March Of The Black Queen’ was created for this issue.  Thanks to youtube, it did provide a nice way to complete my ‘Queen On Air’ version.  That said, this just continued the pile after pile of garbage being thrown out to the Stepfords to purchase.

I was very much looking forward to this release.  A real ‘orchestra’ replacing the synthesizers.  Sadly, some of the ‘oomph’ was lost, and there were points where Freddie’s vocals were lowered, which obviously took away some of the power of his performance.

We only purchased the one disc version.  Disc Two would be an absolute fantastic bonus for those who did not purchase ‘The Solo Collection’ box set in 2000.  Those demos are stunning, and the ‘Guide Me Home’ / ‘How Can I Go On’ alternate versions tug at my emotions more than anything of his that was released.

The instrumentals are ‘nice’…..but, when Freddie’s and Montserrat’s vocals are removed, they’re simply not going to be as good.

All in all, the effort is here, the thought behind it all is evident, and this release did provide a bang for your buck.

I never knew this existed until this year.  What the idea was behind its release, or its track listing, is anybody’s guess.  It says on ultimatequeen that it was a limited edition release, yet it charted and went Platinum?  No idea as to that as well.

The Miracle / Is This The World We Created? /  In The Lap Of The Gods.... Revisited /  Forever

 

There’s also an extended version of ‘Let Me In’ that was ruined by William Orbit available in the deluxe edition or as a single release.  It is available on youtube if you need to hear it (I don’t ever again).

And then, there’s this:
From the ‘Hot Space’ sessions, which then became a duet with Michael Jackson
There Must Be More To Life Than This  (Wm Orbit  mix), in which the Jackson estate did not give full control to Brian and Roger   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FrrzXH0exU

And then ……was it really necessary to do a one CD/double album release AND two disc / 4 LP ‘Deluxe Edition’?  Of course not, other than for money. And, you get 'too much of the mellow side of Queen' (per Roger).

You do get the three 'new' releases, two of which are absolutely worth the price.  There are also stand alone versions of ‘Lily Of The Valley’ and ‘Nevermore’, and ‘Play The Game’, minus the synth intro, which makes for a nice change.

Want a change of pace, and a slightly different version of ‘The Game’ LP?  Start it with the ‘It’s A Beautiful Day’ demo, and then use this version instead of the album version.

Oh, the cover art:  it's simple, quiet nice, and rather odd.  The drawings of Brian and Roger are from the  ‘A Day at the Races’ vinyl sleeve in ‘76, Freddie from the ‘Greatest Hits’ cover in ’81, and John seems a combination of 1980 and ??

[DragonAttack]

2015

All the studio albums were reissued on vinyl, taken from the 2011 remasters (GH I and II were released in 2016).  Most are currently available at queenonline …anywhere from $15-50. 

I’m sure the completists were either salivating or groaning.  Then again, for the younger folk or those who wanted to complete their collections, or just prefer vinyl, I guess this made sense.

and then, in time for the holidays, we have....

Again, now we’re talking!  Finally, the most bootlegged show of their career is officially released on audio and video.  Their live Christmas Eve '75 show which aired on BBC2.  The multitrack recording was found in 2009.  It took a few years, but it was soooo worth it.

Superb! (other than the cover)

This album was released as a single CD, double LP, CD+DVD set, and CD+Blu-ray set. It features the complete show, and was also simultaneously released on DVD and Blu-ray, losing two tracks. The CD, DVD and Blu-ray were all released together in a boxed set which also contains replica memorabilia from the concert, and a 12" single containing a soundcheck recording of 'Now I'm Here', which was the first time any Queen soundcheck had been officially released.

The set includes four single versions on CD for the first time - 'Living On My Own', 'Made In Heaven', 'The Golden Boy' and 'The Fallen Priest'. It also includes the 2000 Remixes of 'Time' and 'In My Defence' (in place of the original single version and the 1992 Remix which were actually released as singles) and a slight edit of 'I Can Hear Music'.

The set was available as either a 2CD set, with the above tracklisting, or a boxed set, which featured all 13 singles pressed onto 7" coloured vinyl discs (with two ‘Living On My Own’ remixes on one of the vinyls.

Those can be seen at
http://www.ultimatequeen.co.uk/  then Freddie Mercury, compilation albums, Messenger of the Gods for the artwork for all of the 7” vinyls.

It had been ten years, so I guess it was time to roll out another Freddie compilation, and make sure it’s released around what would have been his 70th birthday.  I would always include the LP or extended versions of ‘Barcelona’ on one of these.  As is, it’s a good collection.

Just don’t get me started as to the ridiculous thirteen vinyls!!!!

The multiple decades long-awaited release finally happens.  And, of course I’m going to complain. 

First, ‘The March of the Black Queen’ is missing, so the ‘Sessions’ is incomplete.  Even though it was simply played on a tape at the time, it should have been included.

The Golders Green performance is missing ‘See What A Fool I’ve Been’  (complete show is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKUCsM-uP5o )

Sessions 1-4 could have been on Disc One, Sessions 5-6 and the Golders Green performance on Disc Two……  and then the rest of the material on the six disc box set.

The complete Sao Paulo show   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec1sOcraou4  and
Mannheim  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUahFZ1lIhE&t=4233s .  A weird hodgepodge of selected songs.

And then, there’s three discs of interviews.  If that’s your thing, you’ll enjoy this.  I never bothered with the Freddie interviews from his 2000 box set until a couple of months ago.

The two disc set is the affordable way to go, along with downloading the complete Golders Green performance from youtube.
http://www.ultimatequeen.co.uk/  then 'live albums' 'on air' for art work from the vinyl box set, and which is terribly lacking on the 2 disc release.

Highlights mentioned in the prior posts:  all of them!   
But, seriously, both of the extended 'Son And Daughter' performances, 'White Queen' (with piano), 'Nevermore', 'Liar',  'See What A Fool I've Been', 'Doing Alright', Modern Times (Session 4), Spread Your Wings, We Will Rock You [fast], My Melancholy Blues, and........the rest of the songs!
