Queen any one ???


I like this stuff and listened to it since I was a kid. now 38 and its still cool.

What I would like to know is; how to find the best recorded or best sounding cd's and can a person get all of the old recordings. How is the sound quality of the box sets? and are there any inport cd's or dvds out there?

Finally I am curious of what speakers and system you use, I think some of these cd's are pretty demanding of a system so what rocks you? I have had a hard time of finding speakers that can handle this music.

This was one of the greatest and classiest of live loud rock bands of the 70's any thoughts?

I have A Night at the Opera on DCC gold disc and its sonic are superior to the standard CD how ever I believe there is another release that is even another step towards greatness- overall I agree that it is a demanding rock CD- it used to beat my avalons up but my maggies seem to be able to hack it. To the best of my knowledge all of the Queen gold disc's are no longer being produced- so if you are to find one GET IT!
didn't use synths until very late in the game (no pun intended)

I have a MFSL A Night at the Opera, which an ULTRA Queen fan know raved over when he heard it. It has seen no more than ten plays and has incredible detail especially when played LOUD.

maybe the digital loss noted earlier is similar to the no synths that Queen had, yes they recognized digitals pitfalls way back then before CD, Imagine!
The gold discs are sonically superior than the regular CDs. I love Live Killers, but it was recorded so poorly, I don't listen to it very often but Freddie's talent still comes through. What a voice he had! Add Killer Queen, Jazz and News of the World to my faves along with A Night at the Opera & A day at the Races.

There is a 3-CD "Platinum Collection"(basically greatest Hits 1,2, and 3) coming soon. If it has undergone the latest remastering techniques, it will be sweet. The DCC "Night @ The Opera" is "OK" (worth the $25), and the MoFi "News Of The World" is "acceptable", (but not deserving of a $100 price tag).
System: Cary 300 SEI, Cary CD-306, Triangle Celius.
