      So stupid that they keep makin Queen compilations on vinyl without “Tie your Mother Down”

        Sound quality is not as good as I expected. It didn't feel like listening to a good analog recording (possibly half speed-digitally remastered, ). The difference in quality between tracks and records is obvious. The sound quality of some tracks is satisfactory, while others are very poor.

        Despite all this, it is a box set that Queen fans should add to their archives.

          I bet that it is digitally mastered to vinyl? Anyone know for sure?

            Has anyone noticed distortion in the last bars of the song Who Want To Live Forever (F4)? In the rest of the sides, I haven´t noticed any incidence, it sounds very good. I am using a Revox B790 Linatrack with an ELAC ESG-796 capsule.

                Received mine from Amazon UK, all records cleaned using Pro-ject VC-E prior to playing and sleeved in Mofi’s. Playing on the Rega P6 + Ania-Pro cart, my findings :

                record 1, sounds good and clean.
                record 2, C4 noisy on vocals only.
                record 3, F4 noisy only.
                record 4
                record 5
                record 6

                Will update when I listen to the others 👍

                  Guys, if you live in France or Switzerland, the retailer fnac has it on sale: the 6 LP box costs 49 bucks, free shipping (to the mentioned countries). In stock. Ordered my copy yesterday (so I haven't received it yet, will update you).

                    Any comments on SQ? Soundstage? Does it sound compressed? Thanks!

                      I have many issues.
                      LP 3 side A has a lot of distorsion
                      LP 4 sound slower than other LP
                      LP 5 Side A has a lot os distorsion
                      Is a very expensive product to have so many issues.
                      Waht about yours??
