QRP is doing some stuff for Noble records so that might be changing slowly.

Playing in Toronto any time soon?
Okay so I just grabbed the OG 1975 JP pressing of Queen "A Night at the Opera" and good lord this thing sounds good. Finally no veil over everything. I know it's a phone recording but you can get the idea...

Not a fan of the VMP pressing?
Not really no. I find it's pretty veiled and digital sounding, but most recent versions I've heard have been.

I am not a huge fan of Queen so I think I have only spun my VMP coy like twice but it didn’t jump out at me as particularly good or bad. Cool that the Japan copies are bangers though. Did it come with an Obi?
I think there are issues with the masters currently in use of their stuff in the digital domain too. I ended up buying used CD copies from the late 80s/early 90s of their first five albums as well.
They sound pretty nice, dynamic and not compressed unlike a lot a later cd remasters of stuff.
This copy was NM/NM no Obi from a store I trust so in this case I decided to forgo it. But the jacket looks like it came off the production line yesterday, it's wild. I'm not sure this thing has never been played. There was a little bit of loose vinyl in the spindle hole that went right across it. If it had been played it would have been knocked loose. Pretty nuts for a record older than me.

Do Canadiens get into March Madness?
Yeah man, I used to broadcast it nationally here, we did like 12 hour broadcasts of every single game, it was nuts.

Whats the general opinion of the original UK pressings of Queen albums?
I bought most of them at carboot sales over a decade ago when they used to sell for 50p each. I kept upgrading until I had a set that I was happy with and they all sound decent, but interested to hear whether the consensus is that certain other pressings sound better.

I haven't researched it much but I thought the OG UKs were some of the best pressings for them. I think...
Ok so I got the new TimTom cut of Mezzanine, I haven't directly compared it yet to the 2013 but just on memory from playing the 2013 a few days ago it does seem slightly improved. Voices seem to have a bit more extension to them. Entire thing seems to have a bit more stage/detail. It certainly isn't night and day and without a direct comparison I could just be making this up. Definitely seems better but I don't think it warrants replacing the 2013 if you've got a clean copy.

And Teardrop was the theme from House. Just sayin…
They have different themes depending on rights issues. Last time I binged the series on whatever platform had it, I heard all 3 versions.
