With the SR1a you must have heard the very sudden and rough cut in track 3 at 4.59! I guess at the time the mixing/mastering engineer thought he (or she) could get away with it...

The title track is my all time favorite Queen song, loved that album growing up.  I created a lot of scratch marks on that vinyl.

I'm on vacation in Hawaii so will be listening to little except the musicians at the luau we're going to tonight.

 

But lately I've been on a serious Krautrock trip, esp. the more ambient 'spiritual' side of things, and one can't do much better than Popol Vuh IMO. Perhaps what the forum needs right now for some chill out. Timeless and essential.

How's the sound quality?

I've listened to this collection a lot since it came out, and have found the sound quality excellent.  I think Resonance Records did a top-drawer job on this one.  I have the 16/44.1 kHz download version ('smatter of fact, I'm listening to "Don't Let That Moon Get Away" from 1939 right now).  Dynamic Range  (DR) on the tracks according to JRMC ranges from 9 to 17. 

 

It doesn't sound like it was recorded yesterday, but it sure sounds good to me.   I've found it at least as good as the sound quality I've heard on tracks from the same era on the Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: Complete RCA Recordings.  

 

And, oh, yes... the music is fantastic!

 

Hope that helps!
