Queen quandry

It is true that a more revealing system will expose the
limitations of the recording more vividly. I've found, however, that using good 'tweeks' can do much to restore
interest in CDs. You might want to try some of the Mapleshade products. These have worked best in my system.

Here's what was compared:
The US (Hollywood) cd's: All titles below
On UK cd: "I", "II", "Sheer Heart..", "A Night..", "A Day.."
On Jap mini-lp fmt cd: "I", "II", "Sheer Heart ..", "Jazz"
On mfsl gold: "A Night..", "A Day..", "News..", "The Game"
The DCC gold "A Night At The Opera".
And, a good friend of mine brought the Japan 25th anniv. box set.

The worst were the US (Hollywood) pressings. Some of the mixes weren't accurate even. Although the UK disc's had tape hiss Galore, they were very better musically.

The Jap mini-lp fmt cd's were the best sound quality wise but even they have a few mix inaccuracies. The Japan 25th box set comes really close.

The DCC and mfsl's had accurate mixes and the best sound stage but were 2nd for sound quality. (They are a little rounded and warm. Very little).

Four of us listened. (Two guys and two girls).

Thanks for the info. Imin2u, where can I find the Japanese releases?

I really wonder sometimes on these forums whether people actually read anything that's posted before them.
Thanks to Imin2u for at least putting things into the original questioners context.
I would imagine the Japanese 25th anniversary discs are tricky to pick up now as I believe they were limited edition-I have them all from Queen to Jazz.

Well, I lucked into the 25th anniversary Queen boxed set at the Virgin megastore in Chicago. Thanks to all who pointed me in the rigth direction.
