    What an absolutely incredible band. Hearing this album from the original pressing of vinyl changed my life. The dynamics on Bohemian Rhapsody get lost in the digital transfers.

      I’d love to get an original pressing to hear it. I’ll be looking out for one!

      And the nasty compression of radio stations didn't do anything flattering for it either.

    Super happy to see that you uploaded this! Loved the video and I am very glad you included the anecdote of Roger locking himself in the cupboard as I always find it quite funny. For anyone wondering what 12-string acoustic Brian plays on 39 it is an Ovation Pacemaker 1615 12-string.

    I absolutely adore your presentation of the mixing and general creation of these great, classic albums! Though this was the video that got me to subscribe, I’ve been keeping up with your past uploads and continue to be impressed! As a passionate classic rock enthusiast and novice producer myself, these are the kind of stories and details I love hearing about and you deliver every time! Keep up the excellent work, and I can’t wait to see which album you do next! 🎸

    The Prophet song is still my all time favourite Queen song. Listen to it on headphones to get the full effect of those multi track vocals. The whole album is just fantastic.

    • @mixingmasteringonline

      It sure is! The vocals alone are enough, just mind blowing really.
