Didn't they previously do the same trick with some Innuendo tracks? ... that's the non-boxed Innuendo... You mean that 'Back to Tapes' event where fans could visit the studios and the engineers played Innuendo tracks fromt the original multitracks? Or... the killer 'The Show Must Go On' remix they did for the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' end credits (minus the horrible edit)

A couple of days ago it was announced that Justin Shirley-Smith will be attending the Freddie Mercury b-day party this year and "...will be bringing with him some multi-tracks from Queen’s 1973 debut album for fans to experience at the mixing desk in the Mountain Studios room." I'm going this year - probably the only year I can go for the time being - and so ready to spend so much time on this! Is anyone else going? Let me know 😊

For the event these songs below were brought and it was a great experience trying them out.

I’ll have to listen again for acoustic guitar on My Fairy King, I don’t think I ever noticed it before.

I remember they said the engineer Kevin would have brought the complete Queen I master (multitracks) is it true?

I suspect that each seperate track is a stereo track. Otherwise all drums on MFK and KYA would be in mono, which, they are not. Very interesting to see this. thanks for sharing!

These notes are for stereo stems submixed from original multitracks (16 or 24 tracks) especially for the even or for some modern remixing work on the song.

I wonder why Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy only has one stem for the entire drum set while every other song has the drums divided further.

The goal of the part-mixing is to enable "isolated" parts on the day, so is probably something of a thankless task. Therefore, having mixed down one set of drum tracks to a single stem, maybe someone thought "stuff that" when coming to the next track.
Or maybe GOFLB only had one mic on the drums.

A fair amount of work has clearly gone on at some point on Bo Rhap to remove everything that is on the master tape but not needed for the final mix AND to bounce it all down to instrument-specific stems. We know the BVs for a start are all over the place, and I think the lead vocal has some random drop ins in various tracks.
That work probably wasn't just done for the first time, but must have been a real effort.

As I already told earlier, these tracks are sub-mixed stems. In case of MFK, GOFLB all drums submixed in one stereo stem. KYA drums presented here as one stereo stem as well, as on Rock Tour game. But we know from stems off RockBand that this song presented there with more separated parts of drum kit such as kick drum, snare drum and toms/hat (overhead).

Yes, I'm aware that these stems don't represent the contents of the actual multitracks, but why the inconsistency? Why does every song have individual drum parts except GOFLB? Not genuinely asking, just a curiousity. It definitely doesn't have one mono mic on the drums, pretty easily audible on the Races mix. We know the BVs for a start are all over the place, and I think the lead vocal has some random drop ins in various tracks. On the multitrack, the vocal take used for the final song has no issues, but one of the alternate takes does.

I remember they said the engineer Kevin would have brought the complete Queen I master (multitracks) is it true? It's Justin Shirley-Smith (he was very nice and friendly!) and he didn't bring all of Queen I, just some, which I've shown. Yes, I'm aware that these stems don't represent the contents of the actual multitracks, but why the inconsistency? Why does every song have individual drum parts except GOFLB? MFK and Winter's Tale also only has one? But yeah on one hand GOFLB literally has two empty sliders (?) there, but also on the other hand the board only has ten of those so I've always had the thought that however they put which and which together could be somewhat arbitrary to some extent. But I'm not an expert idk. I'm going to Montreux next year, I might be able to do that I'm not quite sure it's an annual thing (but to be fair I haven't checked the specifics in 2022), they brought MFK etc to "celebrate" Queen I's anniversary. But I hope they do it again for you!

I'll either be there around June, July or August 2024, maybe a Queen II or Sheer Heart Attack Anniversary?

Justin Shirley Smith has been announced to take part at the FM Birthday Event as well, where he'll be playing stuff from Queen I. I'm fully expecting a box set now in October at this point, as the band haven't been that forthcoming in the past with playing outtakes in public since people starting taping them at conventions. How's that expectation working out?

(I speak from experience) I have to say I feel your pain because I was born and raised in Small Heath and lived there for 38 years so I can imagine how it must feel being on the other side of things. But yeah, it's a much easier life being a Villa fan especially right now (although Europe is going to be harder than everyone first thought).
