I'd rather listen to a dentist's drill inside my mouth than Live Killers. I know I'm in the minority, but there's something incredibly grating about the mix to my ears. Every few. years I TRY to give it another chance, and just can't.
On topic - I love seeing Cool Cat get its due. Not my favourite Hot Space track, but it's enjoyable and I love the viral life that social media has given it!

It may be because the speed is off, Tie Your Mother Down and Keep Yourself Alive are almost a whole semitone sharp. There used to be a speed correction on YouTube, I think QPL must've struck it down or something

Pre-orders are up now on Amazon. Still no further details on the release further to what has been said on this thread, but I went a head and pre-ordered it anyways.

This is a question for US forum members: I have pre-ordered it on Amazon and Prime delivery date (to New York) is set to monday 9th. Despite this being the delivery date, does Amazon usually delivers on the release date or during the weekends? I ask because I am also pre-ordering the Ringo Starr's new EP that is being released on friday 13th, but I am doing checkout in Boston early on monday 16th and I was hoping that it would deliver on the same release date or at least during the weekend. Perhaps I should try Target Boston on the same day of the release, but I doubt that it will make it. Thanks!

While I completely understand your excitement, and consequential desire to have this precious on your doorstep at the earliest opportunity, you could just play Hot Space that weekend...

While I completely understand your excitement, and consequential desire to have this precious on your doorstep at the earliest opportunity, you could just play Hot Space that weekend... My excitement is actually directed towards the bizarre item rather than its content. Besides, I want to know if Amazon delivers during the actual day of release (ie. shipping it a day or two before its release date), because I will happen to be in town by then and want to use the opportunity of getting the item directly at the hotel instead of having to order it online and have it mailed to my country. Having in my hands an item during the actual day of release is completely unusual in my country so I want to enjoy that experience. Hope I have made my point clear. Thanks!

My 2011 remaster hasn't been out of its box! I think I probably played Disc 2 once.

For shame all you Hot Space haters!! ;-) it's not hate (on my part). it's complete indifference. had HS been released by any other band I would never have bought it. and that's the point, really. the fact that Queen released it makes it more turdsome for me personally. it creates bemusement: how can a band that produced II, Opera, Races & NoTW also produce this? it's like The Goose That Laid The Golden Eggs suddenly shitting out actual turds. It's not just a HS thing for me, I also group Works and AKoM in there too.

But I heard a rumour that they were sending EVERY SINGLE COPY to YOUR houses and were going to make you EAT THEM!!!!! point of order: not hatred, just indifference. if HS was any other artist at all I know I'd have never bought and listened to it. glad to have helped in any small way possible. btw - the vinyl will have more nutritional than musical value, and those that don't get eaten could be used as dinner plates
