Flat and lifeless they say.. lol. Stfu. The pressing sounds glorious. Dynamic, dead silent. Highly recommended.

I got the LTD red GH but missed out on this but then I got The Platinum Collection vinyl and all the colours you could ask for! Ooh La La! -

OK: I do realise that we want it all (and we want it now) but frankly, I don’t understand all the whingeing about this mastering. I’m finding it as dynamic as it could possibly be (considering the original recording eq and mixing choices of the individual tracks themselves) and hey: it’s no crime to tweak the treble or the bass, people… that’s what the knobs on your amp are there for.
Seriously - it sounds fine on my system; and much better than what I expected, considering what’s been written here so far.
I agree that the (Optimal) pressing is immaculate - really quiet, dead flat vinyl, and the transparent blue looks great, as does the packaging… although polyvinyl sleeves for the discs themselves would’ve been nice… -
Not related to this version but i've only just noticed how silly the track listing is. Why isn't One Vision at the start? Why is it stuck at the end after the Show Must Go On? Makes no sense.
I know there have been many Queen comps but i'd just quite like a really solid 4LP set of the best singles and album tracks. Sure you're going to tell me this exists.
Shame this pressing is lifeless, are there any good versions? -
Kind disappointed with this reissue, no clicks no pops but no dynamic, it's flat and lifeless. I was hoping we get a good repress this time, but it's again just quantity over quality... lp and cover look nice but that's all -
Where exactly is this available from? A cursory look on the interweb shows nothing but ebay scalpers...
