See What A Fool I've Been (Live At The Rainbow, London / March 1974) (5:03) Звук: Теперь мы наконец-то услышим все эти безумные наслоения вокала Фредди и гитарные оркестровки Брайана Мэя без каши. Side White / Side Black: Концепция белой и черной стороны в Hi-Res — это просто космос. «The March of the Black Queen» в таком качестве должна просто сносить голову. Бокс-сет: 3 с лишним часа материала — это настоящий рай для коллекционера. EN: This is the "Holy Grail" for Queen fans. Queen II has always been their heaviest and darkest record, but the original '74 mix was notoriously "muddy." The fact that Shirley-Smith's team did a full remix is a historic milestone. The Sound: Finally, we get to hear Freddie’s insane vocal layers and Brian May’s guitar orchestrations with crystal clarity. No more sonic clutter. Side White / Side Black: The conceptual flow of this album in Hi-Res is otherworldly. "The March of the Black Queen" is bound to be a mind-blowing experience in this quality. The Boxset: Over 3 hours of content is a pure collector’s dream. It’s the definitive version of their first true masterpiece.
