"Bohemian Rhapsody" Original Film Soundtrack featuring previously unavailable QUEEN performances at Live Aid and new versions of band classics.<br/><br/>For the first time ever audio tracks from Queen's legendary performance at Live Aid are being released as part of the soundtrack album to "Bohemian Rhapsody", 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises' forthcoming feature film celebrating the band, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Recorded at the historic Wembley concert in July 1985, these Live Aid songs are among the rare gems and unheard versions from the band's rich catalogue.<br/><br/>Alongside the show-stopping Live Aid performances of Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, Hammer To Fall and We Are The Champions, the album features other rare live tracks spanning Queen's entire career, new versions of old favourites, and a choice selection of the band's finest studio recordings. Among them are some of Queen's biggest hits, including eleven all-time anthems that reached Number One around the world. <br/><br/>"Bohemian Rhapsody" is scheduled to have its World Premiere in the UK on 23 October before opening across the world in early November. It stars Rami Malek as Freddie, Gwilym Lee as Brian May, Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor, Joe Mazzello as John Deacon, and Lucy Boynton as Freddie's lifelong companion Mary Austin. <br/><br/>Queen's cinematic music has proved irresistible to filmmakers over the years, featuring in numerous big screen epics. Their 1986 album "A Kind of Magic" was based on six songs composed for the swashbuckling time-travel adventure "Highlander" including such band classics as A Kind of Magic and Who Wants To Live Forever. But "Bohemian Rhapsody" will be only the band's second ever full original soundtrack album release, following on from the classic "Flash Gordon" in 1980.<br/><br/>The 22 songs on the soundtrack were produced by Brian May and Roger Taylor, with engineering and co-production by long-time Queen studio collaborators Justin Shirley-Smith, Kris Fredriksson and Joshua J Macrae, and mastering by Adam Ayan and Bob Ludwig. <br/><br/>The key task for the team behind the "Bohemian Rhapsody" soundtrack was sourcing the most suitable versions of the band's songs, especially live performances, to fit the screenplay's career-spanning narrative. Their brief was not merely to produce a greatest hits playlist package but a soundtrack album to stand on its own merits, underscoring key moments in the screenplay. May, Taylor, and their co-producers worked with the filmmakers to find the best versions of each track to heighten the dramatic power of each scene.<br/><br/>Ensuring that listeners are in no doubt they are listening to a soundtrack album, Brian came up with the inspired idea that Queen should record their own arrangement of the famous 20th Century Fox Fanfare. Featuring May's famous multi-layered guitars and Roger Taylor's distinctive percussion, this revamped track provides a suitably flamboyant opening fanfare to both film and album. <br/><br/>Unlike Queen's soundtrack to "Flash Gordon", no spoken dialogue from "Bohemian Rhapsody" is included on this new album. And while the film uses only parts from songs and performances, the soundtrack features the full-length versions of some of the band's best-loved studio and live recordings.<br/><br/>The five tracks from Queen's 21-minute performance at Live Aid on 13 July 1985 have never been released in audio form before. They only ever featured on video as a special extra on the DVD/BluRay release of "Queen Rock Montreal", which features the Montreal Forum shows of November 1981. The Live Aid audio is exclusive to this new soundtrack album.<br/><br/>Other tracks on the soundtrack have been sourced from different decades and even different continents. Fat Bottomed Girls comes from the Paris shows in 1979, part of the "Jazz" world tour and has never been released before. Now I'm Here was recorded at the band's 1975 Christmas Eve show at London's Hammersmith Odeon. And the history making duet between Freddie and Brian on Love of My Life comes from the Rock in Rio festival of January 1985 when 300,000 Brazilians sang along. Previously this track was only available to fans on the video releases of this performance.<br/><br/>For the studio recordings on the album, Queen had the luxury of being able to work with the Bob Ludwig remastered tracks from 2011, widely considered the best and most definitive versions. <br/><br/>The three remaining tracks on the soundtrack will be fresh to Queen fans, old and new. We Will Rock You starts out as the studio version, then seamlessly blends into a live performance with audience participation. This has been created especially for the film. Don't Stop Me Now features Brian's newly recorded guitar parts and is much closer to how the band plays the track live today. <br/><br/>Doing All Right was originally recorded by Smile, the predecessor band to Queen that featured Brian and Roger with vocalist Tim Staffell. When Tim later left, Roger and Brian would join forces with Freddie to form Queen. Freddie's interpretation of the song featured on the first Queen album. To recreate the original Smile version, Brian and Roger re-united with Staffell at Abbey Road Studios to re-record Doing All Right for the "Bohemian Rhapsody" soundtrack. This session which featured Roger, Tim and Brian all singing lead vocals took place almost 50 years after the original Smile recording.<br/><br/>With record sales estimated at 300 million and counting, Queen remain evergreen rock favourites whose glorious catalogue of songs continues to thrill fans of all ages across the globe. Despite the loss of Freddie in 1991, their following has continued to grow over the decades, boosted by a new wave of fans who first discovered the band's music through their hugely successful stage show "We Will Rock You" or via hit TV shows like "Glee", "American Idol" and "The X-Factor".<br/><br/>The "Bohemian Rhapsody" film and its original soundtrack album are certain to introduce Queen to a new generation of listeners, and remind existing fans just how magnificent the band was in its prime. Queen remain spectacular performers today, both live and in the studio, their songs having comfortably stood the test of time. After almost 50 years together, Queen continue to be one of the most exciting and beloved bands in rock history.

The Beatles andra album tillhör bandets största klassiker - inte minst på grund av det svartvita gruppfotot på omslaget. Liksom på debutalbumet är sex av de 14 spåren covers, men sedan debuten spelades in bara lite drygt ett halvår tidigare har medlemmarna hunnit växa i studion och inspelningarna är både tajtare och mer självsäkra. Bland de egna kompositionerna märks All My Loving och den ursprungligen till The Rolling Stones donerade I Wanna Be Your Man. Bland covernumren glänser Chuck Berrys Roll Over Beethoven, Smokey Robinsons The Miracles-hit You Really Got A Hold On Me och den fantastiska versionen av Money. - Claes Olson<br/><br/>Alla Beatles studioalbum har för första gången har remastrats digitalt. Varje album behåller sin ursprungliga design, och har kompletterats med unika bilder och utökade CD-häften med nyskrivna kommentarer. Under en begränsad period kommer varje CD också att innehålla en kort dokumentärfilm om respektive album. <br/><br/>Albumen har remastrats under en fyraårsperiod av ett hängivet team på EMI's Abbey Road Studios i London. Med hjälp av den allra modernaste tekniken, kompletterad med den ursprungliga studioutrustningen från sextiotalet, har teamet varit noggranna med att behålla äktheten och integriteten i de ursprungliga analoga inspelningarna. Resultatet av denna omsorgsfulla process är den bästa ljudåtergivningen av albumen sedan de releasades för första gången.<br/><br/>Releaserna inkluderar alla 12 Beatlesalbumen i stereo, med låtordning och utseende som de ursprungligen releasades i England och i Sverige, samt 'Magical Mystery Tour', som har varit en del av The Beatles albumkatalog allt sedan CD-skivorna först releasades 1987. Dessutom är nu 'Past Masters Vol I och II' sammanslagna till en dubbel-CD, vilket gör att det totalt är 14 album som releasas, varav två är dubbel-CD. Detta är första gången som de första fyra Beatlesalbumen releasas i stereo i sin helhet på CD. Dessa 14 album, tillsammans med en DVD som innehåller de korta dokumentärerna om varje album, finns också tillsammans i en stereobox.<br/><br/>I varje CD-häfte ingår detaljerade inspelningsdetaljer och en historisk tillbakablick på respektive album. Med undantag av 'Past Masters', så innehåller varje album QuickTime-filer med nyproducerade minidokumentärer om respektive inspelning, regisserade av Bob Smeaton. Dokumentärerna innehåller arkivfilmer, unika bilder och aldrig tidigare publicerat småprat i studion mellan tagningarna, vilket ger en unik och mycket personlig insyn i studioatmosfären.<br/><br/><center><object width="500" height="305"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iP0t6u2FZyw&hl=sv&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iP0t6u2FZyw&hl=sv&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="305"></embed></object></center><br/><center><object width="500" height="305"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/osj6ew4vKNE&hl=sv_SE&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/osj6ew4vKNE&hl=sv_SE&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="305"></embed></object></center>

När första laddningen blir en fullträff kan man ju alltid ladda om... Metallica hade spelat in så mycket låtar inför "Load" att det även räckte till "Re-Load". Det visade sig att det inte handlade om låtar som inte var tillräckligt bra för att hamna på den första - "Re-Load" är faktiskt snäppet bättre.
