QUEEN
Rare Cuts Vol 4-6 [Master Stroke, 3CD of 6]
Sessions, outtakes and demos.

“Many years ago there was a thriving Queen market for silver discs with labels such as Gypsy Eye, Queen Digital Archives and Wardour pumping out many interesting titles each month. These days Wardour produce a couple of titles per year (and not very good ones at that) and both Gypsy Eye and QDA are gone leaving Tarantura, trolling the vast Mr Peach tape archive, as the sole provider of great Queen silver titles. Rare Cuts Vol. 1-6 is the releases of a new Queen-dedicated label Master Stroke. Like QDA a decade ago, their initial efforts focus upon collecting upgrades of very common material and mixing up with much more rare tracks.” All six volumes sourced from a Taiwan pressing. Released through 2011 to 2012.
