Queen: Rarities & Collectables via YouTube

A new episode in the Going Grey series, Paul Rigby looks at rarities and collectables for Queen
There’s a thriving music industry out there that deals in releases that sail close to the wind, in legal terms, they’re known as ‘grey’ releases.

question on speaker cables been told conflicting answers that debate the other, is their an optimum length you should not supersede for the best sound or does it not matter too much ?
Hi John – short is good but practicalities demand that length is balanced with life’s demans 🙂 So interconnects are fine at 1m up to 2m, say? Speaker cables are great at 2m up to around 3m? Balanced cables can be longer though but not all hifi provides connections for balanced cables.
Thanks very much Paul indeed
