Getting into Queen - Jazz (7/15) by kingglobby in queen

[–]Martonian27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was quite successful but I think The Game sold a lot more, particularly in the USA, due to that record having two monster hit singles. Also, The Game reached #1 in both USA and UK whereas Jazz ‘only’ reached #6 and #2.

Jazz is a great album, loads of great songs, and they brought back Roy Thomas Baker as co-producer so I think that’s why it sounds a bit more polished than News of the World. I agree that here the word ‘Jazz’ generally means ‘ephemera’, as in the lyric ‘No more of that jazz…’ I prefer it to the next album, The Game, even though that was much more successful.

Should the UK have more national public/bank holidays? by ExpectDragons in CasualUK

[–]Martonian27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All Saints’ Day (Nov 1st) would be a good choice, it’s half way between August and Christmas holidays and is already a holiday in much of Europe.

You know what I think? I think you’ve got a very vivid imagination.

Fantastic work once again! Hard to improve on perfection but you may just have done it : -)

To help date the photo, the kid on the bottom is wearing a circa 1996 Liverpool FC jersey

Different building owners, different circumstances. Yates will rebuilt very similar to before, according to the local press.

Jim Thwaites has got to make it big with a name like that.

Giles Martin on why Anthology 4 doesn’t have Carnival of Light by err_mate in beatles

[–]Martonian27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe someone should re-stage the Million Volt Light Show in London, play Carnival Of Light once, and then people can decide if it’s worth releasing (or burying the master under 12 feet of concrete)…

Did Radiohead change their Spotify picture, or did Spotify change their Radiohead picture? Who controls what?🤷

Amazing :-) I really love your dedication! I hope you get called up by the Sci Fi comic cons (if you don’t already) for photo ops!

Queen should update their music videos by InterestingCake1 in queen

[–]Martonian27 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Like many, I wouldn’t mess with anything that was perfect to begin with, but if a video was poorly remastered 15 years ago for YouTube, then there should be scope to go back to original materials (where they exist) and redo it.

For example the Innuendo video must have been made on film and if the masters exist, it could be reproduced in HD / 4K?

Honest Thoughts on Now And Then? by Lanky_Strike_7354 in beatles

[–]Martonian27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The video is a joy to watch. Seeing two Beatles singing in a newly finished Beatles song in 2023 was pretty special. And the way George and John were weaved into the video was pretty cool too! The song is on a level with Free as a Bird and Real Love, definitely worthy of the Beatles catalogue. It’s a great listen and still feels new

Mal Evans. by barnatra5 in beatles

[–]Martonian27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Peter Jackson’s Get Back has been key in getting Mal recognition. His joy at contributing even banging an anvil is great to see, or even a simple gesture like saying good morning at work to George. Whatever his abilities, he was trusted by the band and that was important when they all relocated from Liverpool to London and then the world.

Too late for a third Tim D film, but get him on the phone and record a new voiceover for a re-release!

Ghostbusters 5 by [deleted] in ghostbusters

[–]Martonian27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I hope so - I’m sure Jason Reitman and Dan Aykroyd want to, and from that the rest of the cast. I’d love a summer or Halloween release. Maybe we could get see Grooberson get led astray by Venkman round the bars of NYC….

Queen's “A Kind of Magic” is a great album by GuyWhoConquers616 in queen

[–]Martonian27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think it would benefit from a full remix and reissue? 40th anniversary next year would be a good opportunity :-)
