Queen - Mad The Swine [2024 Restoration]

We made it to the anniversary!!! 🥳 Welcome back to the 2024 Restoration project, and Happy 51st to Queen's first album 🎉

There's a lot to cover regarding this installment, so head over to the comparisons vid if you'd like to know everything that went into this one:

But for right now, if you caught our Restorations for Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack, your expectations for this one are likely sky high! I better let you know ahead of time that, given the limitations of the mixes and such, the improvements for this album are no where near as drastic I'm afraid 🤷‍♂️ This in addition to the fact that the existing releases were already not too shabby. The original UK vinyl release wasn't plagued with compression like the entirety of Queen II and parts of SHA, so this will be a much more honest reflection of how that original release sounded (which is the point of the project anyway)! BUT, regardless, thanks to the fresher transfers, certain parts of tracks without a doubt sound slightly cleaner on the 2024 Restoration 🙂
