The wallyworld by us just got a few of the new Queen remasters in I will only choose one of four which are Queen, QueenII, Sheer Heart Attack, or Day At The Races. I'am leaning strongly towards Shear Heart Attack, I wish I could buy all four but will settle with one for right now. Suggestions fellow Polk Fans?

    If you are asking which album do I suggest, I would say Queen II. Best Queen album there is IMO. If you are asking which remaster sounds best, can't help you there. I have not heard the new remasters.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I love them all by Sheer Heart Attack has always been my fav, however I could see Queen I benefitting most from remastering if it's done right.

    I could not settle for just one of these 2011 Queen Remasters, I ended up getting Queen II, and Sheer Heart Attack They sound great and the extras are put on a second Cd and the booklet explains the extras when they were recorded and original artwork is included I think I will have to get them all up to News Of The World, after that it was downhill for these guys.

    Get "Night at the Opera" or "Day at the Races" on MFSL vinyl. There ain't anything better.

    Well I needed charcol lighter fluid went back to wallyworld and noticed that most of the remasters were gone so I figured since they still had a copy of the first Queen I might as well get it before its gone, put in the cart wait a minute only one copy of Day at the Races put that in cart also I 'am the proud owner of four new 2011 Queen Remasters did not get Night At The Opera as I have the 30th anniversary edition and the LP, they only released the first 5 this month , next month comes the next five I will only get News Of The World, then my 2011 Remasters will be complete, I think my Zepplin remasters will have some competition for the next few weeks. These remasters have done the first few Queen recordings some justice, can Brian May shred or what?

    on SHM I ordered ( about a month ago pre order) Night at the Opera, News of the world, and The Game. I believe they have type of best of if you cannot decide on what one to get.
