** 17/09/2024 - Hi. After being down for most of this year, we are making this episode available again. Enjoy ** Recording issues. Lost audio. Disagreements. Re-recording. Editing problems. No, not stories from Queen’s recording of Hot Space, but from the production of this podcast episode! However, out of adversity comes our long awaited Queen podcast with the guys from In The Lap of the Pods. The scenario? What if Queen didn’t release Hot Space (1982) & The Works (1984). Instead, releasing one under 50 minute album in 1984 using the tracks recorded during 81 - 84. What would make the cut? That’s the task Stephen, Paul, Joe & Paul have given themselves whilst critiquing each song along the way. They will rock you! Like the podcast?
