Live Killers is a double vinyl and compact disc live album by English rock band Queen. It was released on June 26, 1979.
It was recorded live during the European leg of Queen's ''Jazz'' world tour between January and March 1979. The album was self-produced by the band and was their first album to be mixed at their own studios, Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland. The Original Mastering was Done by George Marino
Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor revealed on the US radio show ''In the Studio with Redbeard'' (which spotlighted the making of 1980's ''The Game'') that the band was not happy with the album's final mix as the band mixed the album themselves.
Despite May and Taylor's unhappiness with the album, ''Live Killers'' hit #16 on the US Billboard Pop Albums charts and was certified Double Platinum in the US.
In the territories outside of the United States, Europe and Canada, Elektra Records re-released a shorter, edited version of the album in 1985 titled "Queen Live".
The 1994 issue that was released as part of the Digital Master Series by EMI was not improved as the quality was bad.
It was later remastered and restored in better quality by Justin Shirley Smith in 2001 - Wikipedia
