2. My sitting room and office at home is FILLED with Queen CDs, LPs, 7" and 12" singles, CDs, books, mags, programs, tour passes, posters, t-shirts, promo items, books, badges, videos, cassettes, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, BUT STILL there is never enough room, so I've also filled my attic and garage area.

Isn't it all re-releases and compilations and toothbrushes, though?
Who would want all of that crap?[/QUOTE]
So Greg must have absolutely pristine oral hygiene.
What are you planning on doing with all those toothbrushes, Greg? That's what I wanna know. Screw the DVD releases and box sets, how many toothbrushes do you HAVE to have until it's enough?[/QUOTE]
This is rude and filthy talk.

Sorry, but this is excessively and whole-heartedly boring. Would anyone else bother to reply to this??? And it's not exactly a friendly tone, is it Mrs Pittrek!!!!! [/QUOTE]
1) I'm still a mr., I wasn't on the operation yet :-)
2) Boring ? Maybe. But what makes you think I was expecting an answer ? It was a simple message - most of the fans want new music, audio or video, simply something they haven't heard or seen yet.
3) Friendly tone - sorry if you feel it that way. Please read my last line again - my complaints were not directed to your person, but to your employers

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]DARREN1977 wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Pittrek, you are spot on mate. Greg will not answer your questions because he probably does not know the answers.
If the band were interested in their fans they would be sending out archive release updates and what projects they are working on etc., but no we have the new tour/album/dvd/tootbrush maybe to look forward to.
I guess a book of all those different Queen releated items would be nice, but i would prefer if the band concentrated their energies on concert dvd's and the elusive box sets which are going on as long as the Chinese Democracy album.
I have been a fan of the band for over 20 years and i have collected a huge number of singles/lps/ etc., but i would love to hear and watch the unreleased stuff and a lot of the concerts from the seventies.
I guess most of us will have to rely on Youtube and Dave R Fullers page for more rare tracks.
Fair enough they would probably need a huge team of people to work on all the proposed ideas they have, but if they could only let us know what they intend to release next, would be great.

DARREN1977, I have clashed with you before. You are just a confrontational person looking for an argument. You have little Queen knowledge and an annoying way about you, which I know has irritated OTHER QZ-ers too... who also find you boring and tedious.
You would agree with anyone, if it meant disagreeing with me. You'd tell Osama Bin Laden he was "spot on" too, because you can't think for yourself. You must be be so very dull in life.
"If the band were interested in their fans".......... So VERY boring and tedious, and childish, as you always are.
"I guess a book of all those different Queen releated items would be nice, but i would prefer if the band concentrated their energies on"......... so UTTERLY predictable in every respect, Darren, as usual. DO YOUR OWN THINKING. SOMETHING ORIGINAL PLEASE. Can you do 'original'?
Jesus, you're tedious!!

Greg, you must be really bored, but you're funny :)
If you look in any UK record shop, it appears there is a lack of Queen product - in print. Music wise - all there is is the back catalogue that hasn't been updated since 1994 and the 2 recent live albums. And instead of a a massive boxset, which would seem to be more about packaging than music, wouldn't it be better to re-release the albums with a bonus disc each of bonus material? Is creating new stereo mixes of all the albums (like The Doors have recently done) so they sound as good as possible on CD a possibility?
Hi Greg, hope you are doing all right. Just my 2 cents and a question here.
First of all, I am with the vast majority that would like new live Audio/Video releases from the 70's.
A scary thought went into my head some time ago. With the band wanting to release their live videos with the best audio/video quality possible (which is great), I imagine they would prefer to re-release gigs like Montreal or Budapest on BluRay or whatever new format comes before releasing other concerts.
This scares me because this means concerts like Earl's Court 77 and Hammersmith 79 will NEVER be released because the recording quality is less than perfect.
Also, I am interested in knowing if you have worked on a live 70's set for Queen that has been shelved. If that's the case, which era?
Without breaking your confidentiality clauses, can you provide some insight (vague references) into other projects you would like to push ahead or do you usually just compile specifically what they ask you to for future releases?
Sorry if this is a bit confusing. Your response will be greatly appreciated.

No, good sir, you simply avoided the question/point, just as you have with this thread that you start.
You say there's all kinds of QUEEN PRODUCT out there, so much that you can't have it all! (Where would you put it? -Steven Wright)
Who Wants It All? Yes, Freddie, but certainly not me. In fact, if you took a poll of queenzoners as to what they would rather have:
A) A new vinyl release called "Best Shots - 15 Golden Greats" featuring album releases
B) A 10" John Deacon action figure with 3 different basses.
C) A French CD Single of Seaside Rendezvous
D) Budapest DVD
I think MOST would take D.
Most likely to select "A":
Greg Brooks, Brian May, Sir GH, etc.
Most likely to select "B":
Zebonka. And then he'd quickly desicrate it.
Most likely to select "C":
Treasure Moment, Andreas_Mercury, Flopamajawee... proving once again, you can't trust the French.
We want something, ummm, NEW? I bought Montreal for Live Aid. I'd rather sit thru 90 minutes of We Will Recycle You than the entire 4CD box set.

Since we're all sodding off on tangents and cherry picking parts of each others posts to reply to....
Can I say that I'm looking forward to this book, and hope that consideration is given to an edition with a CD/DVD of further (zoomable) images, as this really will be the one chance to see some of this stuff.

Hi Greg & Queen Fans,
I've mentioned this before but everyone just ignored it or manybe thought that I was/am very stupid:
THERE is a band which does really a great deal for their fans
1. Making downloads avaiable through a website; some concerts are for free and some you have to pay for. Not only from the recent tours but also from the older tours (1980s)
2. They also offer FAN-CLUBMEMBERS every few years to buy a concert DVD (or VHS a few years ago).
THIS band is not QUEEN (I guess you are not supprised) , but it is METALLICA.
OFCOURSE QUEEEN IS A BUSINESS but it would be nice to give something to real FANS, it doesn't have to be for free.
And YES Queen fans have been promised great things over the last 16 years, but making more and more money is more important then pleasing the fans that already have spend a lot of their hard earned money on Queen stuff.
And for something else; why mention that someone is a bad trader/seller of queen stuff and say that you should not buy anything from that guy (not me btw) an d buy part of his collection when he is selling it?
But after all Greg YOU are not to blame your just do "something with the archive".
Let's just forget about the RARE box sets and be happy what is available.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it, as well. The memorabilia has always been of interest to me. And no, I don't own the toothbrush, people.

Speaking of new Queen product. Yesterday on i Tunes a new album was released titled A Kind Of Magic: Queen Tribute by The Studio Sound Ensemble. I don't know if its any good but it is a new Queen related product.
