I love "Greatest Hits 3" the way that it is actually.

Wow, EMI have really lost some BIG bands of late....Queen, Radiohead et al. Not looking good for them really.

The SINGLE funniest thing I have read in a very long time.
It's funny, but true. Look it up on his damn site.

kinda makes the lyric in 'let me entertain you' redundant though doesn't it!?

So do I. While I uderstand why many people don't like it (it's not really a proper GH album); I nonetheless like it alot, especially since it has stuff I otherwise wouldn't own.

I am expecting a Made In Heaven II ... honestly. There's more near complete songs in the vaults than they say. Brian's said something like "We have an archivist who locates songs and things on a daily basis that we could complete in the future and release".
Roger stated quite catagorically in his fan club Q&A last month that there will never be another MIH style album.
Still That shouldn't stop them releasing an album of previously completed material or a few singles at the very least.
It's be interesting to see what happens.

The Rolling Stones also went to Universal recently and had their 70s catalogue released. No extras, no new booklets...nothing.
They ARE remastered though, and the Queen albums DO need remastering properly as the singles boxset remasters clearly show!

Didn't the Stones' remastered album also get pushed out on SACD? Or is that another band's recently remastered catalogue I'm thinking of?

If you consider raising the loudness level for three dB and using a limiter, that takes away the dynamics as "remastering", then you may be right. But the Virgin remasters still are the best leaving the dynamics intact.
So I don't need Queen albums compressed to death.
What I need are the Queen albums remixed from the multitracks.
Anything else you can easily do with good home equipment. And if you "remaster" Queen II for example, you will find out, that there are many clicks and noises buried in the muddy original mix. And this can only be repaired properly when you go back to the multitracks.

Only their 60s cataloque was remastered on SACD some years ago.

"Jimi Hendrix (or better his estate) went to Universal a while ago and now we have the same original albums remastered for the fourth or fifth time...no extras, no mono mixes.....just some additional short DVDs with interviews being mostly available before...not essential at all."
Yeah but it isn't you - or indeed very many - of the people on this site that they aiming this sort of material at. It's the new fans, the upcoming ones. Indeed, they probably aren't even aiming them at the "CD-buying" public any more. I'm in my mid-30s and I stopped being a sales target for record labels at least three years ago.
Also, while I still love to "own the original", I increasingly have an eclectic hard-drive of much smaller acts, local bands etc, that may never see the inside of a record label's office.
The entire music-buying model has and still is changing - anybody familiar with how Belfast-artist Duke Special recently raised the money for his marketing will know this.
This is a smart move by Queen - and yes, as someone points out further up, new or fresh material will be expected. But I'd say that Brian, Roger and to some extent, John are at that stage in their careers where they are seeking the sort of organisation that will cement and solidify their musical legacy.
