Jim Beach has a message for us all on Queenonline

Here it is below if anybody wants to see

“Many of you will have read bits and pieces on the internet about Queen leaving EMI and moving record companies. Although we are saying nothing official at this stage I felt that you should hear from us that it is true that Queen are leaving EMI after 39 years.”
“Next year we start working with our new record company to celebrate Queen’s 40th anniversary and we will be announcing full details of the plans over the next 3 months. As Brian has already said Queen’s next moves will involve ‘’studio work, computers and live work’’. “
“Whilst working on this move I am also launching my son Ol Beach’s band Yellow Wire this August. Many of you will have known about Wire Daisies which was Ol’s band with Treana Morris (who Roger discovered some time back). Ol decided 2 years ago to branch out on his own to write, record, play and produce his own album using the band name Yellow Wire, a name that he got from a masseuse in South Africa when he was down there supporting Robbie Williams (more of that story in Ol’s bio on yellowwire.co.uk! ). The album is now finished and the first single ‘’Where is the Summer’’ will be released on 23rd August, you can click here to check it out.”
“Obviously being Ol’s dad I think the album is great – I hope you do to. Brian was certainly very complementary. He sent me an email saying ‘’I like this a lot. Ol’s singing? Nice’’ You can’t get much better than that! So give some of the tracks a listen here and if you like them register here to find out more and by all means post your comments on QOL , the Yellow Wire site or any of the related community sites.”
“We will be having a draw from all those names that register here on the Yellow Wire site between now and the end of September. The prize will be dinner for two either in London or Montreux (all travelling expense paid) with Ol and myself where we can discuss Yellow Wire, kite surfing, Queen, life in general or whatever else takes our fancy. See you winners there!”
Jim

Thanks for posting that Freddiefan91.

So, do you want to start speculating on what the 40th anniversary commemorations might be?!!

Did you register on the Yellow Wire site?  You can take me to Montreux!

Cheers.

Have not registered yet but i will do later

Perhaps they will team up with Paul Rodgers again, write some more songs and go on a world tour

Who knows!!!

Mah...

onestly I am quite surprise reading his e-mail.

It doesn t give me a good feeling...because the point of the e-mail is about his son basically..

Personally I think it has nothing to do with Queen.

^ Thats exactly what I thought. It was nice to see that JB has put his head around the corner and popped in to say hello at least...

IF they are going to tour perhaps even John Deacon would join in but that might be a wish too far

The message which I also got by email, has clearly been sent by Jim Beach to promote his son's band. He has revealed nothing that we didn't already know.

Just words.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !

This actually got released... Why is it included in your list?

Because now it's Cosmos and not the whole house :-)

I've just emailed Jim Beach to tell him I'll be jamming in my room later -- maybe a bit of Zep, Sabs, Queen and Rush. I might have a bath after that, then I'll try to finish a book I'm reading by Stephen King. I would say that info. is about as interesting to Beach as his info. about his son's band is to me.

Has anybody e-mail Jim Beach?

In the early 90's there was talk about releasing different boxes all with 3 to 4 albums with all kinds of bonus stuff demo, live etc.

Yes they have been fooling us for quite a long time, let's hope changing record company will at last result in something for the fans.

Or do they still need more and more money.

BTW Brian and Greg warned fans not to buy stuff (live cd's) from a certain Dutch dealer, guess who bought the whole collection??
