Re: exhibition.
At last we might get to see more of the "hundreds of hours of footage" shot by Whistle Test on the NOTW US tour..........

And to be honest - I'd be pretty excited already about a repackaged and hopefully remixed Queen II with See What A Fool added on as a bonustrack, a nice thick booklet with quotes/information/pictures from that era and a beautiful digipack.

Digipack?
They can shove digipacks up their....
God how I HATE digipacks

The interest, or potential FOR interest, is there, it just has to be carefully marketed which, as we have seen dozens of times before, Hollywood Records is woefully incapable of doing. I would suggest that the feature film will cause a spike in attention for the band in the States and they'll need something for people to buy.
Its on Brian's site that the first 2 releases will be Greatest Hits 1+2 ffs!

Ah I see, thanks for clearing that up. While not strictly a Queen album, it is still a rather good one (in my opinion).
I doubt it is being re-issued as it is only a couple of years old, and is in no need of remastering. I doubt they'd have much bonus content for it either!
Actually, there's heaps of bonus content that I'd be keen to hear although admittedly it's mostly live stuff that hasn't been released on cd.
STUDIO stuff -
Runaway
Take Love (as far as they got in the studio anyway).
whatever else Paul meant when he said they had too many songs.
LIVE stuff -
Take Love
Las Palabras De Amor
Voodoo
Time To Shine
Warboys
We Believe
Surf's Up
Red House
Rock and Roll Fantasy
The Stealer
Under Pressure
Dragon Attack
maybe Long Away, although it was very brief in Europe and I haven't heard the Yokohama version.
maybe I Was Born To Love You from the "other" night, if Rog didn't stuff the words up :)

I hope they don't put "live versions of the tracks on as that would be dull and "cheap".
Oh, really? I'm really hoping for some more live stuff of some of the rarer tracks as well as the studio work. There are plenty of tracks not represented on the current live releases.
I'm really hoping they quietly have a live "Sleeping On The Sidewalk" hidden away.
Since it'll be the 25th Anniversary of the Budapest Concert, Whats the chances We'll see a Remastered Blu-Ray Release of the show. Brian stated a couple of years ago that they were working on it.
For the first time since the late 1980s, Queen's catalogue will have the same distributor worldwide, as their US home, Hollywood Records, is currently distributed by Universal (for a time in the late 1980s, Queen was on EMI-owned Capitol Records in the US).
This is one thing I saw in a press release, so maybe the USA will get the deluxe editions. I'd like disc one: the album and any non album b-sides from the singles from that album. Disc 2 can be unreleased songs, demo's and live versions.
I'd shell out the money one last time, but ultimately I'd like a Box set instead of re-releases...
We can only hope that QP will not screw things up again, and we will get something similar to the U2/Cure deluxe editions....but you know Brian and Roger....they'll think that any repackage, remix and what not is better than any unreleased song...
Was it for me I'd do, first, a proper, DEFINITIVE, album box, like the Beatles mono, that in particular, because the mono one has perfect reproductions of the original LPs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcE7uYo1udk&feature=related
so, no other "crap"...classy and good album editions....
and then a "regular" deluxe edition, with, again a filological, nicely done inclusion of all the original remixes, edits, b-sides and outtakes...and no 5.1, surround or wahtever mixes....was the Sistine Chapel intended for 3D view? No...
When they recorded and mixed News Of The World where they thinking "I wonder what it would be like to hear this passage on the fourth speaker..."? Again, no...
Or everybody say "Innuendo sounds flat etc..." well that's how they wanted it to sound in 1991, so I don't see what it has to be remastered or remixed. What I'd like to hear would be "The best sonic representation of the sound of that particular year" not some modern day remix
South Park got it right, in "The China Problem" episode...you don't have to screw with what has been done...

Just to warm my heart (or to get more pissed off at Queen releases) I regurarly check Deep Purple.net ...where other than nicely, and I should add lovingly, done remasters, there's the archivist Simon Robinson, who ask fans for advice about future releases, where no-one is angry and everybody partecipate in the "construction" of the remasters and compilations...case in point...right now they're discussing about the release of the BBC sessions...and everybody give thier suggestions...and Simon kindly answers...no one gets "Shut UP, I can't tell you what's in the archives, I'm not the one who decides, I'm the archivist, I'm the only one to know what is true..." and things like that....
...Brian and Roger...or whoever has the final say on the releases, think the same way as Alan Douglas (the old Hendrix estate manager), i.e. "I don't care what people think, I'm gonna do it my way...it's the Greatest Hits that sells well? Well I'm gonna release another Greatest Hits. Younger fans think that doing a collaboration with Britney or 5ive is cool? We'll give them that..."
....patiently waiting for "Greatest Hits Volume - Another One"
How about some new HI DEF rereleases. Like DVD Audio or SACD.

Both formats are dead and there is no new format in sight, that could become successful.
In a world, where people watch youtube and listen to mp3 or even music from cellphone-speakers there is no industry investing in formats for minorities....although it's sad.
