They will likely be released in the US in the same format at a later date.

As for News of the World... they'll likely include the full BBC Session... which is 4 songs if you include We Wil Rock you Fast and Slow as one track. + We Will Rock You Fast live in Houston.... if they had to include a sixth track... probably something random like We Wil Rock You by Queen + Five! lol... Because no one wants an official version of the "Feels Like" jam... that would be too much to ask.

If they release them in the U.S. in the same format, yeah sure why not? I'm esp looking forward to A Day At the Races...such a great piece of work that one is! :)

Over 11pounds?? Why so expensive?? In my country the remastered albums cost arround 6 Pounds (40 argentinan pesos) and i think is a reasonable price.

I`ve all the 70`s discography in old (but in Very good shape) LP`s except for the oldest cd versions of The Greatest Hits (When the GH II Was bought freddie still was alive) so maybe (And Only maybe) i will to buy the Queen Cd...
I`m curious about the "You Take My breath Away" bonus from Hyde Park but i will not buy all the cd for only one track.

Cheers!

I already have the GH1 and GH2 Japanese 2011 remasters and I ordered the first 5 on the day of announcement.

so, yes, I will buy them.

Nope! No matter how many times these recordings get mixed, re-mixed, re-mixed of the former re-mixes from the original re-mix of a former mix it still doesn't change the original performances of the band. That's what matters!

No, of course not - looking at the tracklist, maybe Queen I beacause of the De Lane Lea Demos.

The remaster products do not  fit in the"deluxe" format in any sense. In fact it´s the most crappy deluxe edition of the Universal catalog. As we only get snipptes of the bbc sessions and live recordings of the time of album release, we can expect that we do not get the complete regular 12inch versions (which would have been the least of a "deluxe" edition) nor the Highlander soundtrack or other appropriate deluxe recordings.

I even did support the Single-Collection-Box Sets, but thats over! Sorry!

I'll buy them all :).

I don't like the extras that they are putting out, but hell... I love this band.
God save the Queen-hub!!

I have to agree that these are in no way Deluxe Editions of the first five albums.They are going to be issued on the 50th Anniversary [IMO].By that time will there really be an appetaite for such releases?It smacks of pure greed by QPL and in my opinion Roger and Brian have not come out of this which much credit.I have loved this band all of my life,for as long as i can remember and yes i will shed out more money,but we the loyal fans deserve so much more.

No!! I have all the Queen albums on vinyl & japanese compact disc. And my harddisc is full with extras & bonustracks ;-)
VINYL ROCKS and the japan first pressings CDS are in perfect quality. SHM is unnecessary. 

 I will buy only a box set and  DVD audio!!

borrowing a friend's line:  if there had ever been a release called 'Queen Farts', the Stepfords will buy it.

And they'll buy the remixes or 'deluxe' (hack) editions.

Don't bother if you are buying them for improved sound quality. They are likely just "louder". Search "loudness war" to see what I mean. Don't give up your original cd's or vinyl. MFSL, Original pressings (especially Japanese non-remasters) are best for sound. Vinyl is another topic of course, but I'm referring ot CD's only. Do the research and save money. Record companies lie about 99% of the time when they say "remaster" is an actual sound upgrade. If you're buing for bonus tracks, that something totally different of course. just don't throw away your old cd's

Nope. Already have them. Call me when they release something I haven't already bought multiple times.

Maybe I'll buy one or two, just to prove. Probably Queen II or Races. If I like them, I would buy some more.
I already have the complete CD collection, so I doubt I'll buy them all.

I won't be buying them as I have some of the extras tracks on my Hard Drive as well as the original albums on CD.  I rather save up my money and buy the Rolling Stones Boxset when it is released as I seem to get more value for money than I would be buying any Queen deluxe album.

Don't Know??? Maybe,  Just a shame that we have most of the extras already,  Can't believe Greg B is sitting on a gold mine of stuff that could have been included on the discs, but we get 2011 remixed stuff.  "Bohemian Rhapsody" Opera bit.  Could have remixed that myself a dosen times over, in different ways with the multis :-(
Joyful the sound
