Just looking at the list of extra songs for the next release it looks as if queen are just teasing us.....a mixture of unheard tracks, Live tracks in great quality, live tracks we have already got in great quality and tracks we have and therefore havent the need to be on their.....but remember these remasters of these albums are for both the newcomers and die hard fans, so a mixture of songs most of us have heard and have in other collections will be there, its just a shame their not releasing any dates for this long overdue Queen Anthology....I got sick of waiting I created my own for each album,..

I was thinking that was a bit over the top - but if each set contained 2 albums (is that what you meant?) I could see that working nicely. If clumsily.

Another live version of Action This Day! Great! I really hope Roger's vocal can be heard well enough. I think they did a pretty bad job with the MK version.

This........SUCKS!!!!!!!! QPL? Why can't you get your fucking heads out of your asses!!!! I sure hope this isn't the final choice of tracks. Action this Day from Tokyo 1982....are you kidding me? That's the worst version of the song and there's nothing surprising on any of these tracks!!!!
Please tell me this is a bad dream.

For someone else it might be interesting but bonus tracks from Hot Space IS NOT interesting at all, for me of course...
By the way, Back Chat (Single Remix) will be from 7'' SP release I guess (because we have it on the Singles Box Set -)))

could you show us your anthology listing of what you included?
I, too, just got the email and the bonus track lists.
As with the first 5, there are at least a few tracks on each I'm really excited about.
Mostly, it's the live tracks from released concerts (Milton Keynes, Montreal...) that don't do a whole lot for me, but I'll add them to the collection.
Naturally, the demos/outtakes are far more my cup of tea:
NOTW Feelings Feelings(Take 10, July 1977) - Great! Spread Your Wings (BBC Session, October 1977) - Good to have! My Melancholy Blues (BBC Session, October 1977) - Good to have! Sheer Heart Attack (Live in Paris, February 28 1979) - Okay (is this from Live Killers...anyone?) We Will Rock You (Fast) (Live in Tokyo, November 1982) - Okay, I think I have this on the VHS
Jazz 1. Fat Bottomed Girls (Single Version) - No surprise, but already have it 2. Bicycle Race (Instrumental) - Probably will be cool, like the SSOR, TYMD and YMBF instrumentals 3. Don't Stop Me Now (With Long-Lost Guitars) - Great! 4. Let Me Entertain You (Live in Montreal, November 1981) - Got it on the actual live album 5. Dreamers Ball (Early Acoustic Take, August 1978) - Great!
The Game: 1. Save Me (Live in Montreal, November 1981) - Got it 2. A Human Body (B-Side) - No surprise, but saves me getting the Singles Collection to get it remastered! 3. Sail Away Sweet Sister (Take 1 With Guide Vocal, February 1980) - Great! 4. It's A Beautiful Day (Original Spontaneous Idea, April 1980) - REALLY Great! 5. Dragon Attack (Live at Milton Keynes Bowl, June 1982) - Got It
Flash Gordon: 1. Flash (Single Version) - No surprise 2. The Hero (October 1980… Revisited) - Great! 3. The Kiss (Early Version, March 1980) - Great! 4. Football Fight (Early Version, No Synths! -February 1980) - Great! 5. Flash (Live in Montreal, November 1981) - Got it! 6. The Hero (Live in Montreal, November 1981) - Got it!
Hot Space: 1. Staying Power (Live at Milton Keynes Bowl, June 1982) - Got it 2. Soul Brother (B-Side) - No surprise, but good to have remastered on CD 3. Back Chat (Single Remix) - No surprise 4. Action This Day (Live in Tokyo, November 1982) - Okay 5. Calling All Girls (Live in Tokyo, November 1982) - Okay, but already have it from the MK DVD (photo gallery track)

Nope, the Live Killers version is unaccounted for. The video of the Paris version has circulated for years, and it is really badass - Brian breaks a string half way through and makes noises for the rest of the song ... Queen and punk unite. It'll be great to hear this in top quality.
"We Will Rock You (Fast) (Live in Tokyo, November 1982) - Okay, I think I have this on the VHS"
Nope, this was cut from the official release.
I don't know what some of you guys are complaining about - this is spectacular. There are a dozen interesting tracks in here. They could throw in Freddie Mercury's ashes as a bonus feature and you guys would still be whining about their colour.

Great extras! An improvement on the first batch. Have you noticed how QP usually has a crappy first batch and then improves on following releases?
Another example that comes to mind is GVH1 vs GVH2.
Sometimes I wished they would release batches backwards so we would get a kick ass release from the 70s.
Only track I missed was Staying Power's 12" remix from the U.S.

This is SHIT. What good does all this stuff from Rock Montreal and the Bowl do for us? And WWRY Fast and Action This Day from 11/3? Why would they take any songs from that gig when they can take us stuff from Hammy 1979 for example and they took NOTHING from there. Honestly, who do they think they are making happy with these tracks? It just seems like they're too lazy to give us good stuff or they just have no idea what most people want. And we're not really asking for much so don't be ridiculous with that ashes comment. I'll were asking is for stuff we HAVEN'T heard either at all or in top quality....like stuff from the UK 1978 tour or Hammersmith 1979 or even Houston...If they're gonna pick live versions of songs, why do they pick it from what we already have? To me it doesn't make sense.
Out of all of them, Paris's Sheer Heart Attack is the most interesting but still not anything of what I expected. Let's hope for some good bonus videos.
But seriously, spectacular? This is even worse than the first wave of bonus tracks.

Okay, that two more tracks I'm happy to have.
All in all, I'm happy with the selection, though there are other tracks I'd have chosen and maybe fewer live tracks (just my taste, I want to hear more studio out-takes).
Cool Cat (with Bowie) There Must Be More To Life Than This (Queen Version) Sex Show (Demo) I Go Crazy (Hot Space Instrumental)

========== If 8 previously unknown/rumoured recordings from 2nd part reissues are worse than nothing really new on first 5 bonus EPs for you, you should have a VERY rich collection.

Yes but the live tracks they chose were crap. And if they were gonna choose rare studio stuff, they could have at least chosen Silver Salmon.

Sir GH,
I think that this is better than before, neither espectacular nor awful...but i am more excited to hear something new from DT album with Mike Mangini hehehe.
