2011 Remasters Wave 2 - BONUS TRACKS REVEALED???

This is so much better than the first batch.

Feelings Feelings (Take 10, July 1977) (Is it different to the one we know?)
Don't Stop Me Now (With Long-Lost Guitars) (AWESOME!!)
Dreamers Ball (Early Acoustic Take, August 1978) (AWESOME!!)
Sail Away Sweet Sister (Take 1 With Guide Vocal, February 1980) (AWESOME!!)
It's A Beautiful Day (Original Spontaneous Idea, April 1980) (The one I've been waiting for FOREVER!! AWESOME!!)
The Hero (October 1980... Revisited) (Great!)
The Kiss (Early Version, March 1980) (Great!)
Football Fight (Early Version, No Synths! - February 1980) (Awesome!)

None of the Hot Space or NOTW tracks are that interesting, other than Feelings, Feelings. Let's just hope that the Montreal tracks are different to the released versions.

This batch looks better than the previous one. On the other hand, I am still absolutely unable to understand why the 160 minutes of 2 CDs were not used in their entirety or at least up to common double CD's standards.

There was a similar discussion when Rykodisc reissued Bowie's 70's work in 1990. If they stuck the 6 bonus songs onto the end of the album and released them as single discs (something I would favour, TBH) People would complain (quite rightly I suppose) that it compromises the integrity of the original album. Gist: They can't win either way.

 Most importantly, that QPL came out  from a state of blissful idiocy and started to do thing which  we want

===================
Don't be overoptimistic, guys from Queen Productions will never release what we want. If even 2CD deluxe editions forced them to release only five useless bonus tracks per album, more stuff will be released only under pain of execution.

Oleg, I think, We have right to dream about Live Concerts, because only dreams we have. it's a pity that we can not file a petition for fast release of  concerts on DVD

Right, then let them keep the sacred integrity of the original cds. I find that ridiculous, but I understand where people come from. But why, oh why, loose so much disc space on CD#2?

A much more satisfactory effort in terms of the bonus tracks than what was on the first wave.

If we remember that these are "Bonus EPs" as opposed to a collection designed to exhaust the archive, then it's pretty decent.  All of this stuff is likely to also be available on any box set that gets released I would imagine.

So, looking forward to Torrenting them when they become available as with the first wave.

Good point - I imagine we'll be treated to all the tracks being compiled once the original 2 disc sets are deleted. I wouldn't mind that to be honest.

Quite a decent effort I think. Maybe it's possible they're saving a lot of the unheard gems for re-working for the upcoming Forever Queen album and are just drip feeding us slowly with some additional bonus material to tide us over until the big one....

forgive me if i've overlooked info on this somewhere, but can you please elaborate on the "Forever Queen" release you mention?

I reckon Amazon will have samples available in a few weeks time.
