I would like to see the "proper" Thank God it's Christmas released even if its just for those extra 5secs at the beginning :) It's simply soundig better to my ears.

cheers

since we're on the topic of the next remaster releases, What 14 tracks from the final 5 albums would be used for Deep Cut 3.

We already have it on the Wembley DVD, but I want the original AKOM being included, yes or yes !!

Is This The World we Created
Tear It Up
Man On The Prowl
Princes Of The Universe
Gimme The Prize
Was It All Worth It
Party
Kashoggi's Ship
Ride The Wild Wind
All God's People
Pain Is So CLose To Pleasure

(I haven't a clue what is even on Made In Heaven)

GT, re:

> It's nice to have a bit of everything, including live tracks, demos,
single versions and BBC sessions, and more tracks will be considered for
the last batch that have never seen the light of day, I'm sure.

But that just makes the re-issue programme seem like it has no clear direction in all honesty.  "Well, we'll stick that on there because of X, Y & Z and we can also shove that on too blah blah."

I was really hoping for a definitive 2-CD set for each album, but, yet again, where other bands have set the standard for re-issue programmes, Queen have failed to live up to anything remotely like anything else.

Still lingering in the distant space where there's hope of a definitive box set release of studio rarities.  Oh yeah....other bands have put out FAR better material than Queen could possibly hope to achive, haven't they!

"Queen - The Budget Remasters, available if you can be bothered, butbet ter to download them as torrents when they become available."

Just take a look at the U2 deluxe edition (Island Records)...

Do we have to have these threads where people guess what the bonus tracks on each remastered album are going to be. It drives me fucking crazy.

But obviously, there is going to be more tracks to choose from than the last two batches.
As someone has pointed out already, there are no rules regarding the tracks that make up the bonus EPs. It's nice to have a bit of everything, including live tracks, demos, single versions and BBC sessions, and more tracks will be considered for the last batch that have never seen the light of day, I'm sure.

And before anyone says it's up to us at QPL what eventually gets chosen, it's not, it's down to Brian and Roger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GT / GB -

i fully realize you both may only offer suggestions to Brian and Roger for what bonus material to include in these releases, but i have to note... if they DID set up some rules for them (or follow the patterns they've already laid out) it would certainly be a win-win situation in terms of giving fans everything we want and allowing people to buy what they're really after without duplication.

for instance, I own all (4) singles collection boxes.  I wanted them for their asthetic packaging, for the Peter Mew remastering, and for the b-sides.  For those who want official single versions and b-sides... THOSE are the items to buy.  Why duplicate b-sides on the bonus EPs?

new remasters of Greatest Hits I & II, are obviously aimed at casual or new fans, just wanting the well-known tracks.

but for these remasters, where you're aiming to, i believe, long-time fans (or perhaps a few new fans who care about audio integrity and quality as opposed to the Greatest Hits crowd mentioned above)... QPL has such a great opportunity to reach into stuff that is UNTAPPED thus far.  It shows respect for the fans, and it will in turn serve your sales better.

Can you please explain the logic in putting previously released (and widely available) live tracks from official live releases on these EPs?  It's just maddening to know there are brilliant performances that are only available as so-so quality bootlegs that COULD be included, and then to see something from Wembley or Montreal 81 or Milton Keynes taking one of the coveted 5 spots.  As fellow fans, you surely understand our feelings on that...

I'll buy all of these, no matter what's on them.  not because I am rolling in money, but because i love this band.  And high praise for some of the great wins thus far (De Lane Lea demos, It's A Beautiful Day original idea, You Take My Breath Away Hyde Park, and BBTLB a cappella - LOVE these).  Keep it up...

If we knew for a fact that a COMPLETE BBC set was forthcoming, and a COMPLETE 12" mixes collection was forthcoming, and ANY official live releases from the 70's were forthcoming... we'd relax a bit.  The comments are heated here, because we're all afraid this is our one chance to get some of the things we've longed for, and fear they might not happen...  thanks

Don't read it then. It's a Queen forum to discuss anything to do with Queen, If I choose to ask people's opinions on what might be coming out so what? That's my choice, if people don't want to reply then that's up to them.

If it's up to Brian and Roger..............................don't they frickin listen?  Are they surrounded by 'yes' men?  Jim Beach has been the worst, IMHO, at presenting Queen to Queen fans.

They continually put out a cheap product.  Hence, the majority of long-time fans don't buy the re-issue garbage.  I can think of dozens of long time friends who would have presented lengthy lists of worthwhile bonus tracks.  All of us would have wished that a particular track or two would have been included on each album.  But at the end of the day, we would have been ecstatic with the 9-10 bonus songs featured..........from our input.

'WE' just don't get it.

I was going by the thread title thinking it was listing what the actual bonus tracks were going to be.  It turned out to be yet another mind numbingly speculative thread.
