Has anyone with strong opinions on what should be included on the remasters or other releases ever contacted Brian via his website and let their voice be heard? If so, did you receive a reply? Just wondering.

Innuendo:
1. Queen Talks 2. Lost Opportunity 3. Innuendo (Explosive Version) 4. I'm Going Slightly Mad (LP Version) 5. Headlong (LP Version) 6. I Can't Live With You (Rocks Retake)

Well I don't have the Singles Boxsets so I'd be happy to see the studio B-sides next door to their album counterparts.
However I will speculate...
-The Works could contain a full EP of studio stuff, but there's also Live Aid and Rio live stuff to choose from?
-Magic, hopefully has the "Highlander" version of AKOM and perhaps New York, New York (Even a partial version would be enough). Hey they dug up some Flash soundtrack rarities. They'll definitely showcase the Magic Tour somehow, but hopefully they use something other than previously released Wembley tracks.
I'm also wondering if AKOM and Miracle will feature the CD bonus tracks, or if they'll be delegated to the 2nd disc or scrapped altogether?
Here's where it gets interesting though because the last 3 can't contain anything live, in theory, but they COULD add later live recordings with other vocalists although hopefully not!
Made in Heaven will be a good opportunity for something new/undiscovered in my opinion and I hope we don't just get the YDFM remixes, I mean the song IS already a remix of leftover vocal parts surely we don't need re-remixes? Surely there's some alternate versions/mixes of these tracks that they scrapped or other solo/vault tracks they rerecorded?
Looking forward to seeing how they finish this series up, unless they wanna do an expanded The Cosmos Rocks? :-) j/k
