I can't say that I'm the slightest bit surprised about the cd bonustracks of AKOM and Miracle ending up as the bonus tracks on these EPs. That much was obvious the moment Kes started dropping hints about the "clean" versions of the albums.
Just how greedy can they get with the bonus material?
I would say "lazy"  :-(

I wouldn't say it's lazy. Lazy would have been to tack five songs from the b-sides of the singles, but it takes some (twisted ) effort to re-brand the previous cd tracks as exclusive bonus tracks and charge extra money for them...

everybody calm down :) they cant release every demo they have. They want to save some song for 2030. I am just dissapointed that they didnt put self made man in there because it a fu**ing great song :(

So There You Have it......................

The whole EP thing is ridiculous anyway. Either fill an entire CD with rarities or leave everything for a future box set.

no better way to brief it all. That´s it !!

Haven't bought the first batch of remasters, I did, however, listen to the sound quality on selected titles to see if they were worth it. Queen still sounds like shit in terms of sound quality of titles, when compared to 70s contemporaries. Why did they end up producing such muffled recordings? For example, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Hotel California sound like they were recorded yesterday, whereas most 70s Queen sounds like they were recorded yesterday at the back alley of block of flats by one microphone and the drums were cardboard boxes.

To conclude my rant of irrational hatred towards this product: the bonuses are simply substandard, and simply not worth the money. To be honest, this final batch has the worst bonuses of the lot, and I was thinking they could not get any worse than the first two. Queen Productions are still scraping the bottom of a barrel named Queen.

The Miracle............i remeber in 1989 there was talk off a album named Another Miracle, it was to include all the b sides and 12 inch mixes. Wish they had done back then as maybe they couldnt have just put these tracks as bonus tracks, we all got them on the single releases etc.  Maybe it should be called Not another miracle. lol.

Expect a lot for this round

there is nothing new

This is an absolute disappointment...a rip off, a touch of ass in the metro...we should all fill the brianmay.com'soapbox, or letters or whatever...at least is something.

Just checked Queenonline.com. Almost 70 negative mails to QP at the release message.. Will the bell finally ring?

What began as a potentially good year for Queen fans has become a HUGE letdown.

There's no need for me to repeat what everyone else has said, but I'd REALLY like Gary Taylor to reply to these and tell us who is responsible for such piss-poor extras. Is it him/Greg/ Justin, or was it Brian/ Roger/Jim Beach ?

What a shame we aren't going to get a "Who Wants To Live Forever" with Freddie-only vocals.
Would have thought that a bloody obvious addition.

Finally. As for the inclusion of "I Want It All - single mix". WTF?????
It would be less of a piss-take if they'd NOT put it on!!!!

Before Freddie Died, he said to Jim Beach: "Never make my music boring".
Well. You fucked up there Jim. I'm bored!

I hope so Queenman.

At the Breakthru convention Gary said that the ultimate decision of what tracks go on these releases is down to Brian and Roger and has nothing to do with Greg or Gary.

Well, they certainly saved the worst till last.  The QPL marketing machine at it's best.  "Give them a choice of buying a load of shit, or having a big gaping hole in their collections."  What a bunch of con artists.  Brian and Roger should be ashamed at allowing this to happen.  :(
