Well, I speak as a PINK FLOYD collector: there is nothing really new in the re-issues, bar from the WISH YOU WERE HERE  James Guthrie 2009 5.1 mix and a couple of 2011 mixes. Fans had most of the other 'rare' tracks since... I don't know... ages? And those mammoth releases are definetely meant for the fans and collectors - not the casual buyer!

I agree. Things like that are only for big fans and collectors. I speak as a Paul McCartney collector, and I can say the exact same thing, other than the songs. Paul only released a few new things that have never escaped the vaults. But the thing is, I still went out and bought the 3CD 1DVD Band on the Run, McCartney (this only has 2 CDs) and McCartney II. 

Only fans and collectors will buy these. But that also, some fans will still only buy Greatest Hits. For example, today I was loading songs for my sister onto her iPod, and she said that she only wants Greatest Hits.

That's why I'm wondering if it would just be better for QP to just release an Anthology, like The Beatles. Sure, they'll charge 60$ for 2CDs, but we'll FINALLY get official releases of demos we don't have. One day. For Freddie's 600th birthday, if that soon.

Also, what exactly ARE these tracks mentioned above?  Have they ever been released before?:
- I’m Going Slightly Mad (Mad Mix)
- Headlong (Embryo with Guide Vocal)
- I Was Born To Love You (Vocal & Piano Version)
- A Winter’s Tale (Cosy Fireside Mix)

i think that slightly mad (mad mix) was the fan club message by freddie in 1991, a fragment of the song  with some different word than original

i also have heard headlong in this version, maybe is the same the one in some cd bootleg but i don't remember which

born to love you maybe is the same from the one in the FM solo collection
