I really hope they aren't going to sell a two disc version for that £35... :p
A four disc version is possible, but I wouldn't pre-order it just yet.
My guess for the contents would be:
1) the album
2) single versions and demos (including about 5 minutes not on the FM box set)
3) videos
4) surround remix of the album

£35??? No wonder people steal music off the internet...
Patétic artwork!
What a god-awful cover.
That is one bad cover.
the cover is awful....
I have a feeling at least one disc will be demos etc that was featured on the box set from 2000.
now- if they have made a new documentary, re-recorded parts with a real orchestra, re mixed the album in surround....I'll be all over this!

Gotta be 4 discs for that price. Otherwise....piracy wins again because a two disc at that price is ridiculous. I wonder how the single disc is a "special edition"?
That cover needs to change. HORRIBLE.
It'll be interesting to see if there is anything new. I can't imagine anything being added that's different from the FM Solo box set?

I kinda like the artwork. It's got a Miró-esque vibe, you know, Joan Miró - painter, sculptor from Barcelona.
If that's an actual picture of him, it would be nice as it is and I'm sure people from Spain and/or familiar with Miro's works would appreciate it more than others. If it's not an actual work by Miró and it's just made in the style of him I would say the execution could be better (the first "A" is weirdly positioned).

Alex, please create new artwork for this release ;-)

It's 2 CDs + 2 DVDs if I understood it correctly

Don't call it stealing please. In my country it's perfectly legal to DOWNLOAD anything you want. It's illegal here only to UPLOAD copyrighted material
I remember Roger saying that he didn't want his picture on the cover of Electric Fire but the record label insisted as it would be more easily identifiable and sell more copies. I can't therefore in God's name imagine why the cover for this is so terrible, and without a picture of Freddie (especially when the original release was such a lovely classy gatefold cover and sleeve).
Cover: It says Barcelona 'the city' to me. Not so much 'the album'. I'm not that keen on the original cover either, but it worked nicely as a spoof of a classical album, and I think that is what this is doing - very similar to modern classical albums. I can imagine maybe it's being aimed more towards the people who only buy their music from the sealed glass section in music shops and to cash in on Euro 2012 3 months too late.
