The latest issue of Record Collector (Nov 2012) lists a new Roger Taylor album to be released in November in their "upcoming releases" section.
If this turns out to be true, it is possible it is the "Best of" collection that was mentioned a while ago. The collection may have a couple of new tracks such as "I'm a drummer in a Rock 'n Roll Band" and "Smile" that were previewed at a Queen Fan Club convention.

Interesting. Be more interesting though if it was new stuff, possibly this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unblinking_Eye_(Everything_Is_Broken)
That Wiki page can't be trusted but it is a possibility.

On the Polish press conference, Rog talks about a brand new album.

It's a new album from what RT was saying in a few interviews. I was also led to believe that it was initially scheduled for November but would probably surface in early 2013 due to Hungarian Rhapsody coming in November, etc.
I bet it would include both the convention songs and Unblinking Eye...
and just a hunch, I wouldn't be surprised to see a solo version of either Say It's Not True or Small on there.

if "Small" is on the album, I'm gettin' this!

If Brian can redo songs from The Cosmos Rocks with Kerry Ellis then I'd like to hear Roger's solo take on his tracks

Honestly, these titles can't be true :) But considering the moderator posted it, they probably are. Oh well...

For some reason i got the idea that it was going to be a brand new album, not a "Best Of".

I would love to hear a solo version of "Small."

This is good news Jim told me roger was working on finishing the album back in may...Looks like real good news for a tour then..

With the Foo Fighters on hiatus, I wonder if it will be the once threatened Taylor and Taylor tour?
That could be awesome. I would almost guarantee that Taylor Hawkins would spur RT to do some more obscure tracks...

I hope that's brand new album with brand new songs. Anyway, he told to some magazine that album is "eclectic" and "featuring rock, tongue-in cheek stuff, and dance music."

I have been watching Wiki for the past few years waiting for The Unblinking Eye (album version) to be released. I really like the single, so it could be really good. So I sort of think that it must be the album rather than a best of. Don't think Roger is ready to do a best of actually. And Queen has so many collections out in recent years, some new material would be great.

A "Best Of" should not come out right now. I hope that there is a tour and a guests on the solo studio l.p. A live l.p. after the tour would be cool would it not? Well as long as Queen get to recording and touring again...
