Let's create our own queen anthology boxset based on what is available

Im agree with Dave76 idea and would be great if every volumen is available to download (after some revision of tracks) !

I made something like this for myself maybe 2-3 years ago now. I ended up having it as a 10CD set, which if memory serves my correctly, went something like this:

Disc 1: Pre-Queen (Opposition/ Reaction/ LHM/ Ibex)
Disc 2: Pre-Queen (1984/ Smile)
Disc 3: Queen: 70's Demos/ Out-takes & Oddities
Disc 4: BBC Sessions (First 3)
Disc 5: BBC Sessions (Last 3)
Disc 6: Queen: 80's Demos etc
Disc 7: Queen: 90's Demos & Beyond
Disc 8: Rare unreleased solo
Disc 9: Remixes
Disc 10: Rare Live

I thought it best to section everything out rather than mix live with studio and solo.

Of course, I've collected a few extra things since then, thanks to a few friends and of course here on QZ, and I might tinker with the above format and add/omit some stuff.

In recent light of some of the leaks here on QZ, I also compiled a Queen only set of 4 CDs, which run in chronological order. They've included:

I don't like the convention recordings, and don't see much of a point in them unless they're clean and without the POQP watermark. I've only used the ones marked * in the compilation, so the set is as clean sounding as possible.

A lot of these tracks are FLAC, and I've shared them here - some are now on the remaster sets from 2011, and some I nicked from good old QZ!!!

Great list. i love to read stuff like that. Anyone have more ideas for putting together a great boxset?
Here's my volume 3:

It would be great if the tracks you've mentioned Thistleboy1980 would made available in one torrent once again. I see some tracks which i missed over the years.

^ I'd love to do it Dave, but only get internet access when I'm over at my fiancee's house (2-3 days in the week). Even at that, she's not on an unlimited tariff, and her wee boy's always on HIS bloody XBOX Live lol....I'd never get the chance to get it off and running/seed it :(

I hope someone does get a chance to do it, though!! Maybe I could pick up a few things I've missed out on myself lol

Re:

>not on an unlimited tariff

Ditto here in South Africa - an unlimited tarriff is ridiculously expensive. I'd be happy to do it though in terms of making CD-rs up and posting them out. Blanks and postage anyone......in an old fashioned snail mail trading way ;-)

A good disc would be the full marquee club gig from 1972.

I've made a collection of tracks that Queen have preformed live but aren't necessarily their songs with some little of their own. I called the 2-Disc compilation, "Live Jewels"
It goes like this, I'm putting it in alphabetical order after the first songs of Rock'n'roll medley. I havent organized the list yet into a specific order.

1. Jailhouse Rock (Live In Montreal, 1981) (Can be whatever you chose though, I prefer this official version though)
2. Shake Rattle And Roll (Live At The Golders Green Hippodrome, 13 September 1973)
3. Stupid Cupid (Live At The Golders Green Hippodrome, 13 September 1973)
4. Be Bop A Lula (Live At The Golders Green Hippodrome, 13 September 1973)
5. (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care (Live In Budapest, 1986)
6. Ay-Oh (Live Aid, 1985)
7. Big Spender (Live At The Rainbow, November 1974)
8. Brighton Rock Solo (Live At Wembley, 1986)
9. Day-Oh (Live At Wembley, 1986)
10. Drum Solo (Live At The Rainbow, November 1974)
11. Gimme Some Lovin' (Live At Wembley, 1986)
12. Guitar Solo (Live At The Rainbow, November 1974)
