Where's the Roger Taylor album?

Any news on when we're finally going to get the new RT album?

Last week he recorded a last minute track, so next step will be the mix and the mastering of the (compilation/album?).....I believe not before October...but who knows

Is this the same album we've been hearing about for the past couple of years?

Yes it is

The new RT album delayed release reminds me of "Smile" by BB and "Chinese Democracy" by GNR.

So is it just an album or the solo box set? or is any kind of box set wishful thinking....

I hope it is as brilliant and fantastic as all the other 'RT' albums....

It's bound to end up leaning more towards the latter than the former.

I'd say I'm more interested in a RT boxset.

Right now it's a solo album I believe but he is also working on some archive stuff as well - box set or compilation - we don't know.

We do know a few things from his FB page:

[QUOTE]RT HQ here, just had a great meeting with the man himself about all sorts of projects. Solo material, The Cross, The Queen Extravaganza, the new album...you name it. Great things ahead people.[/QUOTE]

Ok so we have "NEW ALBUM" we have "RELEASES" plural . We have solo PLANS including SOLO THE CROSS and QEX

There was also a quote in some magazine that I can't remember now where he specifically mentions a box set of some kind.

My guess which is as good as anyone elses really is that he's working on a new album and close to the finish line (or at least much closer than he was) but he's also got plans to release a box set which would be his four previous solo albums with perhaps a bonus disc of B-Sides and perhaps some rarities.

For some reason I think he will keep his Solo stuff and his Cross stuff separate. Perhaps there will be a Cross compilation as well but I think his Cross talk was centered around Spike mentioning a Cross reunion happening at a Christmas gig or whatever it was (I can't remember the exact quote).

Of course all plans are completely nebulous until there's a press release but I believe that is the working plan...WHEN? No idea...when it's finished and he doesn't seem to be in any rush.

Roger has recorded a extra track for his album. And the compilation of his songs album has problems with the Shove it material Virgin will not release it to him so he is considering recording the tracks again for the album...
And what ever happened to him releasing the songs one by one for us fans to choose what songs go on his album.

LOL!

We (fans) don't know more than what's has been sayd in the latest months on Roger's facebook or media news. Wait from news from the man himself on [url=https://www.facebook.com/RogerTaylor]https://www.facebook.com/RogerTaylor[/url] ,  Queenonline.com or https://www.facebook.com/Queen . Don't ask us for dates. We will know the dates when that info is release from the official sources.

That's ridiculous. After the difficulties with the Sheffields, surely Roger wouldn't let himself get into such a position with Virgin...?

I have this from a good source..
