The entire customer base at this point is a few thousand people at the most, and they won't all want the vinyl version... Isn't that limited enough?

^ assuming that was English...

Can you perhaps entertain the possibility that new tapes may have been found that they didn't use back in 1995? Do you have any idea of how many old tapes must exist in their vaults, and perhaps other locations?

If there are four *releasable* CDs of outtakes from two Freddie Mercury solo albums for his boxed set, then try to imagine how many Queen tapes are lying around from 14 albums. There were 30 songs demoed for The Miracle alone. Who says they went through everything in 1994-95, or that they wanted to / needed to ?

Furthermore - it took them about 18 months to do those ten songs for Made In Heaven. Maybe you should start up a band, conquer the world, lose your frontman, and then assemble your old scraps together to make an album. Let's see if you're up to making 75 minutes of music of that quality.

Just to be pedantic, you don't need to be able to achieve something better in order to criticise. Do we need to become political leaders and have a several-decade-long career in that field in order to say that certain prime ministers, presidents, etc., are corrupt?

Maybe an extreme example, but you see my point.

I personally find MIH to be excellent, and I really admire how Roger, John, Brian, Josh, Justin and David managed to transform a 91 seconds of a 'throwaway' spontaneous idea into nearly half an hour of material (because Track No 13 was reportedly generated from looping the opening sequence of IABD), and how they managed to stretch LML and YDMF into full-length tracks, not to mention what they did on the solo and Cross tracks, etc., but if anyone wants to call Track No 13 'twenty minutes of crap' (or whatever), it's their right to do so, and they don't need to start a band, conquer the world (something Queen didn't do, by the way) and lose the frontman.

Equality and diversity!

I didn't mean to imply that only musicians can criticize. I was trying to encourage this person to have some empathy and simply try to picture what the situation must have been like for the players involved.

Queen didn't conquer the world??
Isn't becoming succesful in about every part of the world conquering the world?

whole world????

China? - NO
India & the Asian subcontinent? NO
Huge chunks of the old Soviet Union? NO
Most of the African continent? NO

by my reckoning that's way over half of the world uncharted....so your "whole world" comment looks a little silly

Greg Brooks has stated that unlike the catalog of recorded live material, Queen's studio archives is VAST. Alternate takes, demos, working versions (think about the finishedness of AKOM that Freddie then "reworked" apart from Roger into the album version)... let alone unfinished songs that HAVEN'T escaped the archives.

I know what's been said about "scraps of Freddie material" worked on for the MIH album... but that was 1994-1995. Think about the advances is digital and computer technology since then. They could have been transferring freaking 2 inch tapes for the last 20 years and STILL not have found everything. Brian and Roger know of many things we fans don't... BUT they also forget things we fans KNOW ("It's A Hard Life has NEVER been performed live"...REALLY? 1984 tour?)

I am nowhere in the realm of being an "inside" fan... I don't anything about the fanthology stuff... but I'm grateful to have a wealth of Queen rarities thanks to things like the Queen Hub and relationships with other fine folks here on this forum. But the FAN in me chooses to be hopeful, not cynical... and the older Roger and Brian get, I suspect or at least believe, that maybe they'll dig backward just a little to reconnect with their past glory and Freddie. Especially if new things have been found worthy of working on.

One of my favorite GB quotes was from a Q&A where he said something to the effect of - the most surprising find in the archives to him was the wealth of material that Queen discarded. I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve thinking about that...

Oh dear lord. Now we've gotten pedantic.

Europe, North America, Japan, South America, Australia - about as good as a band from the western world can do.

Not that this was the point of my comment whatsoever ..

Exactly.

America, Britain, Netherlands, Germany, Japan and a dozen or so more countries barely account for more than a small fraction of what the word 'world' actually means.

Even if they did in fact sell about two hundred million records (an inflated figure, by the way), that still means that at the very least 97.18% of the world inhabitants have never bought a Queen record.

So Queen: extraordinary musicians who released extraordinary albums and who achieved a lot of success in Britain, America, Canada, Netherlands, West Germany, Japan, Argentina and a dozen or so more countries. But conquering the world? No. Not even close.
