Fun on Earth & The Lot - Nov 11th

It's an additional 'whole lotta work' which is not suitable for QPL image, you know...

Hi Gary, as you're the only chance we have to ask directly to the "sources"....

Will the full details for The Lot be revealed before release date? Because everything seems so quiet after the official press release that said nothing about it, contrary to what we all were expecting.

Many tks in advance!

How come Roger never mentioned it on the BBC One Show last Friday?

Would have been an ideal place to promote it.

Maybe no one would pre-order "The Lot" (or would cancel the order) if the tracklist was offered.............not a good sign

We all know what QP did over the last years.......I expect a nice looking box with no surprises, only the well known extended or single versions which every fan owns for many years...

I was too disappointed over the last year - why shold they change their fan-bashing

I hope I´m wrong

I'm not expecting anything new either, just hope that it's really complete. No cutting corners by only including the Extended Version of Manipulator and not the original version etc. But seeing as they didn't even include the Future Management/I Wanna Testify footage... You'd expect the first ever solo tv-appearance, promoting the first solo 7" would be reason enough to include it in a box...?

I for one won't be (pre-) ordering this until I see an actual list of contents... Like you say, it's not a good sign to withhold all information as long as possible. :/

The full Cyberbarn gig on DVD plus the two live tracks from Montreux 88 would be a must really. I'm guessing as only one DVD is in the set the former definitely won't be included though.

Well. If that's the tracklisting of the 4 "singles" CDs, it's no wonder they've not published it officially yet.
Barely anything of interest there at all sadly.
I'd hoped for at least a CD full of unreleased stuff, but it doesn't look like it. Not even official releases of the unreleased tracks that have leaked in the last decade :(

I can only hope that everything HAS been newly remastered (nicely) otherwise it'll be an even bigger disappointment.

Since GT only completed the sleeve notes for the Lot about 4 weeks ago, I guess they are or were still finishing up the product. I wouldnt be surprised if the digital release is released sooner than the physical product because the box couldnt be printed in time for Nov 11th.

Seeing photos of the album covers/inlays and discs is all well and good, I dont have many of the original albums just Shove It and the last two Roger Taylor albums so this is great to complete a collection rather than risk buying some pirated copies from Ebay. But I cannot find anywhere in the UK where I can actually pre-order it from. im not risking the US music sites in case I get stung for tax. This is going to look perfect sitting right next to my Freddie Mercury Box Set :) And I so want it...but I just cant find it....

Having pre order available in the UK for Fun On Earth but not The Lot, when they are out on the same day, is simply ludicrous. We've seen pictures of the final set so it must be ready?

Or perhaps those are original early promo versions, and our debates of the last month or so have brought to light some glaringly obvious omissions in the tracklisting that were overlooked by the archive team. I do honestly sincerely hope this is not the case, but have suggested this in a very tongue in cheek manner here before and GT did nothing to refute this - the lack of tracklisting and any prominent mention of The Lot in the official press release sadly does nothing to alay my fears.

I had luck to pre-order the boxset on it´s first day of appearence at Amazon.de for only 110 € , meanwhile it´s up to 135 €.
Today I got an e-mail from Amazon with confirmation that the boxset will arrive on the day of release....

Ahhh I missed that bargain then...Is that for delivery in Germany Mr Bed Guy or outside Germany..how much is the delivery from the amazon.de site for the UK? I couldnt work it out...
