Yeah the release of "live at Brixton University" were mentioned too. it wasn`t released at that point so don`t blame them for the little mistake "Academy" would fit better.

What to write...
There are songs, you have the demos from The Miracle and Innuendo, but...are all good songs to be release? That's perhaps the problem. Must be better publish in a box set like the F.M. box set someones, other reworking...
The Freddie Mercury Album/The Great Pretender was hated by the people who worked with Freddie in that songs. And I even put what one of the remixes thought about do that compilation.

That story about "shelfed" songs is true and no myth or disremembering. Just for example a snippet from early in 94 (german youth magazine) basicly in this snippet they(Brian May) announced Queen Tour with George Michaels (Picture montage)...later that tour was ruled out by a statement from Roger... but anyway !
Back to topic...it says that about 200 Queen songs were shelfed in various studios.
Other sources from inside the industrie mentioned about material that would be enough for five or six new albums.
True? - false? - I don`t know.[/QUOTE]
Fascinating stuff! I guess there would be quality issues to think of if this stuff does exist. Beyond that, I reckon it's all about maximising the band's legacy. And if the stuff is of high quality, then what else would they be waiting for? The only thing I can think of is they want to give people born later on a Queen treat as well. I mean in some ways releasing a Queen album now will be like releasing it into an alien environment full of such things as divas and rappers.

I believe it when I hear it. Until then, the last worthy release, Live at the Bowl, was almost 10 years ago. Time goes by and aside from fairy tails, we have heard or seen nothing new over the last decade. I doubt we will see anything new.
