This is what Gary Taylor says on Facebook: As for the 'new takes', let there be some surprises, just wait until you get the album.

Well one things for sure. There will be no "new takes" from Freddie so he must mean "remixes" or additional tracking ala "I Can't Live With You" from Queen Rocks.

Well you say that, but Gary or Greg said at Convention a few years ago that they'd come across a take of a "Jazz" track (I think it may have been) that had completely different vocals and when they played it to Brian and Roger they were blown away by it (forgive me Gary if you're reading this and I've got two stories mixed up). The point is, what if one or more of these tracks are different takes.....?
How cool would that be?

super cool and I expect these things would be great for "anthologies" if they happen

The new tracks (or lack thereof) makes me wonder if the rights negotiations with the Jackson estate went belly up somehow. Wasn't it supposed do be tracks with Jackson plural? Looks like Queen were only able to secure the single Mercury composed track in the end

I'll get it for the new tracks, I suppose. I really have no complaints, but it I had higher hopes. Still cool though.

probably was the alternate dreamers ball which is amazing.

I just noticed that in the 2CD order section at QOL, the track list has two tracks each for:

Friends Will Be Friends, and
It's A Hard Life.

The last track is called Forever.

Could the second tracks and the last track be the "surprise" ?

Edit: After I wrote this, the track list was amended to show only one track per title.

Forever is the piano version of WWTLF, nothing new, the others, i think thai it´s a mistake

If that is the case... they should have just said fuck the Jackson estate and release just Freddie on vocals for There Must Be More To Life Than This...

They missed a perfectly good opportunity to finally release the Paul McCartney cover "Souvenir" which was allegedly going to be released in 2001.

Bummer.


Hopefully there's a newly recorded sniffle on jealousy

A sneeze on WWTLF ...

Yeah, maybe they restored the interest to Jealousy that was accidently missing when original released.

Downloaded the FLACs, and good god, what the hell did they do?! It really sounds FAR to squashed, far too loud, far too crappily mastered. William Orbit's mix of There Must Be More To Life Than This is notoriously bad, the end of the guitar solo is so bloody loud it hurt my ears! Just another compilation album with crappy sound quality, I'll pass, and the FLACs will be obliterated from my hard drive. Be right back, cleansing my ears with the original CDs/Vinyl Records/Cassettes of Queen albums that DID sound good.
