We were only promised the Live Killers remaster in 2012 so hold on a few more years mate.[/QUOTE]

Live Killers cannot be fixed in any way. It's a mess.

Give us Paris 1979 complete instead. SHA on the deluxe version of NOTW sounds amazing.

Live Killers can be fixed by going to the archives and listening to all the gigs recorded for Live Killers back in the day and choosing again the best performances and making a new master. It's a hell of a work but it's not like QPR's guys responsible for that kind of job don't get paid for it.

I wonder when will they announce the project which was described by GB as being on par with Live at the Rainbow.....

I love Live Killers. Me as an 8 year old listening to it for the first time didn't know what a edit was and by the time it was so ingrained in my DNA I didn't care :)

I do like the idea of expanding it to include tracks that were chopped out - STL, It's Late etc, but maybe corrupting the running order might ruin it. Bowie did that when 'David Live' and 'Stage' were reissued in 2005. They sound great but the integrity of the original albums was compromised.

If we're talking boxset, I'm sure the original album can be included as a separate entity alongside DVD and new audio.

Live Killers can be fixed, just don't let Brian, Roger nick pick at it, Sure Justin and Kris, Josh will do a good job, If they stop messing with compression on drums (M Keynes,Budapest, and autotune (rainbow)

Uh I just saw a new LP of Innuendo in a local record store, of course overpriced (€29,95). I hope it is not the 2015 version, because it was just a single LP. I'm pretty sure it wasn't there last time though and I thought the previous set of remastered LP\s wasn't available anymore.

I heard it's just the complete works box with the rest of the albums sellotaped on, I'll probably still buy it....[/QUOTE]

Which is exactly why they keep releasing the same old shit.....

After a 25 year + gap, I've just started buying vinyl again, but even so, unless there are some extras in terms of tracks or packaging, I cant imagine I'll buy any of the Queen albums again. I have most of them at least twice already.
One thing that seems to becoming the norm. is the inclusion of digital downloads when you buy the album.
I jus bought Crime of the Century by Supertramp, which is a 3lp set. The original album plus a douple lp of tracks from a Hammersmith Concert in 1975. (I don't think its the full show, but I'm not such a big fan that I would know) Anyhow, came with a free (mp3 admittedly) download of all 6 sides.

The new Magnum Double Live LP on vinyl comes with the cd version in a plain white sleeve included.

Now including downloads wont make much if any difference to the people on this forum, but surely they need to do that if they are to catch some of the not so die hards.

I imagine these things have to appeal to more than just the people who already own them in different formats or they'll just lose money.

Anyhow, I'm hoping they have some beautiful packaging if nothing else.

It was probably the Hollywood Records pressing. It is probably out of print but you can still find them pretty easily in stores.
