Back Chat (Extended), Staying Power (Extended), Radio Ga Ga (Extended), I Want To Break Free (Extended), It's A Hard Life (Extended), Hammer To Fall (Headbanger's Mix), Man On The Prowl (Extended), Keep Passing The Open Windows (Extended), One Vision (Extended), A Kind Of Magic (Extended), A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling (Extended), Friends Will Be Friends (Extended), Pain Is So Close To Pleasure (Extended), One Year Of Love (Extended), Breakthru (Extended), The Invisible Man (Extended), Scandal (Extended), Innuendo (Explosive Version), You Don't Fool Me (Late Mix), We Will Rock You (1991 remix), Under Pressure (2000 remix).

Oh no Lucas, please do not go for the horrible 1991 remix of We Will Rock You, it isn't called ruined for nothing....I'm hoping that the so-called vault may have a couple of unreleased extended versions. As happend with the Freddie Mercury Box, where out of nowhere the unreleased version of Foolin' Around appeared. And One Year of Love is an extended version which also came out of the blue....

TBH, the Innuendo Explosive mix is a waste of time too. Take off the stupid white noise at the end and what do you have? Oh yeah, the normal album version.
But yes, a 12" set is long overdue as is the BBC Sessions set.
Anything that's bloody obvious to Queen get's overlooked, but hey, why waste time and effort when they can release the LPs on vinyl again?
Roll on 31st July for the last batch of Zep remasters. TWO CDs worth of extras on the last one, not 5 poxy tracks like we got with Queen.

Surely if they really HAVE to do a deckchair then 'Seaside Rendezvous' would be the obvious choice (or 'Brighton Rock')?!?[/QUOTE]
Or maybe In The Lap of The Gods....or In The Chair Of The Gods? lol.....or a Modern Times Rocking Chair...

For peeps in The Netherlands who are actually looking forward to this release (probably nowhere to be found around here): http://www.bol.com/nl/p/complete-studio-album-vinyl-collect/9200000046789375
Only 359 EUR, free shipping! That's a BIG difference compared to the Queen Online Store and the 90 EUR delivery charge I had to cough up...
Cheers,
MR

Some record stores are listing this as a Limited Edition.
That term seems to be used a lot these days to pressure customers into pre-ordering at high prices rather than later when the price has dropped.
I don't believe it of Queen anymore. Limited Edition means bugger all these days.

A question for you folks...
If you were to choose one of the upcoming Queen Studio collection LPs, in order to see how the sound compares to previous releases/reissues (or the album that could be the strongest indicator that a good job has been done overall), which one would you go for, and why?

I love the look of the new Queen II with the black/white vinyl and the high-resolution artwork. Such a shame that one isn't sold separately.

You can pre-order any of the albums separately (black vinyl instead of coloured too). >>> http://www.queenonlinestore.com/Queen/LP/

Talking about it... What they exactly mean with that "custom etching" b side of each black/white vinyl??
I´m talking about this: "For this new edition, the album has been cut on two separate discs, black and white, each with a [b]custom etching on the reverse side, a nice bonus for collectors."[/b]

I'm guessing the Queen Crest.....it'll be along the lines of the etched Scandal 12" single that had etched signatures on one side..

I ordered and recieved Innuendo 2LP + Made In Heaven 2 LP.
My thoughts:
- Innuendo.
Great sleeve. The glossy foil, the gatefold, the print and the innersleeves. All are really well done. It's great to finally have this album in full lenght on vinyl. The pressing sounds good. I compared it too my mint- '91 german pressing and I have to say I prefer the recent 2015 version.
-Made In Heaven.
Like Innuendo, it's great to finally have the full lenght album on vinyl. This edition sounds nice as well. The artwork, however, could have been better.
The outer sleeve is made of a different paper compared to the original 1995 release. The 1995 release has this semi glossy cardboard. The 2015 doesn't have this. Also, the posters in the 1995 release are printed on thick paper. The 2015 version uses a much thinner paper. In the middle, where the poster is folded, it shows a clear almost white fold line while the 1995 release didn't have this.
The 2015 innersleeves are nice, but again, the 1995 one is better (apart from the spelling errors)
To sum it up:
-Both LPs sound nice and are an improvement compared to the originals sound quality wise.
-The Innuendo artwork/sleeve/inners are superb. Way better than the original.
-The Made In Heaven ones aren't. The 1995 release has better quality sleeves and posters.

Finally getting round to posting my thoughts on this set. Even though I am a collector of vinyl I didn't decide to order this due to the price until the day before release. I'm not going to review the sound quality as I plan not to play the set.
My overall impression is that the set has been very well done although there are a few flaws as I had expected. I wasn't expecting the box or contents to arrive mint either as it's been very hard to get a mint record and sleeve either in shop or through the post for many a year although some suppliers are better than others and can achieve this.
As others have mentioned the box is too small to house the book and vinyl without causing damage to the sleeves and inner notes. Once you have looked at everything and placed the vinyl back in the box and given them space to breathe there is no room for the book. This is a design flaw. The book itself is nice and there are a few new pics of recently discovered original lyrics on display that were discovered only last year. The gold box itself is nice with embossed Queen logo but the slipcase is flimsy.
The overall quality of the sleeves is good and as mentioned already Innuendo is excellent as is Queen 2. The shocker for me is The Miracle which has a very poor reproduction for me...almost like a cheap bootleg reproduction. It was a good idea to put them in resealable sleeves though and I wasn't expecting this.
As for the vinyl, there was more translucent discs than I was expecting although the overall quality of colour distribution if held up to light is very poor. I have based this on comparing past translucent discs such as the Japanese Live Killers and French News of The World which are perfect and make the ones in this box look very poor in comparison. I also compared them to non Queen coloured vinyls which are all perfectly clear with no swirls of colour. My edition of The Game has the same melt effect look but make no mistake that it is not intentional and is merely very poor colouring of the vinyl during the production process. Even the lovely yellow vinyl of Flash Gordon has small imperfections in it and as a rule of thumb the darker the coloured vinyl the better it looks. The mirrored Game sleeves looks excellent though. The worst discs in my opinion is the Made In Heaven 2nd almost clear disc and the best probably the blue from disc 1 of the same album.
I'll let others comment on the sound as I never play my vinyl except for the additional copies of anything I buy but obviously can't afford 2 of these babies. On appearance alone and quality of the reproduction of the the vinyl and sleeves I don't regret this purchase and would rate it 8/10.
Where to buy it from...well that needs a separate post but my advice is avoid using queenonline / digital stores.
