As long as they got hold of the multitracks for those interviews all is well.
You just can't release anything without 'em, everyone knows that.

^^ Haha. I expect Freddie's voice to be fully autotuned on those interview discs, so his pitch is 100% perfect when he speaks.

Updates from Greg Brooks @ Dutch Queen Convention:
-Queen on air with all BBC Sessions will be released as a double Cd. There will be a box set as well, including other onair content such as live concerts that were broadcasted
-Queen Greatest Hits 1&2 getting it's re-release on vinyl. GH 1 will have a different artwork and tracklist, it will be a double Lp
-the Brian May Box Set is work in progress!
-A big Queen Exhibition on a really large scale is planned, inspired by the David Bowie one and other great ones. The Queen one will be bigger than the Bowie one.
-A Live killers Box Set is work in progress, in-between other projects
-Working on Hyde Park/Earls Court, not yet sure if it is going to be the whole concerts as a solo release, or a compilation, cause of lack of quality...
-There will be a huge 3D book with pictures taken by Brian May over the years
- A massive book is to come with live pictures, maybe split in 2 books (70ies, 80ies)
-The safest news: It is very unlikely that there will be a anthology boxset with Outtakes and things, as Queen already rejected to include this things in the bonus Cd content of the Remastered series.
It is their music and they got to decide...
Thanks to Hardy Zanelli on the info !

What on earth are they thinking? That doesn't need messing with.

Pardon. I hadn't noticed he was talking about a possible box set. If the box set isn't to go the same way as the "Queen On Air" release, then there could be some concerts like Mannheim '86 included in it indeed. I mean "On Air" is BBC-oriented only, and the box set could be just an expantion of this agenda.

^ I think there's some miscommunication that might lead to unhappiness here.
I think the "box set" being mentioned is more the 6 CD version already being bandied about. 2 BBC Discs, 1 Golders Green disc, 2 definite discs with interviews and then one last disc that either has more interviews or possibly highlights of other concerts that were played on the air....
Not a full box set with everything they've ever done on the air....

Not impressed with this at all, the box set has been butchered beyond belief.

Queen On Air
The Complete BBC Radio Sessions
Available as 2-CD set and 3-LP set / Collector’s Edition 6-CD set with added live concert broadcasts and radio interviews
Released globally November 4 on Virgin EMI. Hollywood Records for North America.
“I heard it on my radio”
Pre-Order Queen On Air Now @ www.queenonlinestore.com/Queen/On-Air/
Queen’s meteoric ascendancy during the 1970s has been well documented. From their gloriously ambitious self-titled debut album of 1973 through to the album that put them in the superstar bracket, 1975’s A Night At The Opera, and beyond, this unique group carved out a singular path as the most visionary, inventive and charismatic band of that epic decade.
But there is another side to Queen’s rise that has been largely overlooked. Between February 1973 and October 1977, the band recorded six radio sessions exclusively for the BBC. The twenty four recordings these landmark sessions produced include alternate versions of the debut single, unique takes of classic album tracks and even a radically reworked reimagining of one of their best known anthems that has never previously appeared on any Queen studio release.
Now, for the very first time, all six Queen BBC sessions - meticulously restored by Queen engineer Kris Fredriksson and mastered by Grammy Award winner Adam Ayan - have been brought together on Queen On Air, released on November 4 by Virgin EMI. North America through Hollywood Records. Available as a 2-CD set and a 3-LP vinyl edition, plus a Deluxe 6-disc edition featuring a CD of live broadcasts and 3 CDs of radio interviews, Queen On Air is an essential addition for connoisseurs of the band.
Queen On Air is more than just a collection of rare recordings – it is a glorious snapshot of the growth of a legend.
Spanning 220 minutes, the seventeen interviews represent significant landmarks in the Queen story. Talking with some of Britain’s best known broadcasters and presenters, the band reflect on various moments in their musical history, influences and aspirations, and provide some memorable quotes, such as Roger Taylor’s now famous description of Queen’s 1984 Works tour as having “more lights and spectacle than the Vatican”.
The Deluxe Edition of Queen On Air also comes with a meticulously assembled booklet containing rare photographs and sleeve notes lovingly compiled by band archivist Greg Brooks, featuring memories from the band and BBC producers Jeff Griffin and Bernie Andrews, plus comments from legendary Radio 1 DJs John Peel and Bob Harris from the time of the original broadcasts. Amongst them, Bernie Andrews, BBC Radio 1 producer of Queen’s first and third sessions recalls his first introduction to Queen:
Thanks to their studio albums and their monumental live shows, Queen’s status as bona fide rock legends has long been assured. With Queen On Air, the world finally gets to hear and discover this fascinating side of their legacy.
