Some of them yes but not all. I have the CD for years now and All God's People demo isn't on this.

^ No problem. I'm looking after all the Miracle demos I can get in FLAC. If you can send me the demos in a PM, I'll be very grateful.

Regarding Capitol, they released 'The Miracle' in the USA. I believe it was the last album Queen was signed with them for. Then Hollywood Records snapped them up. Press releases at the time clearly stated Queen's dissatisfaction with Capitol and one of the reasons they signed with Hollywood.
Capitol but a decent push behind the INITIAL release of 'The Miracle' album ('I Want It All' got good press, and did decent here), but then they just dumped the remaining 2 singles ('Breakthru' & 'Scandal') out on the market with no hype at all, and both those singles went nowhere. A true shame.
I remember laughing at one of the articles - I think it was in Billboard magazine - at the time... where one of the Capitol Records executives was quoted as saying "We're letting music lead with this album." - which was another way of saying "We're not spending much money on publicity."

Their loss - look at the all the money Hollywood saw after Mercury died.

Only due to shitty remixes tagged onto poorly mastered albums (some with glaring errors..) Queen did a real number on Hollywood Records..... pretty sure there was nothing about a band member death in the huge contract.

Not so sure. One of two things. Generally businesses will get insurance involved with talent in most fields. My guess is that Hollywood knew Freddie was ill (he missed high launch party on a ship which is odd for a group on a new label) and the four album deal was basically for older material. Other words they knew he was dying, everyone shut up and profited immensely.
