Hi, Pittrek. I had never seen info about rarities being included. I might have missed the thread you mention. o.O

Look at the final sentente...

On November 4, Hollywood Records will be releasing another in a strong and smooth flowing river of Queen issues over the years. This new set is called Queen On Air, and will house the BBC Recordings of Queen over several formats. Those will include a 2CD set, a 3LP set, a 3CD set, and a possible 6CD complete set.
The 2CD set will feature six BBC sessions. The 3LP set will feature the same, one session per side. The 3CD set will include a performance set from Golder’s Green Hyppodrome in addition to the 2CD BBC Sessions. The 6CD Box, if released, will add, in addition to the 2 CDs of the six sessions, 2 CDs with radio interviews, 1 CD with the Golder’s Green Hyppodrome performance, and another CD with rare and unreleased stuff.

"Especially the rare & unreleased stuff"

There is lots of unreleased stuff that the fans have had for years. Applies to 'rare' too. The best we will get is stuff we know/have but in slightly better quality. Anything else is a MASSIVE bonus...

I'd hope for the Bob Harris 1977 uncut documentary. And if not this year then hopefully next year as it will be 40 years ago.

Hi, MrFunster. Yeah, I saw that, but only on this thread and not in a previous one, mentioned by Pittrek, which I think I missed.

Cheers,

Ogre-

Now we are talking. 6 CD Set plus a possible DVD/BRD Release. This has become way too good. Gotta hang on in there till November

A mini documentary with wittness accounrs of the 77 spread your wings sessions would be nice....

But how much of that material fits the concept of an "on the air" release?

I suppose it's to much to ask of QPL for Hyde Park being on the extras as it was broadcast on Capitol radio at the time. Mind you I'd prefer it as a standalone release.

Hyde Park will not be part of this release.

The fact that the rare cd and blu ray are only potential at the moment and the band still haven't decided whether to include those, does make me fear they'll pull that bit of the package.

Was Hyde Park "really" broadcast or is it just a myth?

There will be no DVD.
