Haha, nothing has changed then.
Looking forward to the Pink Floyd box set :-)

I hope so as I'm right at the front of the walkway!! [/QUOTE]
Ha! I wasn't that close but I was there. IIRC I originally had a seated ticket near the front then it was announced the seats would be taken out because the concert was being filmed. So I ended up standing somewhere in the middle, with the rif raff :p

- A Queen 3D photography book is planned based on the photos taken by Brian on stage and off stage. Look forward to Freddie's nose coming out of the picture while he powders it backstage.
- the long awaited Brian Queen memorabilia book is in the 10th year of the making and by now it will probably be 2 books, so it will take another 1-5 years to make.
- A Queen monopoly game is in said pipeline (meaning we don't know when it will come out) based on Queen tours. So you can buy a Wembley Stadium etc. We will get this because Brian is such a big monopoly fan
- By the end of the year they want to release a Queen radio edition based on the BBC recordings. There will be a 2CD and 6 CD edition. The 6 CDs contain the BBC sessions (don't ask me about completeness), radio interviews and live material that somehow is connected to the radio theme. The 2 CDs will contain BBC sessions as well but will be different enough to make you buy them on top of the 6 CDs. No video material is in this package.
- In November we can look forward to the Greatest Hits double vinyl release in unprecedented quality. I guess that Freddie's 25th death anniversary reminded Jim Bitch that he is not supposed to make Freddie boring, so a new GH edition is the best release to achieve that. The funny thing was that GB did not want to "confirm this" but reluctantly did when he was told that the item is already on amazon.
- No more 70s concert DVDs will be released although they are "looking" at the material (Houston, EC, HP etc) and maybe some day there will be a compilation - or not.
- we can also forget about the anthology or any outtakes/demos because Brian and Roger are such perfectionists etc etc. Plus the casual customer is not interested.
- also in the famous pipelines: the Brian May solo box. Supposedly, the casual customer is interested enough in that as the previous sales numbers of Brian May stuff sufficiently proves.
- Greatest Video hits: a lot of blahblah but no specifics. promo videos are also in that pipeline and won't come out for a long time. They could make re-edits from all the rushes they have but why speculate, in the end the few promo clips we do not have will be missing anyway, because they are such perfectionists etc etc.[/QUOTE]
That's grim. Think my days of following the b(r)and are coming to an end.

I was reminded by a friend that GB also mentioned that a big Queen exposition is planned like the David Bowie one.He did not tell us any details like when and where, though.

The lack of quality? I'm sorry, since when QPL became care about quality? Do they think that poor quality will be deterred from buying the next never seen before material?
If to speak about quality, "the quality" is not only good quality Studio recording buffed to a Shine where you can hear the coughs, farts or other sounds. It is primarily the quality of the content.
Unfortunately I have noticed( I think many will agree with me) that the quality of the content as bonuses on the reissue of the Studio albums in 2011 leaves much to be desired.

If they will every time sell the same material for the casual fans they will lose die hards fans

Wow !!! It`s sounds so...dissapointing that it hurts :(

If the Hammersmith 1975 marked the end of the 70's concert then it's a great shame. A Night At The Odeon is not a release with which they could with style end the live 70's material. Are they waiting for 2019 or 2029 or 2039 for a release of Hammy 1979 ? It's a huge shame. Does it also mean that now they will focus on the eighties or only the most recent live material ? Does Joe Public really want only Q+AL now ?
on my way up
I feel like commenting about those in charge like Freddie did about the British music press at one of those London '78 shows. They have no clue at all.

We almost should join forces as fans and create the ultimate Queen anthology boxset. We have waited long enough and i'm sure there is enough material to do us. Brian and Roger won't ever give us what we want so we rather should make it ourselves

Well that's it then.
With very little else to look forward to, I don't know why I F'ing bother anymore.
That's just completely taken the wind out of my enthusiasm for Convention this year.
Daft thing is, the Anthology set will sell WAY more than Brian's shitty little re-release box set which, no doubt, will be as disappointing as Roger's.

I agree with you. If they only knew that a sort of anthology boxset would be bought by thousands of desperate fans but they simply doesn't care anymore.
Look at what The Beatles made on their anthology boxsets in 1995 and 1996. Million copies sold. I had enough of waiting and made my own boxset 2 years ago and i am very proud of it.
We should join forces and create the anthology boxset that fans deserves based on what is out there. The Fanthology should be revived as well. I'm all for that. If Roger and Brian won't give us maybe we should do it ourselves.

One last question before I commit slow suicide...
Can we be sure Greggy Boy hasn`t take us for a ride ?
