Queen - Super deluxe editions - How It Should Be Done!

When i look on the excellent website superdeluxeedition.com, there are always announcements about exciting box sets from other artists. When compared to them sadly Queen are lacking so behind.

They used to be so pioneering in the past, but they seem to be so out of touch with what people want these days.

The forthcoming Queen on air should have been a bit more comprehensive in the live material department. Every artist pretty much does super deluxe editions of their albums these days, but Queen choose not to.

There is so much potential for comprehensive releases of all their albums. I have used the 'A Kind of Magic' album as an example. I have made a list of what could and should be the ultimate release for this album. I know i am living in a dream land, but just look at what could be a fans dream product.

I know there is some recycled product (but that's no different to what Queen do anyway!) 

but in some ways it would be nice to have it all in the same package. 

It's a big shame it will never happen. 

Here is my dream super deluxe edition of A Kind Of Magic. Let me know what you think?

It would be great but it's what you've read on the "Queen ON Air" subject here on the forums. In one of the posts GB said that he will pass on the remark that even only audio release of a concert could be well received by fans and joe public. Just that fact states how far back behind the music market they are.

I like your project very much but imagine that you're the archivist and you're coming up with something like this and then JB, RT and BM are saying things like... hmm let's throw this out of the project. Hmm... maybe let's release Mannheim as a stand-alone product in the future....
Basically you would get very stripped down version of your project.

I like readings from fans who come up with imaginary boxset lists. Mostly i drew upon for my own project which is getting bigger and bigger.
Here is an example of what i have made so far. The project is 27 volumes long but at the moment i'm reworking the thing as new tracks are coming in from time to time.

Yes, we all have interest in large deluxe editions for each album and some of us try to compile large track lists with all known versions no matter how they differ to each other...
For me it's very questionable how well content is compiled even by fans...
I don't see above any track list that I want to find on possible official release.

For example I don't think this sequence is very clever:

(also I don't think you know the differences between them)

Gimme The Prize ('The Eye' Remix 1)
Gimme The Prize ('The Eye' Remix 2)
Gimme The Prize ('The Eye' Remix 3)
Gimme The Prize ('The Eye' Remix 4)

especially back to back with

Love Makin' Love (Queen Demo)
Butterfly (Demo)
Friends In Pain (Demo)
Back To Storm (Demo)
You Are The Only One (Demo)

Do you know the difference between these tracks?:

A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling (B Side)
A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling (Extended)

Is it really useful to place them both and back to back?

And there's a lot of such examples...

There's no need to mash up studio with live recordings! Each tour can be presented on its own with great box set with out a problem.

Insanity!!!!

Are you joking? So many lives you want to put.

[/QUOTE] Yes i do and i'm not joking.

Dave & sithmaster34 (and I can't BELIEVE I'm entertaining a sithmaster being of the Jedi persuasion myself....... ;-}), don't be disheartened.

If this is something that you LOVE listening to then more power to you my friends. These pricks telling you how bad you are either haven't got the amount of material in their own collections to actually be able to do this for themselves and are insanely jealous or are, simply, the trolls that we know them to have been for so long.

Personally, I never like mixing live and studio material as, to me, they are completely different BANDS in virtually every single instance (not just limited to Queen), but I get the feeling that you're looking at this as a career documentary and, in that respect, it works bloody well indeed. I prefer full shows in all honesty so pretty much wouldn't countenance buying a live box set that featured highlights from them on stage.

And, I run with the Deluxe Edition format too, so studio album, then the b-sides and alternate mixes then the out-takes. I don't include karaoke material or snippets from The Eye etc as they, to me, were not issued for home stereo comfort......... Each to his own sewerage.

Good work chaps and hopefully, we'll see more contributions along these lines as it beats constant complaining.

^ It's very easy to call users as 'pricks' and 'trolls' and nothing offer as well... By the way, check out my signature.

cmi, this is great and I love the detail in the artwork and liner notes - brilliant to see that fans are so capable when the band and the people that they pay to do things like this are the polar opposite. Wish I had the time and the talent to our together something like this for Queen, Queen II, The Miracle, The Works with all the official material available.

I'm not 100% comfortable with piecing and stitching together tracks from various different releases, but hey, very very clever work.

Stay tuned...
