News of the world 40 in 2017: will there be a release?

They will do exactly the same for the 40th anniversary of NOTW as they did for the 5 preceding albums.

I don't think anyone is wanting the band to release abandoned half arsed takes of released songs - I think you're massively underestimating what they have in their archives if you think they'd have to be scraping the barrel to issue unreleased material.

TBH, I wouldn't mind if they did!

Me too. I'd love it. I love hearing different versions and takes...I basically want it all. Different takes, any full songs, any half baked ideas...I love hearing them all

I'd love it too, but I suspect we'd be in the minority so ...

Only a minority would care about a 1980 version of 'It's a Beautiful Day' or a piano take of 'Football Fight', and they still got released. So odds are there, even if they're minimal.

I do wonder the thining behind those particular releases you mention Sebastian. I think that Football Fight take was one of the more valuable additions to the 2011 reissues.

The rough SASS add even more evidence that they're prepared to be candid. That was especially notable because it was Brian's.

I'd LOVE to see the email exchanges that went on behind the scenes before they were released.

There was a tiny blurb in the Planet Rock about how NOTW was "poised for an anniversary release" this year.

I know it's vague, but it gives me some hope, especially since Brian May was interviewed in the same issue.
