Abbey Road mastering engineer posted this tonight regarding NOTW.

Silver Salmon and any other outtakes from these sessions.[/QUOTE]

And battery not included

This conjecture is great and a special anniversary edition of NOTW would be great, but having other albums go by without a nod it would seem slim.

I guess the other side of this is that it was the major break through to the big league in America, also one of if not their biggest selling album in that market. We got a 30th anniversary ANATO set so who knows. . . .

Releasing it after the tour makes sense . It could be released on the original date or week that NOTW was released and remember that the music industry has changed. Album sales are not what drives a tour anymore, most acts make more from touring then they do from sales now, unlike the 70's and 80's. The current tour might make a lot more people aware, especially new fans of the album, and so build a market to release it too. . . . If it happens!

That all makes perfect sense. Reverse engineering - the tour markets the product.

And on the tweet itself, he included photos of the tape boxes, with what seems to be an early title of Get Down Make Love - called "Get Down Make Head."

Is that the first we've heard of this? Was it just one of those silly titles, like Brighton Fuck?

I lost it at Get Down Make Head!
I wouldn't be surprised if that was Freddie's idea.

Also. ...SLEEPY on the sidewalk

Get Down, Make Head
Sleepy On The Sidewalk
Melancholy Blues
and Spra(x)d Your Wings (?) maybe a little typo

Not mastertapes though are they? Reels with songs on them, not actual track sheets. Don't get your hopes up. Or keep talking about it in 5 years. Probably the case...

Maybe they're dicing one of these up into tiny pieces (like the Foo Fighters did) as its not a multi track.

Purchase the new edition and get a fragment of that reel to reel with it

Looking forward to this. Curious what we will get this time.

Maybe the multis of "Spread your legs"

Probably just a remix of WWRY with Five.....

Oh don't get me excited.
I'm dreaming of a surround mix.
Perhaps QPL have seen how well Sgt Pepper has sold and realised that surround sound ISN'T as dead as they stupidly thought it was...

But they are just stereo reels.

He may well state it's 'not a remaster' as in a straight new edition of the album, but regardless of whether it's a surround release, box set, computer game, etc etc... any audio WILL be remastered.

With Five *and* Adam Lambert. You know, Frederick's favourite singer.
