A 40th anniversary boxset!
Could be amazing. Could be super disappointing.
We'll see.

The new edition of Classic Rock magazine states that it will be "an elaborate collectible box set" with vinyl, CD and DVD formats. Rare versions of original album tracks, 60 page book and the documentary.[/QUOTE]
This sounds good so far...

We need a blu ray, hopefully with bonus content.

The thing is that i'm excited and worried at the same time. I mean, we all know QPL's strategy and how they let us down so many times in the past so let's hope for the best.

Hopefully It will be worth buying. The last product I bought was the Rainbow Box. Nothing has been worth buying since.

I have a feeling we'll see My Melancholy Blues from the BBC sessions as bonus footage. And maybe some Houston 77 highlights.

I guess we will get:
- 1x NATO remastered with some new mastering Errors
- 1 hour of old interviews, but spread over 4 CDs (each CD having the cace of Freddie/John/Roger/Brian ... it goes without saying that each CD will contain the same interview)
- 1 CD Highlights NOTW tracks live (mainly from live Killers)
- 1x one-sided 12" Coloured Vinyl with 1 unreleased track from a soundcheck (in poor Quality)
- 1x DVD with 30 min of Bob Harris docu - with extra: the making of the 30 min. Bob Harris docu
- 1x Bluray (30 min with same Content as DVD)
- 1x booklet cointaining typos and wrong info with a lot of pics now in b/w (previously seen in colour)
sounds realistic to me !
Think now I'm qualified to work for QPL

More seriously, the documentary will, and should, be edited. It has to tell a story of some sort. That's not to say it should be short - there could fairly easily be a "director's cut" of a length to satisfy most.
Also, expect to find that most of the best bits of the band interviews will be bits you've already seen. DoRo had access to this material 30 years ago - they *will* have used the good stuff.

Greg Brooks has stated on many occasions over the last 5 years that the Houston concert will not be released in full. Just the best bits. Instead of using it on a live compilation with Hyde Park and Earls Court, they could very well use it on this box set.
