News Of The World 40th Anniversary Box Set - ITS OFFICIAL!

Prometheus Freddie Mercury has uploaded the raw sessions

Yup. As expected, it's widely available for the cheapskates who wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

Mercurialfreddie: I didn't so much refer to this specific session, more like at this period of their career; A Day At The Races has equally impressive singing, Jazz is stunning as well. But these sessions are just such a highlight of what I consider Freddie at his peak. Somebody To Love is another major one.

^ Haha! Yeah, I don't work that way either. :)

If he really did this then it is a huge shame. I knew that it would come out eventually but as I stated earlier, even with other media types there is the rule that you give time the creator / publisher to capitalize on the product.

^ It doesn't really matter at all... Who wants to have this box set, will buy it anyway. Who doesn't care about the box but wants to listen to new music will never buy the box but would pay for download or cheap CD version. As there's no official download option or cheap CD version to purchase, people will download it for free to enjoy the music. It's so easy to understand, but I'm not surprised with QPL management once again. Hopefully such greed and stupidity will be over after several years...

It is tempting to download the pirated sessions, but I do not want to lower myself to that. I prefer to think I have better ethics than QPL.

If a 2 or 3 CD version of NotW (without the vinyl or video) I will likely buy it if the cost is less than $15 per disk.

Just had a look at my boxset newspaper, wow... How the hell did they manage to misprint the bio?... Only QPL...

Just an assumption: probably 40 AE 2(or 3) CD version didn't happen because 2011 2 CD set is not sold out yet. If they will release it, no one will ever buy 2011 set.

Neat. Where?

(*not a cheap skate. .. wasted $$ on QAL in 2014: pricey tickets)

I might buy this set when i relocate to bigger digs. ....but the price is not warranted

PM if need be. I really will only listen to it a few times and that's about it. Just curious about SYW.
It's probably even on YouTube right now.

This stuff is a cool curiosity. .. but doesn't warrant $200

Just had my first listen to the Raw Sessions. Fantastic. Now we know what the instrumental bit at the end of the leaked All Dead, All Dead demo is. Shame about Freddie on Who Needs You, though. I don't see why they felt the need to "perfect" his voice on what was clearly a quick, flawed demo.

Oh thanks! I had found it.

Well. With the releases and previews (bbc) it kinda lost the gusto.

Wasn't bad. Still a piece meal deal. Would've been nice on a 2 disc.

Ah QPL. So many people WILL NOT but this cause of price and redundancy alone. And u just know they're sitting on so much
