5. It’s Late (BBC Session 6 w/DJ Chatter) – Exclusive to NOTW 40th , chatter not included on any edition of On Air

Some of the DJ comments are in BETTER quality on the NOTW boxed set, quite bizarrely!


I guess they were just able to source out better tapes. Glad they did.

But the fact that a few seconds of DJ chatter are the only interesting thing on the disc is pretty disappointing, to say the least.

I, too, did not buy this box. For five discs (only two of which have anything new on it), the price is ludicrous.

Kudos to them for digging into the archives and releasing new stuff, but it's still hard to justify paying that much when the Rainbow box was three discs and less than half the price.

Yeah, I did not buy it either. I am kind of down with Queen Production. Too little too late. Should have started releasing stuff back in 2004 to follow through after Live at the Bowl.

I apologize but I must quibble ... Rainbow was four disks and less than half the price... not three ... the two CDs, a DVD, and a blu-ray ...

got the box, and overall I'm pleased with the content. Too expensive though, no doubt. Compare it to any other box set released recently........

I haven't bought it for the reasons outlined by Mr Wizard. What I'd love to know, but will never get an answer to,
is who was responsible for the pricing of this set. Was it The Band pushing the record company, was it a QP limited pricing policy or was it as I suspect a record company decision to recoup a bit more of what the deal with Queen cost them.
