BTW am I the only one whose boxes started to literally fall apart? I am talking about the single box sets, the boxes themselves started to disintegrate, when I took them out of my shelf for the first time after maybe 10 years I was horrified by their state

Other than Disc 2, add the NOTW box set to the worst (surprise, surprise)[/QUOTE]
Taking the price tag into account, Disc 2 isn't a saving grace. It's simply a bad release for three reasons:
1) Content is tragically poor
2) Price tag is out of all proportion to content
3) Appeal to a general audience is practically zero because there are no smaller releases (2cd, dvd, vinyl) like there were with Rainbow 74 and the BBC Sessions.
I would personally be inclined to add 4) a complete reworking of the album will be released JUST on vinyl in a BOX and NOT separately - that is not just bad, it's STUPID.[/QUOTE]
I agree. Just trying to be kind, and also acknowledging that I will be looking at iTunes to download Disc 2 (if available).
Look....in 2011, had NOTW been offered as a two disc set, with the long awaited BBC tracks, and what is on D2 of the box set, I'd have shelled out $50 or more for it.
As is, I went to my public library back then for 'Feelings Feelings', to heck with yet another official studio release, and gladly purchased the 2 disc BBC set.

I have a feeling the Queen movie will top the list as worst since 1991. Just a gut feeling it will be awful. I admit they havn't done much I liked since freddie passing. I do like Made In Heaven, No one but you in 97 was nice. That's it as far as making music. TCR has 3 or 4 decent songs. The live stuff they released is mostly good. My favorites are Rainbow, live At The Bowl, live Aid. Wembley was good. They were always a great live band.

Worst releases. Everything since the Rainbow DVD. With the exception of Live on Air... Just, but even that screwed the three live gigs. But this is Queen!
