News of the World box, no US release?

If no US release then 145 bucks from the Q online store, WOW, out of control...........

just ordered for Amazon.Uk. around $107. was listed as $95.00 but came up as $76.00

Calm down. It's still early.

Yeah, the 20% discount because of not having to pay VAT on amazon.co.uk when shipping to Canada made it a worthwhile purchase for me. Just the lottery of whether ill get done for duties and taxes. Its really hit and miss, I didn't pay for Odeon or Rainbow sets or even the Hysteria box set, but just got dinged $16 For the Godley and Creme 5 disc set, and that was only $30 in the first place .

So a release that includes a documentary called "An american dream" but that has no US release...

Ah. ..good ol QPL; JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE BEING CIVIL (at the table) they spike hot sauce in your eyes and throw the bird at the folks sitting on the other side.



They REALLY know how to fuck with the hard core fans. That IS ludicrous!

I guess "WE" got the NOTW tunes (albeit for a couple venues) and you guys get the expanded album.
Maybe we'll get "THE BEST OF NOTW" featuring a remix and 4 of the 2nd DISC live tracks from 2011 reissued. Plus half the original album with voiceovers (commentary)

That'd be just as spotty....just like an old man at the table rife with senility


...maybe The commentary on WHO NEEDS YOU lasts 5 seconds.


Brian: "Ohh! This is John's song, really lovely pastiche"
Roger: "Right. Right. Well, he isn't here after all. ... (chair squeak) [noticeably lower voice] "suppose we find some audio of John talking. .." (**audio stays at low fidelity "hush" volume for remaining 3 minutes**)

I'm starting to believe the OP was right. It's not coming to the USA unless by mail order.

How odd. It's a legendary album,they just toured a tribute to it....it's got eye appeal and fantastic Artwork....so why not drop $50 off the price and sell it in stores?

It's a clear strategy.

Pump it out to the idiots in the UK and Europe and stay away from the USA where the listener is - presumably - more protective of their cash.

This is definitely going to tank in Europe too. Much too esoteric for the price - this is not going to appeal to the casual listener / non die-hard fan.

Any word on when Disc Two is going to be made available to iTunes? Or a 'deluxe' package of discs one and two?

Possibly after another compilation release : "The Absolute Greatest Adamantium Cuts +"

Hollywood Records will release the box November 17th:

$150 ... The Rainbow box was $55 when I bought it when it was released several years ago and included four disks and the book and some minor extra goodies ... and if $55 was to much you could separately buy the music or video.

So ... the extra LP for Hammersmith is worth $95??? ...

Pony up stepfords ... ala carte items are not being offered.

Ok good news Amazon.ca has has the Box set at $176.29 CAD$

It is still too expensive as it should be the same price as Rainbow which was more appealing than that of the NOTW box set has to offer. I'm not buying it, I'm fed up with subpar Queen productions.
