I agree with folks suggesting The Game, but any more box sets may depend upon how the sales for NOTW go this Winter.

Brilliant!

I hear there are vacancies at Queen Productions management. You might want to inquire!

The Game and Jazz but of course I'd love to hear all three albums as a box of 6 CD's as @dudeofqueen suggested.

It would be nice (if they'd choose The Game as the next collector's box-set) to finally know if it was originally recorded as a double-album and to hear those tracks rejected (the second "album"). As some may remember, some time ago a queenzone poster named Roger's Untidy Bottom came here claiming all that about The Game. He claimed to be one of the band's friends from the inner-circle and being present at the recording session he claimed that The Game was recorded as a double-album but the second side was shelved shortly before pressing the album. He also claimed that Freddie recorded all of the lyrics written for Let Me Live.

A Live Killers update expanding it like the 2003 release of Wembley.

Honestly, as harsh as it sounds, considering Brian and Roger's (though, probably, just Brian's) almost pathological fear of having us hear something that they do not consider perfect, and the way they have vetoed interesting material and insisted on making Frankensteinian hybrid mixes to polish up original work-in-progress tracks - I would rather wait for a long time and see box sets put out after Brian and Roger are no longer with us, so that we get to hear the ACTUAL material and not the products of obsessive-compulsive revisionism.

I've really gone off Brian and Roger, as you can probably read from the above. [/QUOTE]
Sad but true.
Other benefits would be the halt of all that disgusting Queen+ stuff and that Glambert would vanish into thin air.
John Deacon: "I've heard what they did and it's rubbish." "Freddie can never be replaced." Brian May & Roger Taylor - ruining Queen's legacy since 1998.

They can create a lot of box:
1 - The Early years (from the beginning to SHA)
2 - Killers In The Making (JAzz and Live Killers)
3 - PLAY THE GAME (GAME and HOT SPACE)
4 - The Last Session (From the Miracle till Innuendo incl. Made In Heaven)

Flash Gordon, The Works and A Kind Of Magic can have some box combined together...

I'd go with Live Killers. Hadn't been remastered since the Hollywood Records 1991 release, I think, so it's about time. And it would be nice to finally see If You Can't Beat Them, Fat Bottomed Girls and It's Late included in the song list. With a Blu-Ray containing live performances from the era... One can dream, eh?

Supposedly The Game had the most material left over, but if it was any good it would surely have been on Made In Heaven. I do like the alternate takes we've heard from NOTW so far. I'd be up for more of that from any album. Preferably at a lower price.

We already got some on Made in Heaven in the form of It's a Beautiful Day (2×) and Let Me Live, but of course it would be great to hear some more work in progress on Sail Away Sweet Sister or Dragon Attack. The collaboration versions of Play th Game and Let Me Live are good candidates to include as well on such a release.

I honestly doubt that Queen Production will push through with these nice ideas they have. They released DVD'S of GVH I and II and then stopped, which leaves us still missing the official Innuendo videos. They released two great DVD Audio of The Game and A Night at the Opera and then just stopped, neglecting the fact that they have quite some albums left very suitable for such a release. Rainbow was released as a start of a very promissing live catalogue series, but after the release of Hammersmith, that bleeded to death quite quickly also...

I would probably like to see a combination of Jazz and a Live Killers set given a decent treatment.
I don't hold my breath on these things now...[/QUOTE]

Absolutely
Both albums could do with some serious work

Jazz in particular could be a spectacular album if it had been produced differently

Yes, Let me Live was originally a duet with Rod Stewart I believed
