Which album should get the anniversary box treatment next?

Live Killers. Was going to say Live Magic too, but the great thing about that for me is what is there - additional recordings would just water it down.

Maybe Live Magic with the BR opera section restored.

I'd like a complete The Miracle. The 2011 issue was great, but all those b-sides, edits and remixes in one place would be fantastic. OK, not a classic album (I like it!) but all the extra material is crying out for a nice box.

Speaking of The Miracle, CMI did a nice imaginary 3 disc edition which was should have happened with all the albums in 2011.

Yes that was very nice. But lost points for adding back TMLWKY :)

Silly Boy.
Amazing song. Love it.

A completely new Livekillers with different versions of existing (composite) tracks, plus all the missing songs that were played live.
Then do Jazz and ADATR.

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.

Hard not to agree with both of you. But I think it mostly Brian and Jim Beach. Roger already released 'The Lot' 4 years ago so IMO this shows that Roger at least wants do something.

Brian had a plan to release Brixton recently and what?... Let me quote official Brian's youtube channel - "The Brixton concert audio has now been re-mastered by Tim Young, under the supervision of Justin Shirley-Smith and Kris Fredriksson." (2015) And still nothing.

Regarding Jim Beach, someone on this forum last year (?) wrote a post when he bumped into Roger somewhere in Britain but he didn't say 'hello' or anything but just followed him. He could heard Roger saying something like "This bastard Beach" beacuse he didn't want to let release something. I don't remeber this story exactly.

It looks like they lost their mind (in a way) after 1998 when they decided to reincarnate Queen brand. Up until then everything was alright. They released MiH and 'No One But You' which I consider to be the very last Queen song. Deaky still wanted to cooperate in 1997 beacuse apart from this song they performed with Elton John earlier that year. And as we know they rehearsed Innuendo around that time. Suddenly they started to do weird collaborations, WWRY musical (Roger said he doesn't like musicals) GH3... John knew this was the time to retire.

Which album boxes I would like most to hear?
1. The Miracle - MiH. Sooo many stuff there. As mentioned earlier it was proven they have many outtakes and studio chatter for Innuendo. It took them 3-4 hours to listen only 4 songs. And can you imagine listening to rejected takes of Freddie's vocals for Mother Love? And his instuctions he gave them? And any other 1991 stuff? And how the last album evolved after that until release in 1995?

2. Everything from the 60s before they were Queen and the first session of the band in September 1971. Wasn't it the very first time Freddie was in a recording studio? Add some 1970-1972 concerts and this would be great!

BTW I would love to hear some more concerts from Queen II Tour beacuse if the other gigs were as great as Rainbow then that was the best Queen tour ever, along with NOTW Tour and Crazy Tour. (I know this could be quite subjective)

Backwards from News of the World.

Studio chatter from Hot Space could be interesting, though.

@brians wig

You're silly.

You mean 2021 Frankenstein versions of 1990 demos/takes with auto tune and a few additional effects.

I’d say The Miracle for its 30th. We have heard of a few different vocals over the years!! Let’s hear some of those 40 tracks that were talked about when the album was released.

The Miracle in 2019. As a 12-year-old it was my first introduction to Queen. Loved the album and the videos from that period.

None.

They butchered Greatest sHits III, Rocks, the 2011 remaster bonus discs, the BBC 'box' (the two disc was fine though about twenty years late), 'Forever', and now the bloated NOTW offering. I am wondering if the day will come soon where I can buy the NOTW 'raw(?) sessions' on their own via iTunes, without having to buy the original album as well (already have it) along with the BBC tracks (already have them) . Thanks to fans, I have concerts from Copenhagen, Houston, and Detroit from that tour....not from QPL.

And I made my own little 'box' sets from what is available on youtube of each album.

QPL: wish in one hand........

^^ yeah, btw, that vinyl album.. Anyone find a good free app yet to play that thing?

All of them
