Super! Nice pictures on the back of the booklet. Could you take pictures of the interior?

Listened to the newly-released tracks.
Doing All Right is a cleaner recording, but a whole lot less "warm". I'd rather the three of them had tried recording something new in that time, and use the original on the soundtrack.
WWRY mix - ewww. I'm sure it works in the context of the film, but the transition jars horribly on an audio-only basis
DSMN is entirely predictable, adding more guitar and squeezing out as much of Freddie as could be salvaged from the fadeout. It's not better, it's not even just different - for better or worse the original is definitive, I'd have agreed with Brian that some guitar low in the mix would probably have worked, but the moment passed and now he's trying to overcompensate by sticking fills in all over it.
Live Aid? I'll pop the DVD on and enjoy it from there. "new to CD" is not a significant sales point anymore, QPL...
In short - listened, won't be buying.

Being an 'OST' I would expect the movie versions of the songs as sung by that Martel Mercury mimic. Is this not the case?

I'm not too fond of the new Doing All Right… revisisted version. I would've prefered if they had chosen the Smile original or even a version that has the Smile recording in the fist half and the Queen recording in the second.
I know that would be a bit odd, but this version on the cd seems even more strange to my ears. Ans I'm with someone who said here before, that you can hear that the singers are all men in their late 60's / early 70's. Not young men anymore.
