The Queen Digital Studio Archive

Theresa May has just announced off the back of this press release that both sides of the Brexit debate have realised it's all silly arguing and we should all be friends because this news changes everything.

Is this the real life or is this just fantasy...?

Nice to have a laugh. It was entertaining because we all know the vault has been tightely shut for decades and to my guess it will stay that way.

This release could've been so much better. When are they ever going to give hardcore fans what they want ...

Not enough mistakes in it to be an official press release

they really should follow the neil young template. it would be a much cheaper more profitable way to make money off their demos etc. this is the proper way to release an anthology in the 21st century. they should have a 3-tiered membership platform. month to month at say 3$ per month which only gives you access to studio material. 10$ month to month for access to studio and live shows. 150$ annual for access to studio, live and the unreleased studio archive. no purchases, or mp3 etc - streaming only.

then eventually, once the waters have been tested, they can calculate the market share (using streaming data) for a physical release for a proper anthology (and i'm thinking pink floyd rather than the beatles.... that's how you do it)

Fleetwood Mac have "super" deluxe box sets of some their albums and the amount of content on them is amazing.

These are the discs on Fleetwood Mac:
Disc 1: The Original Album & Singles
Disc 2: Early Versions & Live from the Warner Bros. Sound Stage
Disc 3: Live from the Tour
Disc 4: DVD (5.1 Surround & 24/96 Stereo Mixes)

These are the discs on Rumours:
Disc 1: The Original Album
Disc 2: Live, 1977 Rumours World Tour
Disc 3: The Rosebud Film (DVD)
Disc 4: More from the Recording Sessions
Disc 5: Roughs & Outtakes, Early Demos, and Jam Sessions

These are the discs on Mirage:
Disc 1: Original Album – 2016 Remaster
Disc 2: B-Sides, Outtakes, Sessions
Disc 3: Live at The Forum, Los Angeles, CA October 21-22, 1982
Disc 4: Audio DVD that contains a 5.1 Surround Mix & 24/96 Stereo Audio of Original Album

If Queen were to continue doing a four disc deluxe edition of an album, e.g. the original album and any non-album stuff; early versions, outtakes and sessions; songs from the album's live tour (we now know there are good quality soundboard recordings from at least NOTW Tour 1977) and 5.1 Surround Mix, it would be AMAZING!

Fleetwood Mac have now done with all their albums in their classic line-up, and of course they all vary as one of them didn't have a live tour so they filled the space up with 12" mixes. So there should always be a solution to always have four discs.

And more importantly, all of Fleetwood Mac's complete deluxe editions are available to stream on Spotify.

I feel the 2011 masters started like this and then red tape and vetos made them what we have now.

Queen is not in the same league with other artists you mentioned, what works others wont suffice for Queen.

Wow. I had a semi on then. Now it's just a big flop.

Pic or it didn't happen

It's all real <<

If Queen ever released 4-6 disc Deluxe Editions of their albums they would include the 2011 remasters and the corresponding CD singles for each album from The Singles Collection. And Queen Rock Montreal for no apparent reason.

4-6 discs is unlikely

So real you can't find this so called press release anywhere. Shouldn' it be all over the... press? Any link to it? Of course there's no link, and i wonder why people respond to this fake news as if it was real.
