The brand Queen has become a joke.

Yes and not a funny one. They are revelling in being their own tribute band complete with karaoke singer.

Again the press release has a mistake David Mallet didn't direct Bicycle Race...

I'm almost starting to think they are deliberately employing idiots and refusing to fact-check press releases, artwork, packaging etc purely to wind me up!!!

I guess the fact they're calling it a "film" means its not a standard definition upscale ..... John Deacon in HD!

Last Queen item that i bought was Queen On Fire DVD...Things like these remind me why...

I agree - I don’t think there is a Queen related release at all this year - it looks like the Freddie ‘Never Boring’ release is all there is - whatever that is but I doubt there’ll be much exciting stuff on that apart from a few new outtakes/ remixes if we’re lucky.

The more successful the Queen brand is currently, the less impetus QP have to release any new product as the film’s success is still fuelling sales of the back- catalogue around the world.

I still hope for something huge to be released for their 50th anniversary in 2021 (we did get the album remasters for their 40th with a few interesting extras on the deluxe albums) but just get envious of Pink Floyd fans with that huge ‘Early Years’ boxset and The Beatles rereleasing some of their albums with 2-4 extra CDs filled with extra tracks - The White Album has 6 CDs!

Indeed, dickheads of QP. This is how to do it!!

Maybe I missed it but is the Queen+ Elton John performance included in this release?

No, it's absent from the DVD. Makes this release even more hilarious.

Not a Beatles fan, but this is amazing!

The Beach Boys have been opening up their archives for a while now, which is truly great. As a fan of their music, this is a dream come true.

QP will never do this, because Brian doesn't want us to hear them making mistakes (demos, outtakes etc.)

As someone pointed out earlier: we have to wait for the Grim Reaper to do its work, I'm afraid.

With the movie hype around that brings tons of new people to queen and interest about the band grow a lot QPL have chance to rellease some never before seen concert or stuff like never before but all they can do with the recent hype is to rellease a fucking ballet footage? I was hoping for headbanging in my living room not for doing pirouette


So what we gonna rellease this year as new rellease? There is this paris 79 footage or houston 77? or what about live anthology?

Umm... what about ballet?

Man thats awesome you are genius that whats fans want for sure...
