Still waiting for Brian's solo years box set...

For the love of god PLEASE can we have this?
Brian himself mentioned that it was being worked on in an official Queen podcast...

They need to digitally release it too if it does see the light of day!

True. I never found out why his solo albums were taken of Spotify etc a year or so ago?

Optimistically speaking, perhaps it’s so the physical media will sell better when it’s released?

I doubt seriously that there will be a release. Rogers The Lot was also no success... sadly! I´d also love to have such a proper set of Brians solo stuff, but moneywise there will be no success of such an release.

Not a success in what way? Roger was aware of how popular or unpopular his solo material is or was. The UK/Non-US release sold out. And do you think either Brian and Roger NEED such a release to be a "success" for them to be able to release such things? They have been in a fincial situation for "quite a while" to do pretty much anything they like, and can lose money on such ventures with little consequence to themselves.

I'd imagine a Brian solo box hasn't come out, because a - it is likely Brian that has held back the proposed Queen archives sets and doesn't like releasing such things b - it'll highlight how lightweight his solo material is.

Ain't going to happen - there will, likely, be so many rights issues associated with all the collaborations and cover version's he's on that the wrangling will be too exensive / bothersome to actually bother with. Great idea as a concept, but in reality, a non-starter.

It's not a "concept" dude.
A concept would have be a compilation of re-recorded versions with Australian Symphony Orchestra and Andi Deris, for example.

We all know that Brian works only with friends (a.k.a. "people who acknowledge my greatness") but Andi has a studio in Tenerife, and Brian went to Tenerife observatory, so there is some kind of connection between them.
Although the fact that Andi has a voice may ruin the whole imaginary project.

Andi Deris? Michael Kiske is his buddy now and the project would be amazing! Brian May + Michael Kiske

Andi Deris has said that Freddie Mercury was his favorite singer. Michael Kiske mentioned this too.

Andi Deris???? Man where the fuck have I been?!

I had no idea the two ever were friends or planned to work on anything. I freaking love HELLOWEEN (both eras) and was fortunate to have attended their BEST OF BOTH WORLDS "PUMPKINS UNTIED" Tour.

I agree with this. He needs another album to truly have a box set worth releasing. He also may be holding back because he has a few finished songs but not enough for an album. And just waiting for the right time to finish the LP and then release a box.

Two and a half album plus mainly collaborations and some demos isn’t enough for an anthology.

3.5 if you count furia

And Brixton (CD & DVD), Royal Albert Hall (filmed but unreleased), Guitar Expo etc.

^and MACBETH (*verbally confirmed he still has this - prob no intent to release it though)

Agreed. Am I in a minority here for thinking what a waste of time those 2 studio albums with Ms. Ellis were? If he had spent that time recording just one "Brian May solo" album ....
