What should be contained in The Miracle Box Set?

I meant 12 Minute version of Stealin'

Greg Brooks never heard about Dog With A Bone and Stealin 12 min version, so it will not be on the album.

Too Much Love will come on the MID 60th year anniversary album

Roger has said himself that some of their eighties stuff has aged more than there seventies stuff - The Miracle supports this theory. I would like to hear less synth drums if they do a new mix of the entire album because that may change my preference on the album. The Works and A Kind Of Magic sound a lot better and long lasting whilst compared to The Miracle.

I'm surprised there was no A Kind Of Magic box set or the Game or The Works, I do like The Miracle album etc just puzzled at missing the previous albums.

Hahaha...not surprsed really! :)

21st century Schizoid Man... in all fairness. If a BoRhap II came along I'd imagine something like THE INVISIBLE MAN getting DJ rotation for "Queen Props" etc. Even though it may not be spectacular.

It might usher in interest in the 80's again. ....pull ADAM ANT and Culture Club out of retirement ;)

I think “The Game” will most likely get a 40 year anniversary, since that’s up next year, and maybe to wait for “the miracle” to turn 40 would be too much, so to go with 30 would be the best choice.

The Game

Featuring:
BIKE IT SHIRT
DISPOSABLE Razor Blade (*for Freddie, not easily useable for suicide)

CD 1:
original album remaster

CD 1-2:
2 unfinished previously unheard demos
It's a Beautiful Day
SASS featuring Freddie vocal
A human body
commercial advertisement for QUEEN:MONOPOLY
unused SAVE ME demo with Brian's guide vocal





5.1 mix again
a note from Axl Rose about SASS
2 minutes of a complete unearthed concert from 81
(*so that the classic fan is horrified there's no accompanying full site release but also grateful for the 5.1 rerelease.)

You'd think they would do a hugely successful album like A Night At The Opera, The Game or The Works before an album like The Miracle which was only successful in certain territories. Perhaps it's because of the content that comes with it. Or, perhaps Queen's popularity will unfortunately slip at some point in the future so they want to get least commercial albums out of the way because the biggest albums will be successful in a deluxe edition nonetheless.

That's a fair way of looking at it. Stick out the nonsense while riding high, then to keep up the excitement in a couple of years drop the bigguns.

Opera:
We've already had an anniversary release, 5.1 mix, making of documentary and snippets of demos in it. Reportedly there is not so much or nothing at all left of unused material.
Miracle:
Despite rumoured 35 tracks worked on during those sessions, all we have are a crap quality demos that somehow leaked plus one officialy released early verion of IM, probably frankensteined from several takes. No 5.1 mix, no 'making of' documentary despite 5 top notch music videos (which by the way weren't even officially released).
Makes sense in the end, doesn't it?

< Double post >

(which by the way weren't even officially released)

Yes they were

Of course it would be great if they'd release a massive 'The Miracle' deluxe or anniversary edition, but I will not get my hopes up until I have seen the final product.

Comparing to the one special or deluxe album edition we have, the obvious material that should be included (album, extended remixes, single mixes, the already known demos) in the boxset will already compromise at least 3 discs. I don't think they will add more than 1 or 2 discs to that that will include material that we can't even guess about.

Additional blu-ray could include a 5.1 mix of the album, official music videos, making of videos, EPK and interviews/TV appearances.

It would be fun if they'd include one of the actual teaser, capitol work in progress or capitol rough mixes tape :)

A lot of possible ways to do this one, but let's wait and see.
