What should be contained in The Miracle Box Set?

Yeah it's a project we can really get our teeth in to knowing a lot of the surplus material out there.

I hope they stick the non album tracks onto the disc containing the main album - it's a thing that bugs me where the main album is presented on it's own disc with usually about 40 minutes free unused space. I get the thinking behind it of course, it just seems wasteful.

In this case it can easily be justified by following the original CD tracklist that added Chinese Torture and HOIT to the main album. Slap the rest of the b sides on it so you have all the songs released in the era represented in one place.
That said, I also like the idea of the 12" cuts plus appropriate b-sides collected together on a separate disc. See? I'm going around in circles lolz.

My idea would also be to put the non-album b-sides to the disc with the album. Extended versions, single and alternate mixes that have been officially released should be gathered on a separate disc in my opinion :)

Who is the comedian that has posted this on the Wikipedia page for The Miracle album?!....

“"Rain Must Fall", the sixth single from the album, released on 25 September 2019 , reached number 1 on the British charts. The video featured animated counterparts of Queen performing to the track“.

K770i at a guess

Oh well, they've gotta include that September 25th video now in the set!

A replica of Freddie's Invisible Man shades will definitely be included.

I hope so. I entered a competition to win them on kids TV in 1989. I've been angry ever since.

Actually that said - you can now pick up cheap versions of them in most touristy shops.

What show was that? Just curious

Whatever the BBC morning tv stuff was called in Summer 1989. Going Live?

BLOODY HAPPY DAYS

What should be contained in The Miracle Box Set? An actual miracle, comprised of fairy dust -- sprinkle it on anything and heal a leper, part the red sea, turn water into wine, or arise from the grave. Alternatively sprinkle onto a Cross album and miraculously make it listenable.

Release date: Easter Sunday?

I wonder if the DVD will include easter eggs?
