Worryingly, the links I've found seem to link the OTHER Brian May.[/QUOTE]

The evil one?[/QUOTE]

There is only an evil one. Think he is touring with a casting muppet these days but I am not sure

Okay, a bit more information trickling in. On at least three sites selling the CD (including Amazon Japan and importcds), there's the following product description:

"2020 release. Random cover Includes 104 page photobook, random photocard, and random poster."

... "random"?

I was curious about this and tried to see if it's a common sales tactic, and it looks like there are several examples of this kind of set by Korean acts such as BTS and Miroh. And Queen did give a shout out to k-pop acts like BTS not too long ago. But a 104-page photobook from a Brian may solo release...?

Oh wow, that's a lot.
A few thoughts..
- it's listed as a one disc release everywhere else at this point, so this information is new
- Tower Records has this filed under the composer Brian May (RIP), but with New Horizons, Flash, and Don't Stop Me Now included, it's safe to say it's Queen's Brian May
- those songs can't be in full and fit on a CD, so it has to be snippets of each; could this be basically a long guitar solo featuring elements of those listed tracks? Maybe with occasional vocals? The idea of it being a "Journey" into Space would be a fitting title if that were the case.
- didn't Brian describe Track 13 (on Made in Heaven) as Freddie's "journey" to heaven? And that was a long, meandering instrumental.

I have been thinking about this release too much.

I can see why this release was delayed with all of the covered songs on it

Space megamix. Hmmm.

Also, _punches screen_

considering that there is no announcement or image's of possible covers will the release date get pushed back again?

Well, HMV.com has the release date as January 1, 2022 now, even though all of the other sites recently added "2020 release" to the product information.

I don't see the title on sites that list upcoming new music releases.

Maybe it isn't real, it wouldn't be the first time non-existant products have showed up on several places online.

well considering that the supposed tracklist has the same song twice in a row it seems likely to be fake

It could be genuine. QPL has reputation for not knowing how to proofread anything.

February 7th came and went, but this disc was pulled from various Amazon sites, unavailable for pre-order. It's available again now, with a February 28th release, but still no cover image.

It contains the new May single "you go away now"

Still doesn't exist, does it ?
